I’m going to send Trump a donation right after I donate to the Freepathon. He’s going to need all of our help to pay for his general election campaign.
So what is Adelson getting in return for his $100,000,000?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Thank you, Onyx. I’ll get it done this weekend.
Adelson cares about US-Israel policies first and foremost. Anything else is of minor significance to him.
>> Trump criticized such arrangements during the primary <<
No longer operative. Air-brushed out of the historical record. Nothing to see here. Move along.
My wife knew this guy many years back when she worked in Rage in West Hollywood. He owned the bank next door and came into the (gay) bar all the time. Odd that he had a couple wives along the line.
“I dont expect Trump to shoulder this by himself.”
True. A few months back he was clear that he was self-funding only his primary campaign, but would need donations if/when in the general election.
Goofyhontas: Pretty great name!
DJT has made many statements about Europe and America, that Islam is a menace to both. Europe has received much larger Muslim terrorism recently and Trump’s positions reflect this. All this usually defaults into supporting Israel and in Trump’s case it does.

Donald Trump reacted to the explosions that rocked Brussels Tuesday morning, describing the scene as a “disaster” and warning that “this is just the beginning.”
The Republican front-runner, who has made immigration and security issues central to his 2016 presidential bid, discussed the reported suicide attacks in an interview on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.”
“I will tell you, I’ve been talking about this a long time, and look at Brussels,” Trump said. “Brussels was a beautiful city, a beautiful place with zero crime. And now it’s a disaster city. It’s a total disaster, and we have to be very careful in the United States, we have to be very careful and very vigilant as to who we allow in this country. “
Right and thanks very much!
So what. The Democrats support Iran so Adelson support Republicans. Sure beats enabling Iran the way John Kerry, Hussein O, Valerie Jarrette, The US State Department have. Trump never would have dropped Iranian sanctions and enabled their nuclear weapons program
When Trump talks that very straight forward way about Brussels Islamic terrorism it is easy to see what side he is on.
I would agree if the reason that he didn't take large donations before was that he didn't want to appear to be bought like other politicians. But, if he says now that he didn't previously take donations for some other reason, then most supporters will not feel that there has been any reversal. For example, he can say that he didn't take large contributions before because he didn't want people to think that he's running for president in order to make a profit from the campaign.
Trump said that he will raise money for the Republican party. He will self fund for his own personal campaign expenses.
