I thought Trump would take no money from billionaires and would not owe them, because he is already rich crapola....?
The richest president in American history has gotten financial support from nearly one in 10 U.S. billionaires.
This article reflects Federal Election Commission filings as of February 29, 2020.
Nearly five years ago Donald Trump descended an escalator inside Trump Tower and announced a long-shot bid to become president of the United States. Standing on a stage in the building’s lobby, in front of eight American flags, he spoke to a gaggle of cameras. “I’m using my own money,” Trump said, indicating that he would self-fund his campaign. “I’m not using the lobbyists. I’m not using donors. I don’t care. I’m really rich.”
How times have changed. Now in the midst of his reelection campaign, President Trump has accepted donations from 80 (now 99) billionaires and their spouses, according to a review of Federal Election Commission filings. Fifty-one moguls donated in their own names. Seven others are married to people who did. In other words, 9% of America’s billionaires, who together are worth a combined $210 billion—either directly or through their spouse—have pitched in to cover the costs of Trump’s 2020 campaign.
