His Grandmother was good friends with my Grandmother. I am more than disgusted that he attended this event.

... this is shameful.

If this is really a charity event, and the money goes to orphans or refugees (or something honorable), then I'd give it a pass. Julius Jones knew what he was getting into, he made a choice. NFL players do participate in fundraisers like this, but it's normally not done for politicians. That's the shameful part.

"A dog rescue charity that has links to Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law, has spent almost $2m at Trump properties in the last seven years, according to US media reports.

While other companies and groups have distanced themselves from the Trumps since the 6 January attack on the capital, the Florida-based Big Dog Ranch Rescue is expected to spend another $225,000 at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago country club for an event this weekend, according to a permit filed with the town of Palm Beach, which was reported by HuffPost."...(more)

Melania was recently auctioning off a worthless NFT on her website that was scheduled to be a monthly issue (the first one didn't sell. It was an image of two eyeballs heavily made-up, presumably her own). A month later it was bought back by the seller.

Wonder if skimming off the top was planned like it was alleged to have happened with the inauguration funds?

Is there's some desperation to raise money here, or is it all just what a family of cons do while the name is still hot?

Everything that he does is embarrassing and janky. Yet he's viewed like a god in the eyes of the MAGAs.
