Donald Trump Jr. is preparing to launch an exclusive private club in Washington DC’s prestigious Georgetown neighborhood that will cost members up to $500,000 to join.
Some prospective members are even reportedly offering as much as $1 million for admission.
The club, named Executive Branch, represents a new gathering place specifically designed for Trump supporters and will explicitly exclude many of Washington’s established political elite, particularly those associated with former President George W. Bush’s administration.
The subterranean nightclub will be located behind Georgetown Park, accessible through a discreet entrance via stairs next to the mall’s parking garage.
The location choice reflects the founders’ intention to create an intimate, private environment for Trump-aligned political figures and business leaders.
Trump Jr. co-founded the venture alongside several prominent Trump administration figures and business leaders.
His co-founders include David Sacks, who serves as President Trump’s crypto czar, along with Zach and Alex Witkoff, sons of Trump’s Middle East envoy.
Additional founding members include Omeed Malik, who leads 1789 Capital, and Chris Buskirk, co-founder of the conservative donor group Rockbridge Network.
The club’s admission process involves strict vetting procedures that go far beyond financial capability, per reports.
Prospective members must personally know one of the club’s owners to even be considered for membership, creating an extremely limited pool of potential applicants.
Media members face automatic exclusion from the club, according to statements made by co-founder David Sacks.
This policy reflects the founders’ desire to create a space where political conversations can occur without journalistic scrutiny or public exposure.
Sacks explained the club’s philosophy during a recent podcast appearance, stating the reasoning behind their selective approach.
“To the extent there are Republican clubs, they tend to be more Bush-era Republicans as opposed to Trump-era Republicans,” he said.
The co-founder continued his explanation of the club’s mission, adding, “So we wanted to create something new, hipper and Trump-aligned.”
Bush-era Republicans specifically face exclusion from membership, according to reporting from the New York Times.
The club’s spokesman emphasized their selective approach when describing their membership criteria. “This is not just for any Saudi businessman,” the spokesman told the outlet, indicating that even wealthy international figures cannot simply buy their way into membership.
An insider familiar with Executive Branch’s operations provided additional details about the vetting process to CNBC.
“We don’t want members of the media or just a lot of lobbyists joining,” the source explained.
The same source elaborated on the club’s privacy-focused mission, stating, “We want people to feel comfortable having conversations in privacy.”
Current projections indicate the club will maintain fewer than 200 total members, ensuring an extremely exclusive environment.
The founding member roster includes several notable figures from business and politics.
The Daily Mail reported that among them are the Winklevoss twins, who gained fame through their legal battle with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg over the social media platform’s origins.
Other founding members include Jeff Miller, identified as a top Trump fundraiser, and venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya.
Executive Branch held its launch party last month, attracting an impressive array of Trump administration officials.
Attendees included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Additional government officials at the launch included Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Federal Communications Chairman Brendan Carr, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
Deputy FBI director Dan Bongino and Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, also attended.
The event also drew several technology industry leaders, including AppLovin CEO Adam Foroughi, according to CNBC reporting.
