But some members are furious that the club is moving forward with the plan to honor Trump, according to two sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Those members were angered and disgusted by Trump's role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and his treatment of racial and ethnic minorities, according to a club member who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid retribution from fellow members.
