Canadian socialites have been trying to push philanthropist
Suzanne Rogers out of high society after she posted and
deleted several photos with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago last
weekend.
A Canadian insider told Page Six of the North of the Border
brouhaha: People in Canada hate him Its image suicide. Shes
become persona non grata. Shes a huge donor to [the Canadian
Arts & Fashion Awards] which is our version of the [Council of
Fashion Designers of America], and two people even resigned from
the board because of it.
She was disinvited from the awards, and she donates millions,
a Canadian insider told Page Six. Rogers had captioned one of
the photos with Trump, A special way to end the night!
The president of the CAFA event reportedly sent members a
message this week that said of the May 19 gala, CAFA has made
the decision to defer The Suzanne Rogers Designer Grant Award
and Suzanne Rogers will not be attending this years Gala.
Rogers issued an apology and tried to disassociate herself, and
her family, from Trump after the Canadian outrage.
I have always believed in equality, diversity, inclusiveness,
and respect for all, and I have worked to that end of all my
life. They are important in all aspects of society, especially
in fashion I do not have any kind of relationship with Donald
Trump, good or otherwise. I had never met him before that
night, she said.
Sources told us that the Rogers visit to Mar-a-Lago was not a
coincidence. Suzannes billionaire husband, Edward, owns the
countrys largest telecom company and the Blue Jays baseball
team.
A source said of the Palm Beach, Fla., visit: They were there
as his guests. Shes getting the bulk of the criticism because
shes more public than her husband, but the entire family was
there. They are in television, media, sports, fashion, all of it
and its a courtship. Trump is developing his multiplatform
network. It was not coincidental that they were there. Every
Canadian in Palm Beach is talking about it.
Reports have said that Trump is launching his own social media
platform. Trump senior adviser Jason Miller has tweeted of the
digital plan, Well have additional information coming on that
front in the very near future.
But a spokesperson for the Rogers family told us it was not true
that they were meeting because of Trumps new network. They
were there for a family dinner. No one in the family has ever
met him until a few seconds prior to departing while walking
out, the spokesperson said.
A rep for Trump did not comment.
