All the people banned from Don Jr.'s exclusive DC club Executive Branch - and the former GOP president who will be furious
@Source: dailymail.co.uk
Donald Trump Jr.'s exclusive new club for supporters of his father's administration will ban many of Washington DC's elites - including mostly everyone who worked for former President George W. Bush.
The president's eldest son is set to open Executive Branch in the heart of the capitol's Georgetown neighborhood next month for Trump supporters who are willing to shell out half a million to join - with some even offering to pay $1 million to get in the door, per CNBC.
But even those with that kind of money will have to pass some rigorous criteria to gain admittance into the subterranean night club tucked behind Georgetown Park via a set of stairs next to the mall's parking garage, according to the New York Times.
Only those who personally know one of the club's owners can gain admittance.
In addition to Trump Jr., the club was co-founded by President Trump's crypto czar David Sacks, Zach and Alex Witkoff - the sons of Trump's Middle East envoy, Omeed Malik, who leads 1789 Capital and Chris Buskirk, who cofounded the conservative donor group Rockbridge Network.
And even those who know one of the founders may be barred from the club if they are a member of the media, Sacks has said.
'Bush-era Republicans' are also likely to be barred from the club, the Times reports.
'This is not just for any Saudi businessman,' a spokesman for Executive Branch told the outlet.
Sacks had explained the reasoning for the club's exclusivity on his podcast last month.
'To the extent there are Republican clubs, they tend to be more Bush-era Republicans as opposed to Trump-era Republicans,' he said.
'So we wanted to create something new, hipper and Trump-aligned.'
An insider familiar with the club's plans also told CNBC that prospective members have to be heavily vetted and approved by its founders.
'We don't want members of the media or just a lot of lobbyists joining,' the source said. 'We want people to feel comfortable having conversations in privacy.'
There is now expected to be fewer than 200 members at the club, according to the Times.
Among those who were lucky enough to be named founding members are Sacks, the controversial Winklevoss twins who famously sued Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg over the social media site's founding; Jeff Miller, a top Trump fundraiser; and venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya.
Executive Branch's launch party last month also reportedly featured Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Federal Communications Chairman Brendan Carr, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, deputy FBI director Dan Bongino and Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Also in attendance were several tech founders and CEOs, including AppLovin CEO Adam Foroughi, CNBC reports.
It is now expected that the commander-in-chief may also stop by, after losing his Trump International Hotel - where he spent nights in his first administration holding a table at the steakhouse and providing fodder for journalists in the lobby.
The hotel faced ethics complaints as several world leaders and DC elites frequented the space to speak with the president, whose Trump Organization owned the building.
In 2022, the Trump Organization sold the hotel's lease.
