Stories like this are proof that we need to get over our child-like worship of billionaires. Money is no proof of intelligence.
It's a big pile of money that Trump/a Trump lackey doesn't directly control, of course he wants to strong-arm someone in to putting his loyalists in charge. Lest we forget... the head of the RNC is his daughter-in-law.
...Miriam Adelson, the **widow **of the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson...
Wait! Sheldon Adelson is dead!? happydance.gif
Boo hoo bitch
I just don't believe the story. Nobody in the world would be stunned if Trump treated them like crap, because he's done it to so many people that supported him over the years.
This irks me a bit too.
Once in a while, I see a short video clip of "Why I'm not voting for Trump this time". They give some good reasons - narcissism, brash rudeness, looking out for himself, etc. Of course, I salute people for having their moment of introspection. But what annoys me is, none of their reasons were less true in 2016 - and few of them ever really say they themselves changed in the intervening span.
Goalpost one is to stop supporting the guy. I'm glad for people that hit that. Goalpost two is to realize a reasonable person never should've supported him. Perhaps that's a lot for some people.
insert "leopards ate my face party" reference here.
Oh but surely those people had said something to get such an aggressive response or they weren't actual supporters in the first place, some were probably leftist moles, not me though, I support him, he will fix the US! /s
But she'll still support Trump no matter what. She's a hardcore Zionist and one of Israel's top donor. She needs Trump to achieve her goals.
If Trump and his Facist cronies gain power, they will eventually turn on the people who brought them into power.
It does not matter what you have done for him. You will never be on his side. He stands alone and will never take the needs of anyone else. Not his friends (as if he had any) not his backers or family or anyone other than himself
The Adelson family is horrible. Here’s an article about the patriarch who recently passed. Massive right-wing donor. Got deals from people like Newt Gingrich to shut down investigations into the gambling industry (where a bunch of Adelaon money came from), used far-right anti union operatives, like trump he deliberately stiffed contractors who worked on his business properties…just read the article. The Adelsons are scumbags.
Do not feel bad for the lady. She helped build this monster and was supporting it.
They’re also weird. Very weird.
And the guy who manipulated Trump into attacking her is Ike Perlmutter, not really better either haha
I don't get why anyone donates to parties out of goodwill, i assume it's a quid pro quo
I love seeing Trumpanzees turning on each other. They are some of the worst people on the planet. When they cause each other harm everyone else wins.
When they cause each other harm everyone else wins
For some reason, this really hit me. I generally don’t root for actual harm to befall someone. I just don’t think you can do that and call yourself a good person. That said, I do genuinely enjoy the schadenfreude in stories like this.
I'm the opposite. I don't think you can be a good person and not root for actual harm to befall Donald, or McConnell, or Clarence, or Elon, or etc. They're all sociopaths who are willing to burn the planet for money in a way that is beyond the reach of justice.
Trumpanzees! That's fucking awesome.
