Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager, Longtime Democrat Donor Bill Ackman Set to Endorse Donald Trump

 

Billionaire hedge fund manager and longtime Democratic Party donor Bill Ackman is set to endorse Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

Ackman, who is the CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management and has an estimated worth of $4 billion, has reportedly decided to endorse Trump after concluding that Joe Biden must be removed from office.

The Financial Times reports:

Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman is leaning towards backing Donald Trump in the US election, according to a person briefed on his thinking, as some of Wall Street’s leading figures throw their weight behind the former president.

Ackman, who backed Trump’s Republican rivals, including Nikki Haley, in the party’s primary contest this year, is likely to make his endorsement on X, the Elon Musk-controlled social media platform in which he is a minority investor. Ackman has previously donated money to Democrats, including Dean Phillips, who mounted a primary challenge to President Joe Biden this year.

The person familiar with Ackman’s thinking said the billionaire did not believe alternative candidates such as Robert F Kennedy Jr, whose long-shot White House bid he had also supported, were likely to win.

They added that Ackman’s dislike for Biden far outweighed his ambivalence for Trump.

Ackman has recently expressed grave concerns about the rise of anti-semitism across the American left and helped spearhead the campaign to remove Harvard President Claudine Gay from office.

His likely endorsement comes after the CEO of Blackstone, Stephen A. Schwarzman, also confirmed that he would be fully supporting Trump against the Biden regime.

“The dramatic rise of antisemitism has led me to focus on the consequences of upcoming elections with greater urgency,” Schwarzman told Axios.

“I share the concern of most Americans that our economic, immigration and foreign policies are taking the country in the wrong direction. For these reasons, I am planning to vote for change and support Donald Trump for President. In addition, I will be supporting Republican Senate candidates and other Republicans up and down the ticket, he added.

DeSantis Responds to Trump’s Guilty Verdict – ‘Kangaroo Court’

DeSantis Responds to Trump’s Guilty Verdict – ‘Kangaroo Court’

 

On Thursday night, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded to the guilty verdict on 34 felonies against Donald Trump delivered by a ‘kangaroo court.’

The jury never explained what crime Trump committed and was not required to explain what crime Trump committed.

Although they were rivals in the Republican primary, The Gateway Pundit reported DeSantis and Trump confirmed a reconciliation meeting at Shell Bay Club in Hollywood, Florida, in April.

Trump expressed satisfaction with the meeting, noting, “I am very happy to have the full and enthusiastic support of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida. We had a great meeting yesterday. The conversation mostly concerned how we would work closely together to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”

DeSantis released the following statement on X Thursday night:

Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to “get” Donald Trump.

That this case—involving alleged misdemeanor business records violations from nearly a decade ago—was even brought is a testament to the political debasement of the justice system in places like New York City. This is especially true considering this same district attorney routinely excuses criminal conduct in a way that has endangered law-abiding citizens in his jurisdiction.

It is often said that no one is above the law, but it is also true that no one is below the law. If the defendant were not Donald Trump, this case would never have been brought, the judge would have never issued similar rulings, and the jury would have never returned a guilty verdict.

In America, the rule of law should be applied in a dispassionate, even-handed manner, not become captive to the political agenda of some kangaroo court.

Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to “get” Donald Trump.
