Desantis’ Top Donor Admits Accessing Chinese Markets Is Top Focus
National File ^ | 18 November 2022 | Paul Aubert

Ken Griffin, who is pushing for a Desantis presidential bid, has a history of fundraising for Biden and Obama.

Florida Governor Ron Desantis’ top donor has made some controversial comments concerning his relationship with China.

Ken Griffin, the billionaire CEO of Citadel, who funded $5 million towards Ron Desantis’ gubernatorial campaign and is vying for a Desantis 2024 presidential run, admitted his hedge fund is prioritizing China as its “center of focus.”

Griffin, who has countersignaled a Trump 2024 run, wants to “increase the size of our commitment” in China and supported CCP leader Xi Jinping for his economic leadership, saying it helped “re-accelerated China’s growth.”

Griffin described Trump as a “three-time loser” and hopes the 45th president of the United States will “see the writing on the wall” and give up his 2024 bid.

“I’d like to think that the Republican party is ready to move on from somebody who has been for this party a three-time loser,” Griffin stated, citing Trump’s 2020 loss and blaming Trump for the GOP leadership losing two Georgia Senate seats.

Despite the lack of a “red wave” in the Midterms, Griffin described the midterm results as “a great moment — American voters came out in droves. This was a triumph of democracy.”

“I’m quite happy about the midterms,” the billionaire added.

At this point I’d settle for just having FAIR elections, instead of election rigging.

WE no longer chose the victor, so the arguing is moot.

Bring back honest elections, then we can choose.

“Without exaggeration, they depicted Desantis as saint sent by God, a true life superhero.”

Part of God’s plan!

DeSantis was MAGA before Trump ran for POTUS.

That must be why Paul Ryan loves Ron DeSantis and has endorsed him for president. He was one of Ryan's three "favorites" along with hedge fund millionaire Glenn Youngkin and neocon shill Tim Scott.

Yesterday, Ron DeSantis, the chair of the House Oversight subcommittee on National Security, sent a letter to Paul Ryan requesting that Ryan direct the declassification and release of all documents associated with the Trump dossier. Ryan, as House Speaker, is an ex officio member of every House committee, and Rule X, which DeSantis references, allows the Speaker and the majority of any committee to declassify any and all documents.

What is going on here? DeSantis is leaving Congress to run for Florida governor. He’s a member of the Freedom Caucus. So one could hypothesize that he’s tossing Paul Ryan a stinkbomb on his way out. He could, conceivably, know that Ryan can’t declassify the documents because they are very sensitive but, at the same time, weaken Ryan with the GOP base by making it seem like he won’t.

His upbringing and life experiences molded him into our greatest conservative!

Sounds like the sort of thing Trump himself used to do prior to his run for President.

Typical of the nonsense from this source. People rightfully criticize CNN but then post things from sources like this that are just as dubious and loose with their facts and narratives.

You stated he supported Obiden.

How much did he give to Biden.

In 2018 he gave $1 million to TRUMP and $62 million to republican PACS.

That doesn’t sound like ‘America First”; that sounds like ‘China First’.

The guy was running for governor for the last number of months. Raising money too.

The dumb dumb dumb comment typifies some of the unhinged crowd surrounding Trump these days. You are doing untold damage to your candidate. He’ll never get to 270 thanks to folks like you.....

Griffin described Trump as a “three-time loser”

Quite a few FReepers agree with him on that point.
