People don't become billionaires by being nice.
He made his estimated $1.5 billion to $2.4 billion fortune by founding and running Farallon Capital, a San Francisco-based hedge fund that grew into one of the most profitable in the U.S.. He specialized in high-risk, multi-strategy investments—including distressed assets, private equity, and foreign bank acquisitions—before cashing out in 2012 to focus on climate advocacy and politics.
Even David Koch donated to Nova and PBS and wanted to do everything trump is now doing to the American people.
trump was a Democrat before he was a Republicant.
It doesn't matter if you have a 'D' or an 'R' after your name.
Follow the wealth!
