I’m reasonably sure this is all true.
The question I would have is... isn’t this the way these politicians usually do this when they run for President ? Isn’t each one usually supported by a few MAJOR donors who plan to use the candidate to ‘rule the world’ ?
I think you can go all the way back to the mid 1800s and show both parties use the fatcat backers. I think Lincoln’s fatcats were the railway folks. You can take a guess on Hillary’s fatcats.
