Billionaires Who Championed Trump Have Now Gone Largely Quiet
By Anders Melin and Devon Pendleton

They bankrolled Donald Trump. They applauded his tax cuts. They cheered as the stock market soared. Now, the sound coming from some of the president’s wealthiest donors is this: silence.

As chaos engulfs the White House and Democrats talk of impeachment, few of these billionaires have much to say about the president they showered with many millions in campaign contributions.

Also silent were Richard and Liz Uihlein, owners of Uline Inc., who’ve poured tens of millions into conservative causes in recent years. Hedge fund manager John Paulson didn’t respond to a message seeking comment, nor did Charles Dolan, whose family controls the Madison Square Garden companies.

Any evidence those funds (for the rally) were used to fund the criminals? WarGamer Mar 2021 #15

The rally was always planned as a criminal attack. lagomorph777 Mar 2021 #17
