The billionaire Tom Steyer, an environmental activist, said he won't quantify how much he is willing to spend to combat Donald Trump's presidency.
If you ask me can I put a limit on how much I value the health, the safety, the employment and the civil liberties of Americans, theres no limit to what I think thats worth, Steyer told Bloomberg in an interview. Steyer, a Democrat who spent at least $87 million on the 2016 presidential election, was the biggest individual political donor in the race. According to Bloomberg, Steyer routes most of his money through the NextGen Climate Action Committee, a Super PAC he helped create in 2012 in an effort to devote himself to conservation. During the 2016 election, Steyer funded several anti-Trump ads through NextGen Climate.
Steyer wants to fight against the Trump administration potentially weakening environmental regulations. Trump has said climate change is a hoax invented by China. Although he has let up on some of his campaign promises, like pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement, his overall stance on the environment has alarmed conservationists.We dont know how much of their campaign rhetoric theyre going to try to put into action, Steyer said. But this is the most broad-based and dangerous attack on American values certainly that I have ever experienced in my lifetime and much more than I have ever imagined would happen while Im alive.

Um, isn’t he a little late?
leftist dicweeds always promise the world but deliver jack squat. this dickweed’s no different.
All I say is bring it on
He’s done a lot of damage with the 4%, particularly on the west coast.
Apparently Tom Steyer is under the impression that socialism will save the world. What always puzzles me is how people with this rather ignorant and mentally disturbed mindset are able to acquire such a fortune. All one has to do is just look around as there are enough examples to show how big a flop socialism has been. But invariable someone always thinks they have discovered a different flavor, which may be just the ticket and possible may work.
He has too much power in CA.
Thanks to this evil bastard, beginning April 1, 2017, every package of cigs sold in CA will be taxed an extra $2.00, save for cigs sold on Indian Reservations.
This evil bastard is a radical Leftist will too much money to spend on his agenda and the majority of CA voters love his radical Left-wing agenda.
Kiss your money goodbye, numbnuts.

I think he wants to play the same games as Soros. the guy is a hedge fund operator and makes his money by manipulating the cost of stock.
The limit would be maybe a billion dollars
We didn’t elect this man to do jack sh*t. Let him throw his money, to the wind.
Spend it all!
That's not fair! You read the article and are holding the author to some kind of standard. Todays journalism just won't hold up to that kind of scrutiny.
The where the hell has he been the last 8 years? Those things were attacked on all fronts by Ohole!
Actually, there is a limit.
Yes, he spent all that money in California to win the popular vote, and was really successful. Too bad no one reminded him that the Electoral vote is what gets the Presidency.
God Himself will destroy this douchebag (”remove” is the term used by God’s Prophet and Holy Spirit) if he poses a threat to Trump. On the other hand, if he’s just another rich liberal retard pissing his money down the toliet while ineffectually tilting at windmills, God will probably just let him keep at it...
How did this guy make his money?
Go spend it all, fool! Your spending will increase the economy and be part of the economic/Trump boom..
Hey lil’ Tommy, your home State of California is coming up 2 billion short on Medi-cal, go make yourself useful.
