50 billionaire families have already poured $600M+ into this year's elections — mostly in support of Trump.

That's only 0.6% of their total wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in dark money.

@rbreich Which really points out how greedy they are. If you really care about something, isn’t it worth at least 1%? Even in political influence, they’re out for a cheap deal.

I don't think Trump even wants to be president again. He knows he wasn't good at it.

I believe he's running primarily in hopes of shutting down the prosecutions against him and avoiding prison or financial ruin as consequences of his own actions.

@rbreich I don’t think he wanted to the first time! He was goaded into running, and if he hadn’t, most of his crimes would have continued to go uninvestigated. But now we’re stuck with him because he thinks the office is his only get-out-of-jail-free card (and SCOTUS refuses to set the record straight).
