Donald Trump with Sheldon Adelson at the Israeli American Council national summit in Hollywood, Florida, in December.

The billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson, an ardent pro-Israel conservative, is expected to donate at least $100m to boost Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election efforts and Republican congressional candidates this fall, say three Republican fundraisers familiar with Adelson’s initial plans.

Adelson’s hefty checks are expected to be written to several Super Pacs – political groups that have to disclose their donors – as well as “dark money” not-for-profit organizations that can keep their donors secret, say the fundraisers.

[PatSeg]

4. He is reportedly worth $39 billion

That is like someone worth $39,000 spending $100 to help a candidate and a party.

5. Adelson?

Of course he does. He's in the top 50 richest people in the world last I checked a while back. Might've even been top 25 I forget.

9. This is going to be at least a 2 billion dollar election

That’s crazy!

7. lay off Bloomberg

We need his help. We are already behind 250 million via the GOP and Trump reelection. If you think grandma's $10 donations are going to help- your nuts. We will be swamped once we get our nominee

12. Thats why all the "Wine Cave Pete" attacks are ridiculous. we need all the money we can get.

11. This idiot benefited from the tax cuts big time (billions)

we're lucky he's a cheap ass and "only" wants to donate $100m.
