GOP Megadonors Pay Up for Dinner with Trump

March 21, 2024 · 12:07 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Billionaire investor John Paulson has announced he’ll hold a flashy fundraiser for Donald Trump next month as the former president’s need for campaign cash grows alongside his stack of legal bills and judgments,” the Financial Times reports.

“Paulson will host the dinner in Palm Beach on April 6 alongside two people who have flocked to Trump after initially supporting his rivals: Robert Bigelow, a real estate investor who was the biggest donor to Florida governor Ron DeSantis during his failed presidential bid, and Harold Hamm, a shale oil baron who had called on Trump to drop out of the race in July last year.”

“There are two guest tiers: those who give at least $250,000, and those who drop a cool $814,600 — and get to sit at Trump’s table. Everybody will be able to snap a photo with the former president and receive a goody bag with a ‘personalized ‘Our Journey Together’ coffee table book’, according to the invitation.”
