Donald Trump Jr. is preparing to launch an exclusive new club named Executive Branch in the upscale Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., scheduled to open next month. Membership comes at a hefty price of $500,000, with some insiders reportedly offering as much as $1 million to gain entry, according to CNBC.
The club is designed to attract a select group of members who align with the Trump era of Republicanism, steering clear of traditional Bush-era Republicans. Trump Jr., along with his partners—including crypto investor David Sacks and others—aims to create a more modern and vibrant social scene for conservative elites.
In a notable twist, former President George W. Bush and many of his former staffers are expected to be unwelcome at the new venue, which is strategically hidden behind Georgetown Park. The founders have emphasized a rigorous vetting process, aiming to maintain an exclusive atmosphere free from media and lobbyist presence, allowing members to engage in private discussions.
Sacks, discussing the club’s intent, pointed out the generational divide in the Republican Party, emphasizing the desire for a space that fosters Trump’s vision and approach rather than one influenced by the older Bush political legacy.
It remains to be seen how successful this venture will be, but the focus on exclusivity could resonate with those eager to connect within a hyper-targeted network. This initiative reflects the shifting dynamics within the Republican Party and offers a glimpse into the continuing evolution of conservative social circles.
