Matthew Steeples suggests readers reject Donald Trump’s desperate plugs for an opportunity to win dinner with his own very sorry self
In the past twenty-four hours I’ve received four messages begging me to buy my way in to being in with a chance of winning a dinner with Donald Trump on Tuesday 21st March in Washington, D.C.
In the series of email missives, ‘The Donald’s’ representative boast that the winner of this “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” will get to “attend the annual March dinner for FREE”. They list the benefits and amongst them are:
Two stories to keep beside you
Dine like a Lord
Peers’ Dining Room at the House of Lords to open to the public for the first time during the run-up to the General Election
How (not) to dine like Will and Kate
Vogue journalist Virginia van Zanten gets in a fluster over “how to dine like Will and Kate”
A trip to D.C.: FREE
A stay in TRUMP Hotel: FREE
A dinner with President Trump: PRICELESS
Though “making a contribution does not increase your chances of winning” nor likely your time getting to share “alternative facts” with Kellyanne Conway, entrants are urged to donate $10 to get one entry, $20 to get 4 entries, $50 to get 10 entries or $100 to get 50 entries. Whoever wins will be “President Trump’s guests of honor [sic] at the BIGGEST Republican event of the year”. Lucky them.
In London, a manager of a Chelsea restaurant, on hearing of the “opportunity” to share an over-cooked steak topped with ketchup with the 45th POTUS, remarked: “I’d rather go with one of the local tramps than dine with that old mutt”.
An embarrassed American, sat nearby, laughed and added: “I’d rather eat wasps, nails and paving stones”.
If you really do desire an evening with a lunatic, click here to be in with a chance to win dinner with Donald Trump.

I’d pay not to dine with this piece of excrement.
Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donald is MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and you’d turn down dinner with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need locking up!!!!!!!!!!!! Idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can the winner please ensure he gets food poisoning?
I’d pat him on the back and say well done for defeating Crooked Hillary and then I’d ask him to hurry up about draining the swamp and locking up Crooked Hillary.
Guest of Honour make speeches at such events. I’d like to be the winner and halfway through the speech be escorted out of the building. The Irish President got away with it. However what would happen if one of those Muslim people from a banned country happened to win? Would they fake the results to make sure it didn’t happen?
Give me the money instead.
Is it true this true blue American is shaking hands with the Russian mafia! Oh, my god, can it be true?!
