5 GOP Megadonors Distance Themselves From Donald Trump: Not 'A F**king Nickel'
The Republican heavies are calling for “fresh faces” and leaders who “are rooted in today and tomorrow, not today and yesterday.”

At least five Republican Party megadonors say they’re done with Donald Trump as GOP unease with the former president continues to grow following the party’s poor performance in the 2022 midterms.

Andy Sabin, Ken Griffin, Ronald Lauder, Steve Schwarzman and Thomas Peterffy this week all said they were distancing themselves from Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

“I’m not going to give (Trump) a fucking nickel,” said New York metal mogul Andy Sabin, who plans to back Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis if he decides to run.

“At the end of the day, people stayed away (in the 2022 midterms) because of Trump,” Sabin told CNBC. Trump “endorsed candidates who were not necessarily qualified unless they said ‘I love you, Donald.’”

6. Exactly

They probably want DeathSatan, but if he flounders, they will go back to TFG if he promises them tax cuts, lax oversight, and/or more "freedoms" to abuse their employees.

5. Sorry

I'm not buying it! These low life muck crawlers will change their minds...just like McCarthy has already changed his...he just won't say it out loud...

7. Have to think that Trump would have announced ONLY AFTER again receiving

pledges of support from some of the same foreign oligarchs that helped in 2016. IMHO no way he's made this decision in a vacuum not knowing where financial and cyber support will come from. The support is in place first, then the decision to run.
