There’s a cash bar at a Donald Trump election night party at the Hilton New York — and prices aren’t cheap.

Mixed drinks and wine are $13 each, imported beer is $11, domestic beer is $10, and soft drinks are a whopping $7. Dana Milbank, a syndicated columnist at the Washington Post, first shared a picture of the drink menu via Twitter:

According to the Tweet, Trump’s supporters are paying for the bar. The high prices were quickly mocked on Twitter.

An entire campaign based on "economic anxiety" and they're charging $10 for a beer? #populism
