President Donald Trump swung through two fundraising parties in the Hamptons last weekend to drum up donations for his reelection campaign, according to the Southampton Press. After landing at Southampton High School, the first stop was a Southampton mansion owned by hedge fund manager John Paulson. Around 60 guests paid up to $250,000 a piece to attend. Trump spent about an hour there before heading to a Bridgehampton home owned by his son, Donald Trump Jr., where he met about 40 people. The tour was expected to raise around $15 million for Trump’s reelection campaign. [Southampton Press] —Dennis Lynch
