This is interesting. Donald Trump doesn’t say here whether this dinner invitation includes Melania, only “your all-time favorite president.” So let’s assume that Melania decided to pass on this. And maybe it won’t happen in any event. If there is one thing Trump is famous for, it’s announcing all these great prizes and then nobody ever wins.

Put this on your calendar, June 13, the day before Trumpty turns 77. Those are lucky numbers, generally, but I don’t think this year is going to be a lucky one for him.

The Guardian did an article in 2019 positing the theory that nobody ever won these raffles of Trump’s.

“Supporters are enticed to donate to Trump’s campaign with promises of free travel, accommodations, and an ‘epic’ meal with Trump at various locations across the country,” the site said. “An investigation by Popular Information, however, did not uncover evidence that anyone has ever actually won.”

A second post by Popular Information identified a prize of breakfast with Trump in New York, advertised in hundreds of Facebook ads, as fraudulent. It noted that while Joanna Kamis was invited to a breakfast event in the city, Trump did not attend any meal with her and only took a photo with her later.

Painter, now a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School, said: “You’ve got to have the lunch or dinner. People pay money to enter it and you’ve got an obligation to do what you say you’re going to do.

“If you did this is any other context, and you don’t have a winner, it would be fraud and you get sent to jail for that. You can’t just lie to people. We’ve had fake lotteries in the past and it’s illegal.”

We’ll see if he announces a winner for this. I’ve got it calendared.

  1. I think Republicans in general commit wire/mail fraud all day every day. I don’t think even an army of prosecutors could have trials on all of Trump’s crimes before he dies of natural causes.

  2. *Donald Trump doesn’t say here whether this dinner invitation includes Melania, only “your all-time favorite president.”*

    Gee, I could have dinner with Obama?

    • Melania would only be a second appetite killing freak to sit down at the dinner table with. I too would rather have dinner with Obama. However, great as that would be and limiting the choices to Presidents during my lifetime I’d love to sit down for a simple meal with Jimmy Carter.

    • Wouldn’t that be hysterical if Trump got a lot of entries saying, “Thank you for hosting a dinner with Obama at Mar-a-Lago. I hope I win the honor of dining with my ‘all time favorite president.'”

  3. Why would anyone think that having dinner with the biggest loser and most prolific liar in the history of the world could possibly be a “winning” proposition?

  4. Since when is a 300 lb bag of sh*t a door prize? Uh…what’s the prize for runner-up? Even better, what’s the prize for ignoring his cheap grift? Answer: more peace of mind. I’ll take it.
