Sheldon Adelson buys Donald Trump with a Donation Boost

Donald Trump is a bought and paid for politician.

The casino magnate Sheldon G. Adelson told Donald J. Trump in a private meeting last week that he was willing to contribute more to help elect him than he has to any previous campaign, a sum that could exceed $100 million, according to two Republicans with direct knowledge of Mr. Adelson’s commitment.

Still a distasteful, vulgar piece of human detritus any way you look at him. Sad to think that this is what some in our country look at as a potential leader of the free world. We could end up the laughingstock of the free world.
