The president is attending a big-ticket Hamptons fundraiser hosted by billionaire businessman Stephen Ross, whose portfolio includes the fitness companies.
President Donald Trump spent part of his Friday shaking hands with wealthy Republican donors at a series of big-ticket fundraisers in the Hamptons. His schedule always falls into focus of the day's news cycle but one of those appearances has kicked his host — billionaire businessman Stephen Ross — into the spotlight and incited a wave of boycotts aimed at companies in Ross's portfolio, Soul Cycle and Equinox.
On the invite for a second event — held at the Bridgehampton estate of Joe Farrell, which is known to locals as the Sandbox — were McDaniel, Hicks, Ricketts, Parscale, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, Congressman Lee Zeldin, Kimberly Guilfoyle and the president's son, Donald Trump Jr. A source adds that Farrell was hosting another event though its unclear who was expected at that event, though more than 500 people were expected to pass through his doors on Friday.
In Los Angeles, LGBTQ activists Gonzalo Garcia and Adam G. Bass organized a protest outside a West Hollywood Equinox on Sunset Boulevard that is scheduled to start today at 4 p.m. "Let's send a message loud and clear, we can not support companies who are trying to re-elect a racist, misogynistic, trans-phobic, homophobic, anti-immigrant and all around bigot," per the event's official Facebook invite. Close to 100 people are expected to attend that event.
