I am not a tax accountant or lawyer, but it is my understanding that donations such as this are treated the same way as donations to political campaigns. That is, they are NOT tax deductible. As you point out, Roodles is not a charitable organization.Kendra wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 9:26 pmDoes anyone know how these donors account for these *donations*? It doesn't sound like Roodles is a non-profit-whatever-it's called. Are these peeps making these donations free and clear and no worries about tax deductions? Do payments to Roodles have tax implications? Questions, questions...
It's $100,000 per plate not $100...noblepa wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 10:07 pm![]()
As for the price of admission, $100, if Guiliani sees $30 of that, I would be surprised. I can't imagine that a dinner at Mar-a-lago is less than $50-60 per person. That said, it doesn't seem like it is worth Rudy's while. How many people can we expect to attend? 250, 300? How big is the ballroom? 300 attendees x $100 is only $30,000. Let's be generous and assume that Rudy gets half of that. $15,000 isn't going to put much of a dent in his legal fees. Even if 500 people show up, Rudy only stands to get about $25,000. What is that, about a week's billable hours for his lawyers?

Gasp! He has FAR too much respect for the President to ever use that!
He could pulling a Peter Navarro and just think "Screw you, you ain't the boss of me" is sound strategy, even if just pleading the fifth or answering wouldn't even hurt you.
I figure he'll charge $100k for the room, another $100k catering, his sons and their wives are speaking at $60k each, Donnie will probably charge $1 million Appearance fee, valet parking, special security fees and a "service charge" the likes of which will make Ticketmaster melt in admiration and envy.keith wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 8:37 pmDon't forget tfg's appearance fee.Kendra wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 8:02 pmYeah.

And the fund accounting fees.
And the hookers and blow.
Or if it overlooks a golf course. Who wouldn't find some clubs and pay an enhanced green fee to know that Trump was watching their flailing and thrashing through window bars?
I would pay that. And I’ve never played golf in my life. And never wanted to. I find it offensive in a way that George Carlin much better explains. But I would pay any exorbitant greens fee to play through staring at tfg’s occupied cell. And a nice bottle of Champagne! And I would buy the merch. Basically, I’m in favor of this idea.
