Politicians who run for office are for sale. But no one has ever prostituted himself like Donald Trump. So, it should be no surprise that a banker would give that kind of money the grifter-in-chief:
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign received a single donation of $50 million (£39.5 million) from a conservative billionaire a day after he was convicted in his hush money trial.
Timothy Mellon – an heir to the Mellon banking family from Pittsburgh, who Forbes estimates to be worth about $14.5 billion – made what is believed to be one of the largest donations to a campaign in American history.
This Mellon is heir to the (in)famous banking empire. He also hates poor/black people:
In the closing chapters of his self-published 2015 autobiography, Mellon attacked the federal government’s “lavish spending” and the “Medicare fiscal black hole,” blaming the “liberal onslaught” of social safety net programs in the 1960s for what he called “slavery redux.” The book’s contents were first reported by the Washington Post in 2020.
“Black people, in spite of heroic efforts by the ‘Establishment’ to right the wrongs of the past, became even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations,” Mellon wrote. “The likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton pandered endlessly to fan the flames.”
