After his major donations to Trump and the GOP in 2020, the Washington Post discovered Mellon used racial stereotypes in his 2015 self-published autobiography. He described social safety net programs as “slavery redux,” wrote Black people became “even more belligerent” after welfare expansion in the 1960s and 1970s ..
.. and opined that “for delivering their votes in the Federal Elections,” welfare recipients are “awarded with yet more and more freebies: food stamps, cellphones, WIC payments, Obamacare, and on, and on.”
the Mellon family is worth $14.1 billion, making them America’s 34th-wealthiest family as of this year.
Trump has amassed a coalition of billionaire donors since clinching the nomination in March. Energy Transfer pipeline company founder Kelcy Warren (worth about $6.3 billion) gave at least $800,000 to Trump’s campaign apparatus
Former chairman and CEO of Marvel Entertainment, Isaac Perlmutter (worth about $4.3 billion) and his wife, Laura, gave $10.1 million to a new pro-Trump super PAC, Right for America, in the first quarter.
TD Ameritrade Chairman J. Joe Ricketts (worth about $41. Billion) , former casino mogul Steve Wynn(worth about $3.4 billion) and Los Angeles real estate magnate Geoffrey Palmer (worth about $3.1 billion) also gave more than $800,000 to Trump 47
