Today in Charlotte: "$1,000 per head to get in the door" or "$25,000 to mingle with Trump"

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After more than a week of buildup, President Trump is set to make two stops in Charlotte Friday.

First, Trump is slated to visit the CPCC Harris Conference Center, where he is expected to sign an executive order regarding retirement security. He'll also speak to an invited group of guests on the topic. The second stop for the president will be Carmel Country Club for a private fundraiser to benefit Republicans Mark Harris and Rep. Ted Budd, both of whom are facing tough challenges in November's general election.

For both candidates, Trump's visit is not only important because they have backing from the White House, but they're hoping it will help raise campaign funds to close the gap on their opponents. Harris, who defeated incumbent Robert Pittenger in May's primary for the nomination in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District, spoke exclusively to NBC Charlotte about having the president's support.

Tickets for the private luncheon start at $1,000 per head to get in the door. Donors can also pay up to $25,000 to mingle with Trump and have their picture taken with him during the event. Harris said he expects at least 300 people to attend the fundraiser.

1. What will my wooden nickel get?

2. Shouldn't he be at one of his golf resorts? n/t

3. I wouldn't mingle with the guy

if they PAID ME the $25K. I have more respect for myself than that.

5. Oh I would go "mingle" if they paid me $25000.

Secret service would throw me out pretty quickly. I would cash the check and donate it to Dem candidates.

4. I'm only 90 miles from Charlotte

Should I set up a Gofundme page to live out my lifelong dream of meeting our favorite President?
I’ll promise all the suckers, I meant donors, that I won’t donate the money to the DCCC.

6. He needs help with his legal bills

Mr Drooly-Yawny must be charging him a lot of money to say all that crazy shit.

7. For $100,000, you can completlely avoid Trump altogether for a day

No Trump tweets. No Trump news stories. No Trump. For an entire day.

8. Budd is my congressman...yuck!

I asked him at a recent "town hall" meeting if he would support the repeal of the 2nd Ammendment and if not is it because he proffits from it as the owner of a gun store.

He was taken aback and gave some gibberish answer about how owning a gun store provides jobs.

I'll be glad when he is gone.
