Ken Griffin, Major GOP Donor, Rules Out Backing a Trump Rerun

My "honest headline", "Local Scumbag Decides to Stick With His FL Errand Boy"

“I think it’s time for America to move on,” he said in an interview Monday with Erik Schatzker at the Economic Club of Chicago.

Trump’s tenure was not constructive for the country, with the exception of his economic policies, Griffin said.

The former president was “so pointlessly divisive,” he said, adding he was “appalled” by Trump’s willingness to attack people based on where they came from or the color of their skin.

Trump reflects what the Republican Party has become.

A few meant what they said and formed the Lincoln Project and switched parties.

Most simply toadied up to the antichrist.

So sure today he says he won't give him money, but if trump runs and wins the nomination, which he would, Mr. Griffin's checkbook would have a sudden case of amnesia.

They need to say it over and over. Another thing: Stop giving money to the GOP unless it guarantees that Chump won't be their candidate.

Money talks and BS walks.

The way the former guy makes his empty boasts about having so much money, if all the GOP sugar daddies let him self-finance another vanity run, what would his 2024 look like? Soap boxes in public parks while using a bullhorn and pleading for people to give him money is my guess.

But could the fat cats trust each other not to give money to Donny?
