Adelson, who dropped put of college and went on to amass a $28billion fortune from the hotel, newspaper and gambling industries, said Trump 'won fair and square'.

Since Trump won’t take his money, Shelley has exactly as much influence as you or me.

Trump puts his right sock on first, then reverses that order to put on his shoes.

There's enough reason to oppose him.

Snowflake Freepers.

Give it a rest.

He has too , only Ross Perot had enough money to self fund in 1992 as at that time he was one of the 5th richest men in the Country and had cash as he sold his company for cash just recently to GM

Estimates run up to 4.5 Billion this election cycle

Trump Picks Former Goldman Partner And Soros Employee As Finance Chairman

Billionaire casino magnate and key Republican donor Sheldon Adelson backs Donald Trump

You put these two headlines together and what do you get?

It seems that Trump did not pick this person to head his fiancé position....this is an attempted takeover by the Kock brothers and others to ruin Trump’s campaign...

Adelson said when Trump was running in Nevada he wasn’t going to back Trump, he didn’t know who it would be...Adelson is a casino owner, backer...

This Steven guy who was announced to head Trump’s financial operations isn’t even mentioned on anyone’s radar...The Trump Team is now looking into this as it apparently came from within...
