As the prospect of a government shutdown hangs over Washington, Donald Trump will travel to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Friday, where he plans to host a one-year anniversary of his inauguration that costs $100,000 for a pair of tickets.

As Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs reports, Trump wanted to throw a year anniversary of his victory last November, but was instead on trip to Asia.

A party to mark the one-year anniversary of Trump’s inauguration is scheduled for Saturday night at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, with tickets starting at $100,000 a pair, I’m told.

Trump wanted to throw a party in November at the one-year mark after the election, but was traveling in Asia at that time. https://t.co/p03Ms36wlv

12. You took the words right outa my mouth!

Do the "guests" get to pay their Mar a Drano dues before or after the party?

[TheBlackAdder]

2. What's on the menu? Botulism, E. coli, Salmonella, Tuberculosis, Diarrhea, Legionnaires, Noro, Staph

.

95% of the money will come from untraceable sources, most of attendees will be of Russian ancestry.

Note: The place was hit a couple of months ago for health violations.

[BobTheSubgenius]

8. He can invite all those 'back to work' coal miners

They must be rolling in the dough by now.

9. If this were a Dem, the knuckle-dragging wingnuts would froth at the mouth over this ...

Claiming EVERY PENNY that's raised in this 'Anniversary Party' ... should go directly towards paying back to the TAXPAYERS who've been funding his weekly golf junkets.

Junkets where the profits made from the rooms and meals and golf carts and everything else needed for the Secret Service and Trump ... GO STRAIGHT FROM TAXPAYERS ... RIGHT INTO TRUMPS OWN POCKETS!

This whole 'arrangement' is corrupt beyond f***ing words.

This whole Mar A Loco thing ALONE would be the source of absolutely NON STOP FURY from people on the Right if this were a Dem.

They were crying constantly about Obama golfing 1/3 as much as Trump, and NONE of the profits made by the resorts where he took his golfing trips were getting anywhere near his OWN POCKET.

People on the Right are such a bunch of hypocrites, I swear to Dog.

BTW F*** THE ENTIRE LYING CRIMINAL GOP ENTERPRISE.

We need a Blue Wave come November, and there better be ZERO capitulation by the Dems in either House once we have 'em back. They need to go after this CROOK with everything they've got.

[OAITW r.2.0]

29. Well said!

In a just world, the entire Republican Party would be up on RICO charges. They are a criminal enterprise with an allegiance to the US $....only.

[Ilsa]

10. So, don't they have to call it a fundraiser?

I doubt they are serving gold leaf truffles. I imagine one of his russian mob buddies will drop off some caviar.

[Marie Marie]

11. This idiot never tires of celebrating himself does he?

[Kirk Lover]

14. Oh the optics of this will be delicious. n/t

[Initech]

15. Yup! Which reminds me I need to go buy some popcorn and beer!

:pocorn:

[BobTheSubgenius]

16. Could he possibly be more arrogant and tone-deaf?

I wouldn't go to this thing if it was free...which is not an uncommon sentiment, I'm sure.

[gratuitous]

18. Well, it's not like he has anything to do at his day job

Remember how Trump used to get all honked off when Obama wasn't chained up in the Oval Office?

[PatSeg]

19. I remember a few years back

being shocked that Italy had elected Silvio Berlusconi more than once. It seemed inconceivable at the time and now we have someone as bad, if not worse in the White House.

[BigmanPigman]

20. Is there an official taster to detect Plutonium?

[LuckyCharms]

21. Only $50,000 per ticket?

God bless you, Donald J. Trump, for making your ticket prices affordable for the working man. MAGA!!!

[logosoco]

22. If there is one thing I hope the young people in this country are learning from this s-head...

you can have a lot of money but still have no class.

23. Fiddling while Rome burns.
