He doesn’t have any influence. I’m leaning more toward money laundering.
I’m leaning towards straight up grift. Once he gets the money, he’s not giving anything in return.
No, you will get a ticket. Not the event. Just a ticket.
A NFT ticket. Not a real one.
Then why push for foreign parties? I mean, the grift is absolutely the thing but he’s also offering up these as a means of laundering money for the unsavory foreign types he consorts with. More grift that way.
I mean, I did include pictures of Trump posing with foreign nationals from the last time he did this.
It’s still a grift, but he’s holding up his end of the scam. $10k gets you a face to face with Trump, some worthless NFTs, and dinner in a gaudy AF ballroom with top secret documents in the restroom.
If anyone goes, keep your eye open for thick binder with Russian intelligence in it. At this point, probably with ketchup stains on it.
And what about those shell companies??
Oh, wait, that’s when he was selling peanuts at the ball game. Never mind.
Nah, he handed that over to his beloved Vlad ages ago.
Any Republican who hasn’t yet learned that they can crime all they want and never be held accountable is probably in a coma. All the rest of them know it.
As SunUp said, it used to be that GOP crime-doers feared being held accountable because their voters might hear of their crimes. Now they know there’s no chance of that happening. GOP voters know NEVER to listen to anything but Fox and talk-radio.
Mmmm. Cold McDonalds.
From a fucking idiot who lives in a house that has chefs on the staff.
I don’t want to defend him, but I believe this was during a government shutdown and his chefs were on leave.
Not that the alleged billionaire didn’t have a dozens of better options than this.
Yeah, Trump did his best.
Trump could shit into a hat, and serve that to his guests, and the sycophants would deem it the best meal ever.
Withdrawn, off-topic
But would trump demand two scoops? 
And what generous portions!
So then he’s the idiot who didn’t know his chefs were actually government employees paid for by the government he was celebrating shutting down.
