18 of Trump's wealthiest backers

As the 2024 race heats up, #Trump is increasingly turning to #billionaires to #power his campaign.

Some are true believers, others are relative newcomers, such as #GOP megadonors who had backed Trump’s rivals or even Democrats.

They represent diverse industries, from traditional red-state #oil titans to formerly left-leaning #SiliconValley #elite.

Some take issue w/ Biden's #BillionaireTax, others prefer Trump on #immigration.

Pure, uncut #fascism is totally mainstream in today’s #GOP.

With a net worth in excess of $30 billion, Miriam Adelson is continuing her husband's tradition of being a kingmaker in Republican politics, and she recently signaled to Trump that the campaign cash spigot could be turned on IF he comes out in favor of allowing Israel to annex the Palestinian-controlled West Bank territory, and if his administration recognizes it as Israeli territory.

Trump would sell out the Palestinians.

#Biden calls #America’s democratic values the “grounding wire of our global power” & its #alliances “our greatest asset.” …#Trump, called for withdrawing American forces in #Europe & #Asia & has promised… to cut loose even our closest #allies if they don’t do as he tells them. …Trump sees all countries as unreliable, the relations between them #transactional. That sentiment has spread throughout a #GOP that once championed America’s values abroad…

It is easy to dismiss #MarjorieTaylorGreene as crazy, but this crazy lady has tremendous influence within the #GOP (which is scary).

She wants the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 out of #NATO, & if #DonaldTrump is re-elected, you will have numerous #Republicans backing an updated version of this bill.

👉🏾 Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls for U.S. Withdrawal From NATO https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-calls-us-withdrawal-nato-1812339

Greene was the Congresswoman who popularized being a #ChristianNationalist in the GOP & has emboldened others by her actions.

What Idaho’s #Republican Primary Tells Us About America’s Culture Wars

The heavily Republican state booted 15 incumbents across the party’s ideological spectrum.

While the election led to net gains for hard-line members of the right, it also underscores how divided Idaho’s party remains.
