Donald Trump, the businessman, reality TV mogul and detractor of President Barack Obama, will be the keynote speaker at the Oakland County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner fundraiser this spring.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to share my thoughts and views with the Oakland County Republican Party and the great state of Michigan," Trump said in a release. "As the oldest, largest and one of the most influential Lincoln Day Dinners in the country, I could not have been more pleased to receive this invitation."
The dinner will be held May 21 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi. Tickets to the dinner, which is the Oakland County GOP's primary fundraiser, cost from $75 to $750 for an individual ticket and up to $5,000 for a table of 10.
"We are thrilled to have Mr. Trump headline this year's event," David Trott, chairman of the Lincoln Day Dinner, said in the release. "The Lincoln Day Dinner is a tradition Oakland County has celebrated for 124 years, and it is only fitting that our keynote address is delivered by one of the most celebrated and recognizable entrepreneurs and philanthropists in the world."
A real estate developer, Trump gained additional fame as the star of "The Apprentice" TV show. During the last election cycle, Trump considered a run for president and later became one of the biggest proponents of the "birther" movement, questioning whether Obama was born in the U.S.
