   "Trump is a rapist and much worse.

   In addition to the overwhelming testimony of the victims and on top of the mostly-suppressed evidence of the #Epstein files there is the devastating kompromat the Russians have on Trump.

   In any moral society Trump would be in a penitentiary."

   The BBC sensors a lecture by historian Rutger Bregman to avoid offending Donald Trump.

   In one line, Bregman says Trump is the most openly corrupt president in US history. Because that is what Bregman's research shows.

   But the BBC values Trump's feelings over facts, and has now cut this sentence from the lecture.

   The situation is completely different.

   Trump's entire first press conference in 2017 was about the Russia Hoax.

   When Trump held that press conference, Paul Ryan had proof that Hillary paid a foreign spy to produce the Steele Dossier, and he kept it from Trump.

   In addition to that, the DOJ directly lied to Trump about his power to issue executive orders for 4 years.

   FYI: Mike Johnson was Trump's defense attorney on both impeachments.

   The fact is:

   in 2016 Hillary Clinton ran a campaign for Republicans. She ran on the right, appeasing cracker suburbanites, the Never Trump movement, nationalists, Nat Sec ghouls, corporate power, etc, and lost to Trump.

   In 2020, Joe Biden ran on end the forever wars, reign in police violence, dismantled the migrant carceral system, and punishing nazis. He got 81 million votes; nobody has ever gotten more to this day.

   Which campaign did Harris run?

   I rest my case.

   Trump was still trying this summer to personally persuade a few remaining billionaire holdouts to get back on board.

   Two of his biggest targets were #Kenneth #Griffin, the C.E.O. of the hedge fund Citadel,

   and #Paul #Singer, the founder of the activist investment group Elliott Management
   —both former Haley backers who had yet to endorse him.

   In recent years, Griffin has been among the Republican Party’s top benefactors;

   as of August, he had donated nearly
   💥 $75 million to G.O.P. candidates and super pacs.

   But he had publicly disavowed Trump after his Presidency; according to a friend of Griffin’s,
   he has privately called the former President a
   “three-time loser”
   and an “idiot.”

   Earlier this year, he said that he would consider giving to Trump,
   depending on whom he chose as his running mate;

   according to the veteran fund-raiser, he was “not a fan” of Vance.

   Singer had similarly given tens of millions to Republican causes this year without formally backing Trump.

   In July, Trump met with Griffin and, separately, with Singer.

   His lobbying effort was partially successful.

   On August 15th, Singer sent $5 million to maga Inc.

   Griffin, however, eventually announced that he would not be giving any money to the ex-President.

   “I have not supported Donald Trump,” he said this fall.

   “I’m so torn on this one.”

   He added, “I know who I’m going to vote for,
   but it’s not with a smile on my face.”

   (Griffin told me that “Americans enjoyed greater economic opportunity,
   and the world was a safer place,
   under President Trump’s leadership,”
   and that
   “Senator Vance has matured quickly on the campaign trail.”)

   Trump’s courting of billionaires has been an explicit part of the Democrats’ campaign against him.

   At the Democratic National Convention, in August,
   Harris said that the ex-President’s populist rhetoric did not match the reality of a man who
   “fights for himself and his billionaire friends.”

   But the talking points miss an uncomfortable fact for both parties:

   during the Trump era, it’s the Democrats who have enjoyed a clear advantage with the nation’s wealthiest political donors.

   According to OpenSecrets, big donors
   —those who gave $100,000 or more to just one party
   —contributed $5.2 billion to Democratic causes and candidates in the last election cycle,

   and $3.3 billion to Republican ones.

   Despite Trump’s cultivation of the crypto bros and Wall Street money,
   his online chats with Musk and his Mar-a-Lago fund-raisers with Big Oil executives,

   that trend is on track to continue this year.

   A recent Bloomberg survey of billionaires showed Harris receiving support from twenty-one of the country’s richest people,
   compared with fourteen who were backing Trump.

   ⭐️The difference, though, is that Trump had taken in millions more from these supporters.

   🧨His campaign is far more dependent on its shrinking segment of the ultra-rich.

   Trump’s Shameless, Corrupt Wooing of Plutocrats Is Suddenly Backfiring

   A media narrative has somehow taken hold that CEOs are stampeding toward Trump.

   The full story isn’t nearly so simple.

   While a media narrative has taken hold that corporate elites are rushing to support Trump
   —shelving misgivings about his threats of authoritarian rule
   —the reality is much more complex.
   His corrupt entreaties appear to be contributing to a sense that a second term would be unsettlingly chaotic and disruptive to the business climate
   —and this has emerged as a key argument that President Biden’s allies outside the White House are quietly making to business leaders in urging them not to back Trump.

   In an interview, White House chief of staff Jeff Zients said that he and other administration officials have been meeting one-on-one with CEOs in what he called an “all-hands effort.”
   “The most important thing for U.S. economic growth and for progress and good fortune,” Zients told me, in describing the pitch he makes to CEOs,
   is “to have a stable, predictable environment.”
   Zients said he argues that “you might not agree with everything that’s done,” but “there’s an opportunity to talk things through, and there aren’t surprises.”
