Miriam Adelson among the major GOP donors to back Trump after felony conviction
2024-06-02
[IsrelTimes] Israeli-American casino billionaire to reportedly help fund super PAC that she and her late husband Sheldon Adelson gave $90 million in 2020; Bill Ackman also weighing endorsement.
Even some who strongly dislike The Donald are emptying their wallets because he was screwed. Names reported include:
  • hotelier Robert Bigelow gave anadditional $5 million

  • Don Tapia, a former Trump ambassador to Jamaica, formed a network of family and friends who increased their give from $250,000 to $1 million

  • oil businessman Dan Eberhart
In the last few weeks, Trump has hit the fundraising trail hard, hosting high-end events from Texas to New York. He is due to host three fundraisers in California next month, according to invitations seen by Reuters, including one in left-wing San Francisco hosted by tech venture capitalist.

“Every event that I’m involved with is exceeding budget,” said George Glass, a Trump fundraiser and his former ambassador to Portugal. “Most donors feel like the ‘fix’ is in,” Glass said about legal proceedings against Trump.
