"I never thought the leopards would eat my face!"

Trump was manipulated into attacking Adelson by another donor, Ike Perlmutter, who "had hoped in vain that Mrs. Adelson would contribute to a rival super PAC that he backs."

It’s like narcissistic parents trying to undermine each other by manipulating their child.

Trump accusing billionaire supporter Miriam Adelson, the widow of the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, of allowing the PAC she has funded with millions of dollars, Preserve America, to be run by "Republicans in Name Only," also known as RINOs.

This sounds like another felony to add to the list. PACs are not allowed to coordinate with candidates or their campaigns, which is how they're allowed to raise unlimited amounts of money. Trump directing how the PAC be run sure does sound like coordination to me.

"The texts were particularly jarring because Mrs. Adelson and Mr. Trump had a friendly meeting just a week earlier at the Republican National Convention, according to a person briefed on the matter," the report notes before adding that Trump was manipulated into attacking Adelson by another donor, Ike Perlmutter, who "had hoped in vain that Mrs. Adelson would contribute to a rival super PAC that he backs."

Everyone involved seems awful

This guy is just too old. He's lost it. Just a weird racist rapist with 34 felonies. He should be seeking treatment, not an election. It's embarrassing.

Adelson: I never imagined the Leopards would eat my face...

I love seeing Trumpanzees turning on each other. They are some of the worst people on the planet. When they cause each other harm everyone else wins.

Sundowning is a bitch, ain't it?

The Adelson family is horrible. Here’s an article about the patriarch who recently passed. Massive right-wing donor. Got deals from people like Newt Gingrich to shut down investigations into the gambling industry (where a bunch of Adelaon money came from), used far-right anti union operatives, like trump he deliberately stiffed contractors who worked on his business properties…just read the article. The Adelsons are scumbags.

Do not feel bad for the lady. She helped build this monster and was supporting it.

Poor guy, he can't make all of his mega-donors happy. It's a damn shame when you don't really have a platform or any solid principles. You just end up pandering to whoever will pony up. Dance Donny, dance.

The NYT shows the texts included a nice bit of misogyny. I'd say what a piece of shit Trump is, but he even let an aide write those texts haha

“RINOs” — Republicans in name only — and that Mrs. Adelson’s late husband would never have tolerated that, the people said.

Aging is sad, especially when it happens to those you love. But I think we can all admit that old guys get real weird as they approach their mortal expiration. I've unfortunately seen the mood swings and complete lack of couth as the mind degrades in the final years.

One would hope that someone so easily manipulated won’t get to be president

I just don't believe the story. Nobody in the world would be stunned if Trump treated them like crap, because he's done it to so many people that supported him over the years.

Stories like this are proof that we need to get over our child-like worship of billionaires. Money is no proof of intelligence.

But she'll still support Trump no matter what. She's a hardcore Zionist and one of Israel's top donor. She needs Trump to achieve her goals.

It does not matter what you have done for him. You will never be on his side. He stands alone and will never take the needs of anyone else. Not his friends (as if he had any) not his backers or family or anyone other than himself

He’s losing it!

I don't get why anyone donates to parties out of goodwill, i assume it's a quid pro quo

It's a big pile of money that Trump/a Trump lackey doesn't directly control, of course he wants to strong-arm someone in to putting his loyalists in charge. Lest we forget... the head of the RNC is his daughter-in-law.

If Trump and his Facist cronies gain power, they will eventually turn on the people who brought them into power.

...Miriam Adelson, the **widow **of the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson...

Wait! Sheldon Adelson is dead!? happydance.gif
