Donald Trump Jr. establishes exclusive private club under the name Executive Branch, requiring a membership fee of $500,000.

Alright, let's dive into the high-priced, ultra-exclusive club circling Washington D.C., affectionately dubbed the Executive Branch. This baby's a brainchild of Donald Trump Jr., conservative big-shot Omeed Malik, and other investors from 1789 Capital[1][2][4]. It's setting up shop in the fancy Georgetown neighborhood, ready to welcome members who can cough up a cool half-million dollars for the annual membership fee[4][5].

You wanna join? Buckle up! You'll need a solid referral and a close screening, with some eager aspiring members offering double the price to jump the queue[3][4][5]. With this kind of exclusivity comes high-profile connections: Dinners with cabinet members like Secretary of State Marco Rubio, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, and Attorney General Pam Bondi were on the menu at the launch party[4][5].

The Executive Branch aspires to become as much a hub for powerful networking as the Trump International Hotel was under the first Trump administration[4][5]. But unlike its predecessor, which was a magnet for ethics-related criticism, the Executive Branch is emphasizing privacy and keeping journalists and lobbyists at bay[4].

So, if you're a wealthy CEO, tech titan, or Trump-friendly policymaker looking for a secluded, high-society hangout, the Executive Branch might just be your new favorite spot[5]. Just remember, you'll be joining an elite club built on late-19th-century corporate-political alliances, creating opportunities for those seeking proximity to power without worrying about media scrutiny[5].

Stay classy, Washington.
