This will surely trigger the right wing fanbois.

This is an opportunity to folks to reflect on what they really are opposed to. Everyone screaming about these donations to Trump can be honest with themselves.

What really bothers you?

Admit it.......you're excited about this. This is a good thing. It's going to help Harris win, which is what you want.

It's reassuring to know that billionaires aren't all about a party.

We're not seeing anything about the Kochs. They have never liked Trump so their neutral position is helping Harris as well.

I wonder if it's a late donation or it's being reported late. Meaning he actually made the contribution some time ago but managed to keep it under wraps.
