Point/Counterpoint: Trump's first 100 days a MAGA mess of authoritarian overreach

  • An event billed as an official celebration of President Trump's first 100 days was held on April 29, 2025, at the Top of the Town in Arlington, Virginia.
  • The event was promoted as featuring high-profile Republican guests and VIP experiences, but local Republican leaders and attendees claimed it was misleading and lacked official affiliation.
  • Attendees paid between $200 and $1,000 for tickets, with some like Katter alleging they were scammed and that promised perks such as red carpet access and notable guests were absent.
  • Matthew Hurtt, Arlington GOP chairman, condemned the event as a grift by unscrupulous organizers falsely claiming Republican ties, while organizer Alysia McMillan apologized for confusion but defended ticket sales as legal.
  • The controversy led to a Virginia police report filing, removal of event websites and social media, and raised concerns about protecting the Republican brand from deceptive political schemes.
