Donald Trump’s eldest son has teamed up with Trump megadonor Omeed Malik to create a new club for supporters of the president that has a lengthy waiting list and a huge membership fee.
Yes, it costs more than the fancy gym with the sauna and the smoothie bar.
The so-called ‘Executive Branch’ club has been created by Donald Trump Jr. and Malik with the help of a number of other Trump investors, and it launched after the recent White House Correspondents’ Dinner took place on April 26.
The first ‘exclusive gathering’ of the club was invitation-only, with details shared by Politico after it successfully made the list, but the location – reportedly The Occidental restaurant, near the White House – was only revealed once attendees had submitted their RSVP.
Among those reportedly attending the first meeting were White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, and White House Deputy Chiefs of Staff Taylor Budowich and James Blair.
According to Politico and two anonymous sources, the new club — named Executive Branch — will be located in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., and aims to become the most exclusive private club the city has ever seen.
Executive Branch will specifically cater to individuals looking to build and strengthen ties with the Trump administration. In other words, membership won’t be open to just anyone.
To keep the club highly exclusive, it carries a steep membership fee of over $500,000. Whether that hefty price tag includes a badge or a secret handshake remains unclear — but we can only hope.
An announcement on the club’s official website notes that membership is by invitation only and that the waiting list for new applicants is already closed. Memberships are also subject to an annual review, according to the site.
Sources speaking to Axios revealed that the Executive Branch club will feature a bar, lounge, restaurant, and boardroom, with the concept already attracting strong interest from both the donor community and international figures.
Once inside, members will have the rare opportunity to mingle freely with Trump advisers and cabinet members — all away from the eyes of the press and public scrutiny.
In addition to Donald Trump Jr. and Andy Malik, Executive Branch is also co-owned by Malik’s business partner Chris Buskirk, along with Zach and Alex Witkoff, the sons of Trump envoy Steve Witkoff.
Founding members of the club include prominent venture capitalists David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya, as well as investors Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
