Trump Puts US $70.000 Tariff to Take a Picture with Himself

United States President Donald Trump is called to charge up to 70,000 US dollars, for people who want to take pictures with him.

Trump also set a rate of 100,000 US dollars for those who want to attend a private dinner with the president.

But to be able to attend a joint dinner at the International Trump Hotel in Washington DC on Wednesday (12/09/2018) last night, the guests only collected a fee of 35,000 US dollars.

Although it seems very expensive, the funds raised will be used as campaign funds for the candidacy of President Trump in the election of 2020.

Launching from Metro.co.uk, the fundraising news was revealed through a Twitter account one of the Washington Post reporters in the White House, Josh Dawsey.

Dawsey uploaded an invitation to dinner with President Donald Trump which was held by the Chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) Ronna McDaniel and Chair of the National Finance, Todd Ricketts.

The event was held on Wednesday (12/09/2018), in Washington DC.

Although fundraising events for campaigns are often carried out, including by previous presidents, the nominal set in the Trump program is very large.

In 2016, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was also known to charge a minimum of 100,000 dollars for a fundraising dinner in Nebraska.

Former President Obama in 2012 also held a fundraising event with rates of up to 35,800 US dollars.

There have been no statements from the White House or President Trump regarding the invitation to raise funds.
