We don’t have a democracy, we have a banana republic.

Can’t blame him. Republicans don’t play to win. Just look at the Jim Jordan speaker vote. He. shouda saved his $20 million.

Thiel co-founder of PayPal

I had a Paypal account for 20 years. Closed it when I learned that they were refusing to pay conservative causes.

Months later, word got back to Thiel that Trump had called Masters to discourage him from running for Senate again, and had called Thiel a “fucking scumbag.”

Trump needs to put guardrails on his utterances. He can be his own worse enemy.

It's somewhat surprising, because in his Real Estate days in NYC, he was described and very pleasant and a very gracious person.
