Attendees, with white-and-red gift bags and lanyards, knew to be closelipped when approached by hotel interlopers
or by the Times reporter, who was not invited to the closed-press festivities.

But a copy of the agenda listed remarks by several tech billionaires, including the Anduril co-founder #Palmer #Luckey and the venture capitalist #Marc #Andreessen, who spoke about his support for deregulating technology
and the mixed reaction in Silicon Valley to his endorsement of Mr. Trump, according to attendees.

There were tech up-and-comers, too:
Donald Trump #Jr. announced at the welcome dinner that he was entering venture capital.

And days before the president-elect chose Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. for health and human services secretary,
Mr. Kennedy spoke extensively about his public-health work to a standing ovation.

Ms. #Wiles also led a session on “2024 Election Analysis,” where she gave a preview of Mr. Trump’s first days as president.

“It’s the domestic ‘Davos in the desert,’” said the Rockbridge backer #Omeed #Malik, referring to the annual business conference in Riyadh, and Donald Trump Jr.’s new business partner.

➡️Rockbridge began with more humility.

Back in 2019, Mr. #Vance, then best known as the author of “Hilbilly Elegy,” and a conservative media figure named #Chris #Buskirk began informally hosting a series of small dinners
that would eventually become called Rockbridge.

The group drew early support from the venture capitalist #Peter #Thiel and eventually caught the attention of Donald J. Trump, who spoke at a few meetings.

Once in the fall and once in the spring, Rockbridge began to gather at places like the Four Seasons in Palm Beach, Fla.,
or the Ritz-Carlton in Dallas for three days of political panels and business networking.

Speakers included people like #Tucker #Carlson; the Thiel protégé #Blake #Masters; the casino mogul #Steve #Wynn; the investor #David #Sacks; and #Woody #Johnson, the billionaire owner of the New York Jets.

Not all attendees have politics at the top of their mind.

Some are primarily interested in business, seeing Rockbridge as a conservative-tinged version of the elite Sun Valley conference.

During this year's Republican primaries, Nelson Peltz gave $100,000 to a super pac supporting Tim Scott,
the South Carolina senator,
but Scott dropped out before a single G.O.P. vote was cast.

By the time of Peltz’s dinner, it was clear that Trump would secure the Republican nomination for an unprecedented third consecutive election.

Peltz, who was no longer on speaking terms with the ex-President, opened the discussion with a blunt assessment of the race.

🔥“I don’t like Donald Trump,” an attendee recalled Peltz saying.

“He’s a terrible human being, but our country’s in a bad place, and we can’t afford Joe Biden.”

So, Peltz concluded, however much they might dislike it, ❌“we’ve all got to throw our support behind him.”

Some of Peltz’s guests remained skeptical,
holding to the view, as the attendee put it, that
“Trump’s a terrible person
—I’m going to focus on the Senate.”

Most of the donors, however, adopted a more pragmatic approach to the ex-President.

Many of them had been granted significant access to the White House during his four years in office.

Some were expected to be considered for senior roles in a second term:

Trump has personally floated the name of the hedge-fund tycoon #John #Paulson, for instance, as a potential Secretary of the Treasury, touting him as
💥“a money machine.”

“They know how transactional he is,” the attendee told me.

“They’re hoping to have some influence over the course of appointments and therefore the direction of his Administration.”

A few of Peltz’s guests were all in.
#Steve #Wynn, the Las Vegas gambling titan, has known Trump for decades;

his wife, #Andrea #Hissom, is close to the former First Lady, Melania, and the two couples have spent time together in Palm Beach.

And then there was #Elon #Musk, the world’s richest man, who had reportedly got to know Peltz through Peltz’s son #Diesel, a tech entrepreneur.

At the time, Musk had said that he would NOT back a candidate in the Presidential race.

♦️By the fall, he would enthusiastically endorse Trump, spending $75 million to support him through a new super pac,
-- and spreading pro-Trump lies and conspiracy theories on his social-media platform, X.

Trump, the richest man ever to serve in the White House, is himself a billionaire,
though the extent of his wealth has long been in question.

(As of mid-October, with stock in Trump’s social-media venture, Truth Social, experiencing a pre-election bounce, Forbes estimated his net worth at about $5.5 billion.)

In 2016, Trump hardly bothered to court big donors.

He was shunned by much of the G.O.P. élite and largely self-funded his Republican primary campaign.

He lambasted Jeb Bush, the brother and son of Presidents, as a tool of the moneyed class.

👉“Super pacs are a disaster,” Trump said in a 2016 debate.
“They’re a scam. They cause dishonesty.
And you’d better get rid of them, because they are causing a lot of bad decisions to be made by some very good people.”

⚠️But in 2020, as an incumbent President, Trump embraced super pacs and their funders.

The two main super pacs supporting his campaign raised
💥$255 million on his behalf that year;

his total fund-raising came to more than
💥 $1 billion.

However, Biden, like Hillary Clinton four years earlier, raised even more than Trump,
bringing over-all spending in the 2020 Presidential race to a record🔥 $5.7 billion.

Donald Trump’s foul-mouthed migrant rant captured in private pitch to donors

Donald Trump unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade about undocumented #immigrants and predicted that this “could be the #last #election we ever have”
if Kamala Harris wins during a private fundraising dinner this summer.

The Guardian obtained a 12-minute recording of a speech that the Republican presidential nominee gave at a dinner on 10 August in Aspen, Colorado,
👉 where attendees were required to donate anywhere from $25,000 to $500,000 a couple.

Trump devoted most of his address to #border security and #immigration, recycling xenophobic claims now familiar from his rallies.

“Radical leftwing lunatics” want people to come in from #prisons, mental institutionsand insane #asylums, he asserted without evidence, adding that the US was harbouring “a record number of #terrorists”.

The former president insisted that “smart, very streetwise” leaders of Venezuela and other South American countries were sending murderers and drug dealers to the US to reduce their own crime rates, relieve the burden on their prisons and save money.

Trump cited a false example of 22 people he claimed had come to the US after being released from prison in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. -- “We said, ‘Where do you come from?’ They said, ‘Prison’.
-- ‘What did you do?’ ‘None of your fucking business what we did.’ You know why? Because they’re murderers.”

The candidate added, “I hate to use that foul language”, apparently recognising that his use of the F-word went further than his campaign rallies. -- The Congolese government has said there is no truth to Trump’s statements.

The candidate went on: “These are the toughest people. These people are coming in from Africa, from the Middle East. They’re coming in from all parts of Asia, the bad parts, the parts where they’re rough, and the only thing good is they make our criminals look extremely nice. They make our Hell’s Angels look like the nicest people on earth.”

Studies show that immigrants are less likely to commit crime than native-born Americans.

Trump flew to Aspen on a Gulfstream G-550 jet once owned by #Jeffrey #Epstein, the late disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, after his own private plane – a Boeing 757 known colloquially as Trump Force One – encountered engine trouble.

The dinner was held at the $38m home of the investors and art collectors ♦️John and Amy #Phelan.
Guests included the casino mogul Steve #Wynn, billionaire businessman Thomas #Peterffy, Texas governor Greg #Abbott, Florida congressman Byron #Donalds, Colorado congresswoman Lauren #Boebert and former Colorado senator Cory #Gardner.

Trump, who instigated an attempted coup on 6 January 2021 and has claimed that his Democratic rival Harris poses the true threat to democracy, used the exclusive event to warn of dire consequences if she becomes president.

“Look, we gotta win and if we don’t win this country’s going to hell,” he said.
“You know, there’s an expression, this could be the last election we ever have and it’s an expression that I really believe, and I believe that this could be the last election we ever have.”

‘October 7 was a turning point’: Trump’s pro-Israel fundraising accelerates

ALMOST AS SOON AS PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN announced he would halt a weapons shipment to Israel, Steve #Witkoff’s iPhone started buzzing.

“Every one of my friends started calling and asking, ‘What can I do for Donald Trump?’” Witkoff, a pro-Israel donor and fundraiser for Trump’s presidential campaign, told The Bulwark.

Last month the New York Times reported on a dinner Donald Trump had with a small group of donors,
-- including large backers of his 2016 campaign, Robert #Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer.

Other attendees included entrepreneur Omeed #Malik, cosmetics firm founder Trish #McEvoy and real estate billionaire Richard #Kurtz.

In April the Mercers and Malik were among a few dozen co-chairs of a Trump fundraising dinner hosted by John #Paulson, along with other notable co-chairs including Wilbur #Ross, Steve #Wynn, Howard #Lutnick, Robert #Wood, Kelly #Loeffler, Kenny #Troutt and Linda #McMahon – who is also a board director of Trump Media which owns Truth Social.

The Trump campaign claimed it raised over $50 million at the event.

Local board protected us from getting rail-roaded where developers get green lights all the way. Three huge casinos planned for my 'hood: 41st/11th, Times Square, Hudson Yards. They promise huge cash flows ($2B!!!) but NY state's four existing casinos *from 2017 to 2022* brought in only $176M in tax revenues.
