    I really wonder why so many of the super-rich back Trump. He has a really bad track record when it comes to honoring contracts, let alone promises. Add to it that he already tried to overthrow democracy, in which case your campaign contributions would become worthless the moment he manages to seize power.

      Dude, Trump got them their tax cut. He gave them billions in shady covid money. He appointed anti union judges. He’s done a phenomenal job for billionaires, just like every Republican president.

        What I mean is that he clearly has ambitions to become a dictator, as seen when he refused to peacefully step down after losing the last election. The power billionaires wield comes from their ability to use their money to influence elections. Once there’s no more free elections, the billionaires have a much harder time applying political influence, and doing so may get them killed. Compare the list of notable Russians who died under suspicious circumstances

          Fair point, but just like Russia, these billionaires are self absorbed narcissists, who think they’ll always be on the “in” group.
