Rogue Obama-Backing Billionaire Pivots To Trump

(ConservativeSense.com) – A major Democratic Party donor is pivoting away from President Joe Biden and formally endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 election following the recent assassination attempt against the former president.

Bill Ackman, a long-time Democrat donor who supported Biden and former President Barack Obama in the past, announced his formal endorsement of Trump on Sunday, July 14, the day after the former president survived an assassination attempt.

Trump survived the shooting in Butler County, Pennsylvania, which killed one man sitting behind him at the rally and badly injured two other attendees. Trump suffered an injury to his ear when he miraculously turned his head at the exact moment a bullet whizzed by. Trump said he knew something was wrong when he heard the whiz of the bullet and then felt pain on the side of his head before Secret Service agents jumped on him.

Snipers took out the shooter, who managed to let off eight shots, and questions abound about how he was able to access a nearby building without security noticing.

Since the incident, Trump has seen a spike in support and Ackman is one of many throwing their support behind him. The same day Ackman made his announcement billionaire Elon Musk also announced his official endorsement of Trump.

Ackman’s change of heart wasn’t too surprising. A few weeks prior, following Biden’s dismal performance during the first presidential debate, Ackman criticized the president for staying in the race. He did not blame Biden directly but accused First Lady Jill Biden and the rest of the president’s family of convincing him to continue running. The former Democrat donor said the First Lady was afraid of becoming “irrelevant” as soon as her husband “is no longer president,” and said she was afraid of losing her “glamorous life.”

In his latest message endorsing Trump Ackman also blasted the mainstream media, which he said behave “like sports teams” and “are not the unbiased arbiters” of truth. He told his audience to “keep an open mind” leading into the presidential election.
