Donald Trump Jr will not allow these Republicans in his $500k exclusive club
Donald Trump Jr's exclusive club Executive Branch is for the wealthiest but not for any rich person.
Donald Trump Jr has a long list of people who will not get entry to his exclusive club, called the Executive Branch, that will open in June. It will be an invite-only club that will cost $500,000 to join.
But some people will never be able to join: traditional Republicans, like Bush-era Republicans who mostly hate President Donald Trump and also frequent other Republican clubs, also fake news reporters and even a lobbyist.
A New York Times report said President Trump is expected to drop by here now that he no longer has the Trump International Hotel, where he spent nights in his first term. The property was sold in 2022 and is now owned by the Waldorf Astoria chain.
So Executive Branch will be his break zone when he can't travel to Mar-a-Lago.
The club is not for any Saudi businessman, as they can visit any of the other clubs in the capital. Members of Don Jr's club don't want to be annoyed when they chill.
Trump's crypto czar, David Sacks, who is a founding member of the club, said traditional Republicans won't be the members of this club. 'To the extent there are Republican clubs, they tend to be like more Bush-era Republicans as opposed to Trump-era Republicans,' Sacks said.
'So we wanted to create something new, hipper and Trump-aligned.'
An Executive Branch spokesperson told the NYT there is another stringent barrier to entry: You must know one of the club's owners to get through the door.
In addition to Don Jr and Sacks, the club is owned by Zach and Alex Witkoff, the sons of President Trump's Middle East envoy; Omeed Malik, who leads 1789 Capital; and Chris Buskirk, who co-founded the conservative donor group 'Rockbridge Network.'
A CNBC report earlier said that the members would have to be heavily vetted and approved by its founders.

Taiwan detects Chinese incursions near its territory
Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence detected 11 Chinese aircraft and seven Chinese Naval vessels operating around itself as of 6am (local time) on Sunday. As per the MND, out of 11, six sorties entered Taiwan's southwestern ADIZ. In a post on X, the MND said, "11 sorties of PLA aircraft and 7 PLAN vessels operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. 6 out of 11 sorties entered Taiwan's southwestern ADIZ. ROC Armed Forces have monitored the situation and responded accordingly." Earlier on Saturday, the Taiwanese MND detected 34 PLA aircraft, eight PLAN vessels and one official ship operating around itself. In a post on X, it said, "34 PLA aircraft, 8 PLAN vessels and 1 official ship operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. 25 out of 34 sorties crossed the median line and entered Taiwan's northern, central and southwestern ADIZ. We have monitored the situation and responded." Live Events Meanwhile, Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) on Thursday criticised Chinese state media for deliberately misrepresenting Taiwan's sovereign status, following reports that former US President Donald Trump reaffirmed the "one China" policy during a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping. China's official Xinhua News Agency reported that Xi urged Trump during the call to handle the Taiwan issue with caution and warned against letting "Taiwanese separatists" provoke confrontation between the US and China. The report claimed Trump expressed support for maintaining the "one China" policy. However, Trump's public statements following the call focused primarily on trade. Writing on social media, he described the conversation as "very positive" and said a new round of lower-level trade talks would be held soon. He made no mention of Taiwan in his statement, instead highlighting progress on issues related to rare earth minerals. In response, MOFA said in a statement published by the Taipei Times that China was using "a recurring tactic" of distorting Taiwan's status to manipulate international perceptions and falsely claim consensus on the "one China" narrative. The ministry emphasised that Taiwan remains committed to preserving peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and would continue working with allies, including the United States, to defend democratic values and regional prosperity.

Marines at Camp Pendleton placed on alert as LA riots intensify, says Pete Hegseth
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Saturday that US Marines at Camp Pendleton have been placed on high alert and could be deployed to support National Guard efforts in Los Angeles, as violent protests continue for a second day. Camp Pendleton, located in North San Diego County, is the main West Coast base of the US Marine Corps. In a post on X, Hegseth wrote, 'The violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil; a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK.' 'Under President Trump, violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated. It's COMMON SENSE.' 'The Department of Defense is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert,' he added. Protests erupted in Los Angeles on Friday following ICE raids. It escalated on Saturday, with demonstrators clashing with Border Patrol officers. In response, President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles. A White House press release stated: "In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. 'These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California's feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens. That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester.' California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the move, calling it 'purposefully inflammatory.' 'The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions,' Newsom wrote on X. 'LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment's notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need,' he added. 'The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.'

Trump sends National Guard to Los Angeles amid growing protests against immigration raids
PARAMOUNT: US President Donald Trump is deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops over the governor's objections to Los Angeles where protests Saturday led to clashes between immigration authorities and demonstrators. The White House said in a statement Saturday that Trump was deploying the Guardsmen to 'address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester' in California. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, objected to the move and said in a post on X that the move from the Republican president was 'purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.' The White House's move to dramatically ratchet up the response came as protests in Los Angeles extended into a second day where tear gas and smoke filled the air as protesters faced off with Border Patrol personnel in riot gear. In a signal of the administration's aggressive approach, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth threatened in a post on X to deploy the US military. 'If violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert,' Hegseth said. Trump federaliSed part of the California's National Guard under what is known as Title 10 authority, which places him, not the governor, atop the chain of command, according to Newsom's office. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that the work the immigration authorities were doing when met with protests is "essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California's feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens.'
