Washington, D.C.’s elite just got a reality check. Donald Trump Jr.’s new nightclub, Executive Branch, is set to open next month in Georgetown, promising a haven for MAGA loyalists while slamming the door on media and Bush-era Republicans, as the Daily Mail reports. This isn’t your grandfather’s country club -- it’s a bold, unapologetic middle finger to the establishment.
The Executive Branch, tucked in a subterranean space behind Georgetown Park, is a members-only club for the MAGA faithful. It requires a jaw-dropping $500,000 membership fee, with some reportedly eager to pay up to $1 million. Only those personally connected to the founders get a shot at joining.
The club’s co-founders include Trump Jr., crypto czar David Sacks, Zach and Alex Witkoff, Omeed Malik, and Chris Buskirk. “This is not just for any Saudi businessman,” a club spokesman told the New York Times, signaling a tight grip on who will be allowed in. Clearly, they’re not rolling out the red carpet for just anyone with a fat wallet.
Entry to the Executive Branch demands more than money -- it requires ideological purity. Prospective members face heavy vetting by the founders, ensuring only the most devoted Trump supporters make the cut. With fewer than 200 members expected, this is exclusivity dialed to eleven.
Sacks, a club co-founder, laid it bare on his podcast: “Republican clubs tend to be more Bush-era Republicans as opposed to Trump-era Republicans.” He’s not wrong -- traditional GOP haunts reek of outdated neoconservatism. Executive Branch aims to be “new, hipper, and Trump-aligned,” as Sacks put it, leaving the old guard in the dust.
The club’s launch party last month was a who’s-who of Trump’s inner circle. Attendees included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, alongside tech titans like AppLovin CEO Adam Foroughi. Even President Donald Trump himself might drop by, adding star power to the already glittering guest list.
Don’t expect to see CNN anchors or K Street lobbyists sipping cocktails here. “We don’t want members of the media or just a lot of lobbyists joining,” an insider told CNBC. The goal is a space where MAGA elites can speak freely without fear of leaks or spin.
The same insider emphasized privacy: “We want people to feel comfortable having conversations in private.” In a city where every word is weaponized, that’s a rare commodity. The Executive Branch is betting its members will pay top dollar for it.
Founding members include heavy hitters like the Winklevoss twins, top Trump fundraiser Jeff Miller, and venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya. This isn’t just a club -- it’s a power network for the MAGA movement’s elite. The Bush-era Republicans clutching their pearls are, predictably, not invited.
The Executive Branch’s location, hidden behind Georgetown Park’s parking garage, adds to its mystique. Accessible only by a discreet staircase, it’s practically a secret society for the Trump faithful. In woke-obsessed D.C., this is a deliberate pushback against the swamp’s status quo.
The Trump International Hotel, once a magnet for world leaders during Trump’s first term, faced endless ethics complaints from the left. Sold in 2022, it’s no longer the go-to spot for power players. The Executive Branch is poised to fill that void, but with a sharper ideological edge.
Unlike the hotel, which welcomed a broader swath of elites, this club is unapologetically selective. It’s not just about keeping out the media -- it’s about curating a space where Trump’s vision reigns supreme. The left will no doubt cry foul, but actions have consequences.
The club’s $500,000 price tag isn’t just about exclusivity -- it’s a statement. In a city overrun by progressive dogma, the Executive Branch is a fortress for those who reject the woke narrative. It’s a place where loyalty to Trump’s America First agenda trumps all else.
With figures like Dan Bongino and Mehmet Oz already tied to the club, it’s clear this isn’t just a social spot -- it’s a political machine. The guest list reads like a Trump administration reunion, minus the RINOs.
The message is clear: this is MAGA’s turf now. Executive Branch isn’t just a nightclub -- it’s a declaration that the old GOP is dead, and Trump’s vision is here to stay. For those locked out, the lesson is simple: adapt or be left behind.
