Tim Mellon, with views described of as to the right of Atilla the HUn, was the single biggest donor to getting djt reelected. Timothy Mellon donated more to Trump than Elon Musk did | Fortune One of the largest donors to help President-elect Donald Trump was Timothy Mellon, an heir to the generational fortune of Gilded Age tycoon Andrew Mellon. In the 2024 election cycle, Mellon, 82, donated $125 million to the super PAC Make America Great Again, Inc. that supported Trump, according to Federal Election Commission documents. And including, donations to help Republican congressional candidates and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Mellon donated a total of $165 million, according to the campaign finance tracker Open Secrets. Mellon wasn’t the only billionaire to make nine-figure outlays for Trump. Tesla CEO Elon Musk gave at least $119 million to a PAC he set up to re-elect Trump. When including money for other Republicans, Musk gave at least $132 million. But he did so in a much more public manner than Mellon, who is known to eschew the spotlight. Mellon is a grandson of Andrew Mellon and reclusive billionaire who in the past expressed pointed views about federal entitlement programs, which he termed “slavery redux.” Years ago, Mellon was fascinated by the disappearance of aviator Amelia Earhardt, even donating $1 million to explorer Ric Gillespie who was trying to find her missing plane. In exchange for the donation, Gillespie let Mellon join the expedition. Mellon’s posts on an online forum about Earhardt, moderated by Gillespie, eventually turned into political screeds against the IRS, the intelligence agencies, and climate change. Gillespie had to limit his ability to post on the site. “His views were somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun,” Gillespie told the New York Times.
He made these donations after a careful analysis on how he could best use his fortune to help America's workers and the common man. He determined that a Trump presidency would be the best vehicle from which to deliver economic populism.
And George Soros had nothing to do with the 1.2bil that Comma wasted and still is $20MM in the negative on her failed campaign. Cry more!
You do know that the line “His views were somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun,” is a joke right? I have heard that one many times when someone is joking about the political views on the right.
No. The guy had to remove his posting rights because he's so far out there even though Mellon was funding the bill
Other than the spot on perspective, which of course you ignored. So, ya, cry some more. It's your right, afterall. America's left wing socialists are entitled to hypocrisy. Sincerely, Deplorable Garbage
I applaud the self-awareness. Hey, you voted for a guy who tried to illegally overturn an election, right? Is that a good thing for a sitting president to do? Going forward, you'll have no problem if someone else does that?
Me, a left wing socialist..another clueless poster who paints anyone that disagrees with their extremism as the other extreme..smdh at this country and what we have let djt turn us into
