Trump-aligned club for the ultra rich launches in #Washington - POLITICO

The referral requirements & prohibitive pricing is meant to ensure the C-suite crowd can mingle with #Trump advisers & #cabinet members without the prying eyes of the press & wanna-be insiders. The price tag won’t be a problem for Trump’s cabinet — given it’s by far the wealthiest in history.

The club already has a waitlist.
