An invitation for a Jan. 21 fundraiser, viewed by The Wall Street Journal, listed Donald Jr. and Eric Trump as “honorary co-chairmen” and said the event would be hosted by the Opening Day Foundation, a nonprofit where the younger Trumps were registered as directors, according to the Texas secretary of state, less than a week ago.


In a statement Tuesday, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks disputed the younger Trumps’ association with the event. “The Opening Day event and details that have been reported are merely initial concepts that have not been approved or pursued by the Trump family,” she said. “Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are avid outdoorsman and supporters of conservation efforts, which align with the goals of this event, however they are not involved in any capacity.”

The filing with the Texas secretary of state shows the Trumps were registered as directors for the nonprofit on Dec. 14. The registered agent for the group is Gentry Beach, a longtime friend of Donald Jr. whom the president-elect last month appointed to his inaugural committee.

Mr. Beach didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

Donors who give $1 million (“Bald Eagle” status) are offered a “private reception and photo opportunity for 16 guests” with Eric and Donald Jr. and a “very special guest”—confirmed by a person familiar with the event as the president-elect. They are also promised a “multi-day hunting and/or fishing excursion for 4 guests with Donald Trump Jr. and/or Eric Trump, and team.”


An earlier version of the invitation, published by TMZ.com and first reported by the Center for Public Integrity, was blunter and named the president directly. A spokesman for the event didn’t return a request for comment about the change.

During the campaign, Mr. Trump pledged to “drain the swamp” and said that as president, he wouldn’t be beholden to special interests and major donors. He also railed against Democrat Hillary Clinton and her family foundation, accusing her of engaging in “pay-to-play” politics as secretary of state.

The Trump train, and it's carriages speeding on to Make America Great Again..
 
I can't confirm but I'm hearing a gentleman from Moscow is the top donor so far.
 
Sounds like they're selling pics with God Emperor Trump for $1m...sounds like smart business to me...GOAT first family...
 
If you bitched about the Clinton Foundation then be consistent and bitch about this. If you defended Hilary then don't be a hypocrite and defend this.

Sounds like bullshit to me. A President shouldn't be contributing his efforts or likeness for money. He's getting paid to do one job and one job only. Be fuckin' President.
 
Lmao at those two spoiled sons of a billionaire being 'avid outdoorsman'. Outdoors to them probably means the lobby of Trump tower.

Politics as usual man, make the plebs fight each other while you reap the benefits of power.

Hillary or Trump same fucking shit.

Only if you have your $1M donation of untraceable cash ready, however.

The rest of you are fucked.

If people would realize that when they speak of the "system" they really speak of themselves. Put another way, if something is business as usual then that's because we the people don't collectively give a shit.

Not sure what produces more hypocrites than the team attitude in the two-party system.

People collectively dont give a shit isnt that quite obvious? 320 million people and only 2 parties for over 150 years.

America is in a bad spot because as a nation you have missed on a lot of strife that has affected more conflictive nations, the last major strife was the civil war and it seems that the aftermath was nor properly handled.
 
How are these guys allowed anywhere near a charity after the Trump Foundation bullshit?
 
Also, since when did you guys elect a royal family?

It's obvious.

There needs to be a middle party that doesn't rail on their competition for things they defend themselves over. Someplace people can go who aren't hypocrites. Like maybe a party dedicated to upholding the Constitution rather than dishonestly attempting to circumvent the parts they don't like. One that would work for change in the legally mandated way and be willing to respect the law when they can't swing enough votes for their position. One that doesn't resort to deception for support. Blah, blah, blah.
