Seriously?!? Newest Trump Photo Op Will Cost MAGA Fans A Small Fortune

President Donald Trump is looking to rally support and raise cash for Republican candidates at next week’s midterm “convention,” and attendees hoping for time with Trump will have to pony up some big bucks. The Wall Street Journal reported this week that attending a roundtable with Trump will cost $250,000 a person ― and if you want a pic with the prez, that’ll cost another $88,600. By that measure, Vice President JD Vance is a relative bargain: his roundtable will cost $75,000 per person, and a photo will be $35,000, the newspaper said. Read the full report here. The concept of a “midterm” convention itself is unusual, and some are dubious of holding one at a time when the president himself is so deeply unpopular amid rising prices and a war in Iran that has dragged on for more than six months. But it’s also unusual in how it’s being run, as just about everything is for sale ― even being an “honorary delegate,” which will cost up to $20,000. In addition to any money raised by the convention, Trump’s MAGA Inc. super PAC is sitting on a massive $400 million war chest that GOP candidates in tight races hope he will use to bolster their campaigns. So far, however, it hasn’t spent much, according to Politico. “Our threat level should be up and people are going to have an expectation that you deploy all your resources,” one unnamed GOP donor told the website. “He’s sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars, not doing that. We’re in September.” By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
