Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump can add the support of two more billionaires to his recent whirlwind of momentum, one of which was shocked when a big donation he sent was returned by a Trump political action committee (PAC).
Andrew Beal and Thomas Barrack join Carl Icahn in the billionaire class supporting Trumps presidency. Beal, founder of Beal Bank in Dallas, once organized an attempted bankruptcy takeover of Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. with Icahn. Beal says Trumps outsider mystique, illustrated in a $100,000 donation returned to Beal by Trumps PAC, makes him different than the current crowd of lifetime politicians, report The Wall Street Journal.
There are no hard feelings, Beal told The Wall Street Journal. Hes smart and gets things done. I have never had a politician give me my money back.
He would adapt and come to logical conclusions thats my belief, Barrack told The Wall Street Journal. The rhetoric that seems harsh would dissipate.
Trumps billionaire supporters are exacerbated with Washingtons policies, which they argue are crippling business growth with burdensome taxes and out of control regulations. Beal says Trump would bring radical change to the government and will have the right priorities as a lifelong businessman. Icahn, who Trump floated as his secretary of the treasury, echos these sentiments, warning economic turmoil is ahead and Trumps business acumen and steady hand are what the U.S. economy needs.
There are no hard feelings, Beal told The Wall Street Journal. Hes smart and gets things done. I have never had a politician give me my money back.

What amnesty donor PAC $$ has CRuz accepted, towards his election?????
Cruz’s big donors are anti amnesty. Cruz is anti amnesty.
Trump is pro amnesty.
LOL....maybe in your dreams.
CRuz’s biggest donor (before all of the Jeb and Romeny influenced amnesty PAC $$ kicked in) is Robert Mercer.
Mercer has given $750,000 to the Club for (Mexico’s) Growth, $2 million to American Crossroads, and $2.5 million to Freedom Partners Action Fund. (COC)....some of the BIGGEST amnesty supporters out there.
To say that Trump is pro-amnesty completely disqualifies and discounts your posts.
LOL. You're entire post can be easily discounted.
Mercer funds Brietbart.com and the Heritage Foundation.
He thinks global warming is a hoax.
He thinks medicine in this country is being controlled by the "medical industrial complex".
He's published a book critical of Hillary Clinton.
He bank rolled a documentary about Ayn Rand (well nobody is perfert).
He's pro life, he's opposed to gay marriage and he hates establishment Republicans.
He donated to a pro death penalty campaign in Nebraska and he funded ads critical of the ground zero mosque in NYC.
He funds anti abortion groups and a Christian College.
He funds activist Fred Kelly Grant who travels the country encouraging legal challenges to environmental laws, which he says are part of a sinister plot by the United Nations to depopulate rural America.
He thinks the government monetary and banking system is too controlled by the federal government.
He financed the Jackson Hole Summit last year that advocates a real gold standard.
And he gave more than 10 million to a pro evangelical, pro energy, and anti illegal immigration Ted Cruz super Pac controlled by staunch anti immigration evangelical David Barton.
Yet, you think Robert Mercer is a bad guy. Why? Because that's the Trump mindset. Only Trump can be the good billionaire.
To say that Trump is pro-amnesty completely disqualifies and discounts your posts.
Pretty common knowledge by now. Even Trump doesn't deny it.
Heritage and Heritage action are headed up by CRuz BFF’s Jim Demint and Michael Needham and are completely in the tank for CRuz.
Needham has made it clear, since Trump announced, that he despises Trump.
I know that Mercer, at one time, help fund Brietbart, but it appears...lately....that relationship may have soured.
Mercer is Open Borders.
Trump’s Immigration policy does NOT call for amnesty.
Judge Jeanine Pirro is a national treasure...amazing woman.
Mercer is not open borders. I gave you numerous examples. I could also link you to coverage of local pro amnesty protests here in NY against Mercer in front of his office. The left and the open borders people here in NY hate him.
Trumps Immigration policy does NOT call for amnesty.
Think what you want. Trump was for no deportations and a legalization in-place amnesty up to the end of July 2015. Since then, he has mentioned deportations but he also mentions numerous times that he wants to "expedite" the good ones back.
And Trump doesn't deny it.
The Wilks family of Cisco, Texas, New York hedge fund tycoon Bob Mercer, Texas energy investor Toby Neugebauer and Illinois manufacturing moguls Dick and Liz Uihlein.
Pushing Path to Legal Status for ALL Illegals
Video's do not lie. Believe Your Lyin Eyes!
The internet has killed off the jobs of proofreader and editor.
Barrack is giving a tip of the hat to Master Dealer...
I caught that, too. “Exasperated” makes much more sense.
Thanks Durbin, I think he’s still a bum too. Always one someone else’s payroll and checkbook. Still not working.
Bumping the reality of those who love open borders!
