If Trump did not donate to liberals doing most of his business in blue states, he would have business failures galore. Actually he donated equally to both parties.
Trump never was an elected republican or a conservative radio host like Limbaugh, or a conservative blogger like Breitbart. So he donated to whichever politician to shield his businesses from attacks.
This is so basic, I do not know why I bother explaining.
Uh huh...
“Trump came out as an aggressive conservative in 2011 as he teased a White House run in 2012. His direct attacks against President Obama attracted many conservatives, including tea party supporters. But Trump’s public statements masked his long history of supporting Democrats and holding liberal positions. It emerged that Trump had donated to the political campaigns of Hillary Clinton, New York U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, Nevada U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, and California U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

It also recently came to light that Trump donated $100,000 to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. In typcial Trump fashion, he defended the contribution, saying that the Clintons “kissed [his] ass” for the money.
During his announcement speech on Tuesday, Trump slammed President Obama while also attacking many of the candidates in the GOP field, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Notably absent from Trump’s speech was any mention of Clinton.

You invite your friends to your wedding.
“Clinton had a front-pew seat at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach for the wedding on Jan. 22, 2005. People magazine said that the 450-person guest list included former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and media and entertainment personalities like Katie Couric, Matt Lauer, Simon Cowell, Regis Philbin, Kelly Ripa, Star Jones and Barbara Walters.
The fun really started after the ceremony in the ballrom at Trump’s own Mar-a-Lago Club resort in Palm Beach. Bill Clinton showed up in time for a party that included performances by Billy Joel, Paul Anka and Tony Bennett. The reception also featured a 200-pound, 5-foot-tall wedding cake.”

You could explain your gullibility?
So when he enacts all this liberal legislation it will be ‘to shield his businesses from attack’
Hmmm
“There is an Ivy League grad who has spent most of his life in Manhattan, where he is chauffeured around in limousines. He frequently brags to strangers about his massive personal wealth. In public statements, he has advocated government healthcare, a woman’s right to an abortion, an assault weapons ban, and paying off the national debt by forcing rich people to forfeit 14.25 percent of their total wealth. When the man married his third wife, he invited Bill and Hillary Clinton to the wedding, and he has given many thousands to their political campaigns and their foundation. He’s donated many thousands more that helped elect Democrats to the Senate and the House. And George W. Bush was “maybe the worst president in the history of this country,” the man said in 2008. “He was so incompetent, so bad, so evil.”
So he helped keep Dirty Harry in power. At a time when a little help would have had him sitting by a pool sipping Mohitas.
“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has received the fourth-largest amount of Trump’s contributions, including $4,800 in the successful 2010 campaign against Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle. In total Trump has contributed $10,400 to Reid.”
Oh yes, that sounds like a conservative to me.... NOT.
At best he is a Rhino!
That certainly wasn’t for business protection !
