Hosted by John Paulson. (Who made his billions during the mortgage/housing crisis). These billionaires supporting him make me sick. Trump has floated giving Paulson a treasury job if he wins. These billionaires are bailing him out I fear.

From CNN:

The price tag for the fundraiser ranges from $250,000 per person for those who serve on the “host committee” to $814,600 per person to serve as a “chairman.” Perks for those contributing at the top level include dinner seating at Trump’s table, according to the invitation.
