A jury ruled that Trump committed violent sexual assault.

A judge ruled he committed financial fraud.

Now another judge has found (what we all saw for ourselves) that he engaged in an insurrection.

Trump is still a candidate for president because he has deep-pocketed billionaires, foreign and domestic, funding the necessary mass malign influence campaigns that incites the GOP base.

These 63 billionaires are prepared to do anything, literally anything, to shield Trump.

Koch. Murdoch. Griffin. Ellison. Yass. Thiel. Singer. Schwarzman. Marcus. Harlan Crow. Tim Dunn. Farris Wilks. Kelcy Warren. Bigelow. Ruffin. Lauder. Barre Seid.

@Npars01 @rbreich Odd that these billionaires fund a a self-professed Billionaire whose original pitch was that he didn’t need anyone’s money. Of course, if you believe 45 was ever a billionaire I have some swampland in Florida I’d like to sell you
