From the invitation. See a couple of items: First, this is for a joint fundraising committee that includes the RNC and various state parties. Second, note that a donor can 'designate a contribution for a specific participant or participants..."

In other words, this is Trump helping THEM raise money. A small percentage might go to him, but it doesn't necessarily (given the designation possibility). Trump's split doesn't look like it would do more than cover expenses of the get-together...$2700. Looks like it is intended for others when you look at the splits.
