Donald Trump charging couples $100K to have lunch with him …

The former president is allegedly charging $100,000 per couple to attend a private luncheon where Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is listed as chairman at an undisclosed location prior to the event, according to Jeremy Wallace of the Houston Chronicle.

The luncheon will then be followed by a reception at Lake Conroe where couples are required to pay $5,000 to attend, and up to $50,000 to participate in a round-table discussion and photo opportunity with the former president, Wallace reports. One of the co-hosts for that event is Attorney General Ken Paxton.

The funds will reportedly go toward Trump's MAGA Again! political action committee, which supports Trump-endorsed candidates across the country. These include Texas GOP candidates Abbott, Patrick, Paxton and several members of Congress scheduled to join him at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds Saturday.

The event opens at 2 p.m., and Trump is scheduled to deliver remarks at 7 p.m. The occasion marks the first official "MAGA" rally of 2022 in the state and his second large speaking engagement in Texasthis month. The former president hasn't held one of his traditional rallies in Texas since 2019 in Dallas.

Trump says his event Saturday will feature a large crowd, saying his engagements have drawn audiences that "are bigger than ever before."

"Looking forward to seeing everyone in Conroe, Texas," Trump said in a statement Thursday. "Will be big!"
