Trump Jr's new members only club blacklists old-school Republicans

In the middle of a divided Washington, a new private club is quietly taking shape – but only the Trump-aligned elites need apply.

That’s according to the New York Times, which reported Monday that Executive Branch – owned by the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and a group of ultra-wealthy loyalists – is set to open in June. It promises to be a sanctuary for those who don’t see eye-to-eye with old-school Republicans.

“You have to know the owners,” a club spokesman told the Times from a private jet. “This is not just for any Saudi businessman.”

Speaking on his “All-In” podcast, White House crypto czar David Sacks, a founding member of Executive Branch, made clear “that the chosen ones are unlikely to include traditional Republicans who frequent decades-old Washington clubs.”

“To the extent there are Republican clubs, they tend to be like more Bush-era Republicans as opposed to Trump-era Republicans,” Sacks said, as reported by the Times. “So we wanted to create something new, hipper and Trump-aligned.”

He also emphasized a ban on members of the media, the publication added.

Executive Branch was described as “amazing and appalling” by sociologist Diana Kendall, who warned that the private members only club in Georgetown will allow Trump and his MAGA allies “to go behind the curtain” without scrutiny. She noted that it was of particular interest to “business and tech moguls, who really want access to the power of the throne,” according to the Times report.

“In addition to the president’s son, owners of the club include Zach and Alex Witkoff, the sons of Mr. Trump’s Middle East envoy; Omeed Malik, who leads 1789 Capital, where Donald Trump Jr., is a senior executive; and Chris Buskirk, a close ally of Vice President JD Vance who co-founded the Rockbridge Network, an influential conservative donor group,” the Times said.
