In the heart of a politically fractured Washington, a new private club catering exclusively to Trump loyalists is set to open its doors in June, aiming to reshape the city’s traditional corridors of conservative influence. According to a Monday report by The New York Times, the club, named Executive Branch, is co-owned by Donald Trump Jr., the former president’s eldest son, alongside a cohort of ultra-wealthy allies.
The club brands itself as a sanctuary for a newer, more populist brand of conservatism, unapologetically aligned with Donald Trump’s political movement. “You have to know the owners,” a club spokesman told the Times from aboard a private jet. “This is not just for any Saudi businessman.”

The club, which will be based in Georgetown, Washington’s elite neighborhood, aims to distinguish itself from the legacy establishments frequented by older generations of GOP insiders. The founding members appear keen to distance themselves from the traditional Republican establishment, especially the Bush-era conservatives who have dominated D.C. club culture for decades.
“To the extent there are Republican clubs, they tend to be like more Bush-era Republicans as opposed to Trump-era Republicans,” said David Sacks, White House crypto czar and a founding member of Executive Branch, speaking on his “All-In” podcast. “So we wanted to create something new, hipper, and Trump-aligned.”
The club also plans to bar members of the press, emphasizing exclusivity and privacy for its politically connected patrons. The initiative has sparked both fascination and criticism. Sociologist Diana Kendall described the Executive Branch as both “amazing and appalling,” warning that the private club offers a space for Trump’s allies to “go behind the curtain” away from public accountability.
“It’s of particular interest to business and tech moguls, who really want access to the power of the throne,” she told the Times. In addition to Donald Trump Jr., the ownership roster includes Zach and Alex Witkoff, sons of Trump’s former Middle East envoy; Omeed Malik, the head of 1789 Capital, where Trump Jr. also serves as a senior executive; and Chris Buskirk, a close associate of Vice President JD Vance and co-founder of the Rockbridge Network, a conservative donor network.
The Executive Branch appears poised to become a key social hub for MAGA elites, further cementing the ideological divide in conservative politics—and signaling that the Trump era’s influence in Washington is far from over.
