Donald Trump Jr. and MAGA’s elite class are hoping to shift the social tectonics in Washington, D.C., with a new Trump-aligned private club.
Executive Branch, a forthcoming private club with a $500,000 entry tag, is carving out space for the Trump-era rich and powerful in Georgetown, according to a report in the New York Times.
Marketed as a refuge from legacy institutions and the press, it’s backed by a who’s-who of the MAGA class – crypto moguls, conservative financiers, and Trump family associates – and aims to insulate members from “fake news” reporters and old-guard Republicans alike.
“This is not just for any Saudi businessman,” an Executive Branch spokesman said from a private jet. “You have to know the owners.” He called it a place “where they’re not annoyed.”
The club, set to open next month in a repurposed Georgetown bar, touts its exclusivity with just 200 members and a décor modeled on Manhattan’s Aman club. It’s also poised to serve as
“You’re not going to run into someone you don’t trust,” said David Sacks, a founding member and Trump’s current crypto czar.
On his podcast, Sacks described traditional GOP haunts as “more Bush-era Republicans,” while Executive Branch is “new, hipper, and Trump-aligned.”
Just blocks from the Treasury, the newly opened Ned’s Club, with its $10,000 annual price tag, is aiming to be the bipartisan salon of the moment – part Roaring Twenties revival, part source-gathering ground for media and tech elites.
“I enjoy walking into the Ned and seeing other young Black professionals,” said MSNBC regular Symone Sanders Townsend, who’s on the membership committee. But when asked about Trump’s club by the Times, she replied: “I don’t think I’ll be on the membership list for that one.”
