‘Manipulated’ Trump Blows Up Billionaire Megadonor’s Phone With Angry Texts

The ex-president got a top aide to send the texts accusing the donor’s massive Preserve America PAC of being run by RINOs. But aides fear he is being manipulated.

Donald Trump ordered one of his closest aides to bombard a billionaire Republican backer with abusive texts accusing her of employing his Republican rivals, a new report has revealed.

The angry former president targeted Miriam Adelson, one of the Republican Party’s wealthiest backers, over claims that her $100m “Preserve America” PAC was being run by “RINOs”—Republicans In Name Only, The New York Times reported.

The messages said that her late husband Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino boss who was a major Republican and Trump donor, would not have allowed such aides to be involved in his operations. Trump was close to both Adelsons for many years and gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018.

The texts were sent by Natalie Harp, the Trump aide known as “the human printer” for providing him with reams of print-outs during his criminal trial in state court in New York, which ended with his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
