Awkward Moment Vivek Ramaswamy Suggests His Pocketbook Is Closed to Trump Campaign
Daily Beast via Yahoo News ^ | March 6, 2024 | William Vaillancourt

Biotech entrepreneur and former 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy didn’t seem too interested Wednesday in helping out Donald Trump’s campaign by writing a check...

On Fox News’ Your World, anchor Neil Cavuto mentioned during his interview with Ramaswamy that Trump reportedly met with billionaire Elon Musk and other GOP donors this weekend—just as his campaign faces a cash crunch.

“You’re a very successful businessman—a biotech entrepreneur—and you’ve made hundreds of millions of dollars. We’re told that Donald Trump has asked Elon Musk for some support. I don’t know if that’s true or not. Elon Musk made it clear that he’s not giving to either Joe Biden or Donald Trump,” Cavuto said. “I’m just wondering, if he were to go to you and say, ‘All right, can you loan my campaign some money?’ What would you say?”

Ramaswamy insisted that Trump is actually doing just fine.

“So look, Donald Trump is not in need of anybody else’s help or anything else. He’s in the poll position to do this well,” he claimed.

Cavuto shot back: “He does need money, Vivek. Every campaign needs money.”

...

Ramaswamy then suggested Trump will be fine as long as his grassroots supporters continue to open their pocketbooks.

“The beauty of this is you have grassroots supporters,” he argued.

...

When Cavuto followed up about whether Ramaswamy himself would lend a financial hand, the former candidate’s response seemed to indicate that that’s not his plan.

“I’m going to be a vocal supporter, Neil,” he said. “And, you know, each of us has a lot of businessmen on the sidelines. I’m focused on the front lines, and some of us have chosen to get in the arena, and that’s where I’m playing.”

“Got it,” Cavuto replied.

Ramaswammy is all talk but not a penny for Trump's campaign. As Cavuto says, "Got it."

And that validates or invalidates Ramaswammy’s refusal to financially aid Trump how?

We’ll see. He’s of his own mind. He can use his money in many different ways that can help without having to give to the party or campaign or established PACs. Or not. But I hope he does.

Yeah! He and his ilk gave us Biden and his ilk. I wonder if Cavuto has seen the light?

He was being used by the Dick Cavuto and he wasn’t playing along, in my opinion. Why would he?

He got paid by the Soros Foundation. This is already proven.

This is not a surprise.

If he donates a big sum to Trump or even loans him money, or both, he is not going to say it publicly. Also I missed the part where he actually stated he hasn’t donated to the Trump campaign. Did you hear him say that ?

Forget this Never Trumper/Daily Beast BS.

Every time Vivek does a two minute segment on a national TV show it’s worth a half million dollar donation to Trump.

No matter how much garbage you post about Trump, he’s going to be the nominee, and your trash doesn’t sway anyone away from him.

The point here was not Trump but the fact that uber fan boy Ramaswammy won’t don’t money to help Trump. What do you think about that? Billionare fanboy won’t put money to his words.

Neil Cavuto is like being interviewed by a CNN reporter.

This man is a complete and total fraud, from top to bottom. The sooner Trump distances himself from this con man
The better
