Billionaire magnate Sheldon Adelson said Thursday night he would support Republican Donald Trump as the party’s nominee.
“Yes, I’m a Republican, he’s a Republican,” said in an interview with the New York Times. “He’s our nominee. Whoever the nominee would turn out to be, any one of the 17 – he was one of the 17. He won fair and square.”
While Adelson remained neutral in the 2016 race, Trump went after him on Twitter, accusing the conservative donor, who gave at least $155 million to GOP candidates and causes in 2012, of trying to make Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) “his perfect little puppet.”
At the New York City event Thursday evening, hosted by the Jewish organization World Values Network, he also told a BBC reporter he thought Trump “will be good for Israel.”
I cannot wait for the Trump love and support from David Duke and the KKK to be thrown into this decrepit old motherfucker’s face.
Oh, and Shelly Darling - I hope your affair with Trump is just as satisfying as your affair was with Little Marco.
I think a Hillary victory in 2016 will finally give this jagoff the fatal embolism he so richly deserves. GO HILLARY!
This shows what a fraud this un-American, repulsive creep is. If Hillary Clinton refused to condemn anti-Semitic comments made by one of her prominent supporters, Adelson and the AIPAC crowd would be apoplectically screeching at the top of their lungs about how unfit Clinton is for office.
Adelson is a Republican for two reasons only: 1) He knows they will never go after his corrupt practices in Macao and elsewhere; 2) he knows that Republicans will never, ever breathe a single word of criticism about Netanyahoo and the Israeli Ultra-Orthodox extremists who support him.
Yes, I’m very skeptical of his affection for the United States:
"“I am not Israeli, the uniform that I wore in the military
unfortunately was not an Israeli uniform, it was an American uniform,
although my wife was in the IDF, and one of my daughters was in the
IDF, and my two little boys — our two little boys one of whom will be
bar mitzvahed tomorrow… hopefully he’ll come back [to Israel], his
hobby is shooting and he’ll come back and be a sniper for the IDF…
All we care about is being good Zionists, being good citizens of
Israel, because even though I am not Israeli born, Israel is in my
heart,…”
Adelson meant Netanyahu’s Israel.
Proof positive that all the money in the world can’t prevent dementia.
Do ugly people hoard mountains of cash, or does persuing cash just make people ugly?
Ahhhh yes Sheldon…You don’t really ‘care’ about your ‘issues’ now do you?
