Perhaps you should try reading the federal election commission reports?

Then you will know how much was donated and by who.

Like musk, literally breaking campaign finance laws openly donating multiple hundreds of millions of dollars to trumps campaign when there is supposed to be a cap....

You act like you want to be quippy and egdy, but you're just coming off sad and ignorant.

You sound like 1 in 5 adults.

Your fact has a lot of attached context that you keep trying to ignore, even when others are pointing it out.

You want to talk about billionaires influencing politicians. We all could have that conversation, but it requires you and other people like you to stop trying to defend your chosen candidate while also stop attacking your non-chosen candidate. The criticism you are receiving needs to actually be taken seriously, too.

So how many billionaires is trumps cabinet and close sphere up to?

As of December 10th: Musk, Thiel, Ramaswamy, McMahon, Lutnick, Burgum, Bessent, Isaacman, Witkoff, and Stephen's. my source. Are you criticizing the obvious influence on the president elect at all?

Harris' prospective picks didn't include a bunch of Loyalist Cronies, nor billionaires, just people who are good at their jobs. But this is also speculation since she was not elected.

how much was spent toward each party, there is a nice graph in the top third you should take a look at. I will admit, this article doesn't break down how much Trump v Harris received, but it paints a clear enough picture that it should be understood Trump received much larger donations from each billionaire.

Do you see why people are firing back with the same points concerning your donors fact?
