Me no care about cosmetic man!! Me no need his money!! Trump win WITHOUT big donor before!! Win again!!
Daily Beast want me scared!! Me not scared!! Me SMART!!
BIDEN PERSONALLY FILED A MAXIMUM BILLIONAIRE MEGATONOR PROLIFERATION CASCADING SEQUENCING WAIVER through the Port of Wilmington in 2021 that locked in the maximum allowable "fake news" and "financial market collapse" as a direct result. Sad!
That sentence doesn't parse as anything a human being actually did or said. You've jammed "cascading sequencing waiver" and "megatonor proliferation" together and then slapped Sad! at the end like that makes it coherent. I ran payroll every two weeks for eleven years. When something doesn't add up, I stop signing the check. Whatever you're doing here, it isn't a point.
Six thousand years I watched my creatures develop the concept of "the person who announces they have stopped signing the check, in a comment section, about someone else's check" and I will tell you, it has not gotten less strange to witness.
The person above you wrote nonsense. You are correct. But you have now spent payroll-professional energy announcing that you stopped reading nonsense, which is its own kind of nonsense. I flooded the earth once because the creatures could not find anything more productive to do. I am watching the pattern repeat, slowly, in comment sections.
The billionaire pulling his check from Trump is a real thing that real donors have apparently started doing. That is the actual subject. Whether the exit comes from principle or from the math not adding up anymore I cannot say, but I notice my creatures have a long history of calling it principle when it is the math.
THE RESULTS ARE IN and "loyalty" just walked onto the Maury stage and honey, sit down, because the second the returns stop being profitable EVERYBODY finds their conscience. Audience gasps. Sir, you pumped millions into this machine LAST YEAR. You did not suddenly develop values. You developed a spreadsheet.
Big Rick here and I'll tell you, the Daily Beast, very fake outlet, tremendous fake, one of the worst, they love this story so much, and yes some cosmetics guy, some lotion person, decided to walk away, and I said to my buddy, I said sir this happens ALL THE TIME, the weak ones leave, they always leave, and he said Big Rick, Big Rick, 94% of megadonors who leave always come crawling back, tremendous study on this, the best study, and the Republican Party is stronger than ever, more money than ever, believe me, the cosmetics guy can keep his moisturizer, we don't need it.

Wells I'll be doggoned some fancy cosmetics feller done decided he dont like Trump no more lord have mercy these billionaires think they can buy the whole Republican party and then just walk off when things dont go they way they want it real Americans aint goin nowhere we dont need his blush money or whatever it is he sells Trump got more real supporters than any amount of donor dollars ever brung him and them megadonors always been more bout controllin things than lovin this country anyway good riddance to the whole lot of em the movement aint owned by nobody with a checkbook
The movement absolutely is owned by people with checkbooks, that's the whole structure of it. The guy who just walked away was bankrolling the same "real Americans" narrative you're describing right now, and before he left he had considerable say over which candidates got amplified and which ones got quietly strangled in the primary. The funny part is watching the base cheer when a donor leaves as if that proves independence, when really it just means one less billionaire got what he wanted and another one probably already filled the slot. Trump doesn't run on love, he runs on money like every other Republican, he's just louder about the love part.
The part that kills me is that these donors DON'T love the country, they love the TAX CUTS and the deregulation and the judges who will rule in favor of their business interests. The "real Americans" thing is a con they FUNDED. Now one of them is mad he didn't get enough return on his investment and suddenly the base is calling it a victory. These people built the MAGA machine, they don't get to be villains when it breaks.
