I’m not bothered by the contributions to rat politicians. It’s the cost of doing business, how the game is played.

But that also indicates that Trump is hardly the fighter that some make him out to be. He would rather write Dem politicians a check than stand up to them.

Most all big business executives and Corporations donate to both sides. They have the attitude that you sell to all Americans on an equal basis or go bankrupt.

Trump IS a dynamic business man who knows how to influence people and he certainly read the Public sentiment by showing a more Populist approach. And he was correct in his evaluation of the American electorate.

You have to pick and choose your battles. I imagine Trump can fight fine when he wants to do so.

Too often, rich people or businesses give money simply because a politician asks for it. They figure they might need access someday, so like I said, it is a business decision. I have had corporate clients who detested liberalism give money to liberals who they thought were in a position to influence their business. It is nauseating, but again, how the game is played.
