Major Republican donors are discontinuing their support of President Donald Trump, New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters revealed Wednesday.

“Just talked to one of Trump’s earliest supporters & true believers – very rattled – who’s been talking to big GOP donors,” Peters reported.

“They want to support Trump. They tried hard to ignore all the noise. They can’t anymore,” he noted. “They’re over it,” the former Trump supporter told Peters.
