Trump's Fundraisers Charge $1 Million Per Plate

Business leaders are willing to pay substantial sums to meet with former President Donald Trump at exclusive dinners held at his Mar-a-Lago estate, with personal meetings costing $5 million and group dinners priced at $1 million per seat. These events, organized by the MAGA Inc. super PAC, have raised ethical concerns regarding the potential selling of access to the president and influence over his decisions. The latest dinner, described as a 'candlelight dinner' with Trump as a speaker, took place on March 1 and was reported by various sources, including Wired and Axios. Critics, including political experts, worry that such fundraising practices blur the lines between Trump's business and political activities. Additionally, as Trump seeks to raise funds for his agenda, he has proposed selling 'golden cards' to foreigners for $5 million, which would allow them to live and work in the U.S. The fundraising efforts are part of a broader strategy to accumulate significant financial backing ahead of upcoming political campaigns.
