Wall Street tycoon Stephen Schwarzman endorsed Trump yesterday.

He joins a growing list of billionaires who once condemned the former president but are now flocking to his campaign.

Never underestimate how quickly billionaires will sell out our democracy for tax cuts.

@rbreich There's a serious failure of civic responsibility, and the Rs are doing everything to encourage it.

@rbreich
Given that there is at least one documented instance of trump offering quid pro quo’s for large financial contributions, Schwarzman may be getting more than just tax cuts.
America is for sale by trump

@rbreich Why should their money influence OUR vote? Seriously, it's mind control.

@rbreich WTF difference does it make when is a piece of fucking shit?
Don’t look now, but Joe Biden has just adopted the Trump China policy he has previously and relentlessly repudiated—and gone one further.

@rbreich billionaires have no truck with democracy as it is one person, one vote and they prefer it like it actually is: Where they get to buy influence, and a hearing for what they want, making them even more money.

There is no true democracy as long as there is no real control over money donations to politicians, as it is now in the US and U.K.

It’s an illusion.

EXACTLY. There is an extremely limited number of billionaires who give a shit about anything except whatever will get them "more". Never forget that to the 1%, the rest of us are just in the way; vermin to be owned, controlled or exterminated. The criminal justice system works for them, and they're looking to fully own the government and courts before this is over.
On the plus side, anyone who gets a billionaire "endorsement" risks triggering red flags. Even for MAGAts.

@rbreich The parallels with the Weimar Republic continue. The Junkers just KNEW they could control that buffoon Hitler after he gave them everything they wanted.

@rbreich Bold you think they're onboard because of the tax cuts and not the destruction of our democracy.

@rbreich Never underestimate how quickly politicians of both parties will sell out their constituents for campaign donations.
