Trump mega-donor Sheldon Adelson tells Donald Trump it’s over
Last night Republican Party operative Karl Rove publicly told Donald Trump that it’s over, and that Joe Biden is President-elect. This was a big deal, because Rove has serious influence over the GOP, and some influence over Trump. Now someone with even more influence over Trump is weighing in.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal has published an op-ed explaining how Donald Trump has lost, and urging Trump to start the transition to President-elect Joe Biden. This is only a big deal because the Las Vegas Review-Journal is owned by Sheldon Adelson, a mega-donor to Trump’s campaign.
Adelson controls his newspaper tightly enough that it’s not even allowed to write about him at all, for instance. So it’s pretty clear that Adelson would not allow the Las Vegas Review-Journal to publish this, unless he was giving his blessing to the narrative that it’s over for Trump. Now that Trump has lost Adelson, he has just about no leg to stand on.
