Clinton megadonor unleashes mega-rant on Trump

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/haim-saban-slams-trump-223816


Saban Entertainment founder Haim Saban is confident Hillary Clinton will win the White House in November, dismissing her general election opponent with an assortment of insults, including disaster, bully, buffoon, clown, fraud, pathological liar and “cynical, self-serving, self-centered egomaniac.”


“Donald Trump is a disaster,” the longtime Clinton donor said during a phone interview with Danielle Berrin of the Jewish Journal published Wednesday. “He is a bully who doesn’t have the curiosity to understand the issues; he contradicts himself repeatedly; his views of the world are an unmitigated disaster for America and for the American people, and I believe that all of this will become clearer with time.”

Saban, an American-Israeli billionaire, said his confidence comes from his faith in Americans, who “are going to do the right thing for America and for the world.”

Noting that Clinton has gotten more votes than Trump and her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, Saban added, “That is very indicative of where the American people are.”

The “Power Rangers” producer was effusive in his praise of Clinton but didn’t pull his punches when it came to the Manhattan billionaire businessman — if you can call him that.

“He’s not a successful businessman; he is not a billionaire; this is a guy, who, I promise you, doesn’t pay taxes … and he is an oppressor of the weak,” Saban said
.

“He claims that he ‘never settles’ — well, all I can tell you as chairman of Univision is that he sued us and he settled,” Saban continued.


He also blasted Trump for suggesting that as president he would be neutral in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict before shifting course.

“One day he says he’s going to be neutral on the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian problem, and the next day — I guess after he gets some Republicans to give him a lot of money — he says, ‘Yes, Israel should build in the settlements,’” Saban said. “The danger here is that he doesn’t understand the conflict between those two statements; he just doesn’t get it.”
