Head of Citadel Investments Ken Griffin, Explains Why He Purchased Ron DeSantis

WASHINGTON DC – […] He has given nearly $60 million to federal Republican candidates and campaigns this election cycle. That puts Griffin behind just liberal billionaire George Soros, who’s given more than $128 million to Democrats, and Richard Uihlein, who aligns himself with far-right candidates and organizations, at about $62 million.
[…] While he’s supporting one of this cycle’s biggest culture warriors in DeSantis, Griffin said most hot-button issues — abortion rights, battles over sex education and LGBTQ rights — don’t define his interests. He wants to improve the diversity of the GOP and blunt the vein of populism that has complicated the party’s relationship with the corporate world — two things he’s consulted with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy about.

Why did you leave out the primary reasons he’s donating to the Right these days?
Sounds like he wasn’t happy watching cities burn during Trump’s tenure and seeing the Donald piss trillions away on liberal causes.

Okay, but then what do you call Trump growing the federal government, installing Chris Wray and turning the country over to a demented midget because he got spooked?

So what do you think woulda happened had Trump fired the AIDS midget? You dont think they woulda removed him from office for "not trusting the science"? You honestly think DeSantis woulda vetod the COVID aid bills? I fricking doubt it.
This is NPC posting at its finest.

He also walked back immigration reform promises under pressure from big tech, set the pentagon up very nicely for the woke clowns now running it, etc., etc.
I loved his rhetoric, but Trump was GOPe in action.
He did one thing well that I give him loads of credit for - he kept the MIC in check and didn’t get us in any new conflicts abroad, handled NATO well. He also had great grades for the economy his first 3 years, but then pissed that down his leg in 2020.

Those bills were veto proof. Passed both the house and senate with more than 2/3rds.

That demented midget is the head of the NIH and has been since Benjamin Franklin died. You think he should have turned covid response over to the State Department? It is only the last six years that we have learned that every department of the federal government is either corrupt or incompetent. I don't remember anyone having a problem with the little Italian troll being in charge of covid things until he proved what a fricking fascist dildo he is.

DeSantis seems legit but he doesn’t have frick you money. That actually is quite useful when you need to tell important people “frick you”.

That was LEGAL immigration and LEGAL immigration is not our problem. He did a great job on the problem of ILLEGAL immigration.

Because those were the most powerful man in the world’s only two option - put little Anthony in charge, or Mike Pompeo.

Trump lobbied to spend more. He supported all the spending and jumped through hoops to make sore his signature was on stim checks.
He failed to lead when the country needed strong/grownup leadership. He let the Left/media roll over him.
