On Nov. 29, the University of North Texas distributed a press release boasting that the “University of North Texas’ Kuehne Speaker Series has raised a record $332,000 as a result of its most recent event in October featuring Donald Trump Jr. at AT&T Stadium.”

What the press release did not note was Trump Jr.’s record expenses.

The eldest son of President Donald Trump, Trump Jr. required a speaker series record fee of $100,000, and, according to university records, hosting the Oct. 24 event at AT&T Stadium cost a series record $249,680.11, leaving a profit of $88,319.89.

Trump Jr.’s total price tag — including speaker fee, venue, catering and travel costs — exceeded by more than $100,000 the next highest-priced speaker, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani ($148,635.19).

1. Beware of Republicans doing math.

Somehow they always end up in negative numbers.
You'd think a University would have more of a clue.

2. the trump cult will believe him.

on twitter, on his own actual twitter feed, after he himself published the emails regarding the trump tower meeting, one of these brainwashed people commented "this is fake news."

smh

3. What kind of lunatic would pay money to hear either of these miscreants?

I wouldn't walk across the street to see them.

OK, maybe if they were on fire.

4. Well it is not like he took money from a children's cancer fund.

Oh, never mind.

5. Sounds like it was a fund raiser for Junior.

6. Grifter

$100,000 speaking fee for someone who has accomplished virtually nothing in his life.

Fuckity, fuck, fuck, fuck.

One more question: Did the audience wear their full robes with the hood or just the robe?

[Scarsdale]

7. If he can make

this kind of money, WHY are his lawyer fees paid from daddy's donors? I would not even waste my money to see this little dweeb marched out of tRump Tower in handcuffs. Hopefully, that will be soon?

8. Suckered by a trump. How pathetic.

You cannot trust republicans.

9. The Trump name comes with high costs. Beware.

10. Does Little Donnie Two-and-a-Half Scoops still get Secret Service protection?

If so, how much did that cost the taxpayers?

Did they report the size of the turnout?

DJTjr better make hay while the sun is shining. It's awful dark in the bowels of a federal prison.

11. Looks like he just taught them to be vindictive and how to demean other universities...

....While appearing at the UNT to raise money for scholarships, Trump Jr. eviscerated U.S. universities, saying, “Too often universities offer parents the following deal, ‘We’ll take $200,000 of your money, in exchange, we’ll train your children to hate our country and hate your religion. We’ll indoctrinate them and punish them if they disagree with us, we’ll hide them from new ideas, we’ll give them safe spaces and make the entire university an unsafe place.’ ”

He commended UNT and other Texas universities from not being part of the overall group he was describing, and twice even congratulated UNT on being a top party school. He said all those other universities outside of Texas won’t train their students “to find jobs when they graduate. We’ll do the opposite, make them unemployable by teaching them courses in zombie studies, underwater basket weaving and my personal favorite, tree climbing.”

In the buildup to Trump Jr.’s controversial appearance, 87 UNT faculty members signed an open letter denouncing Trump Jr. being invited to speak.
