Trump Boosters Expect Big Returns on Their Investment:
‘The Shackles Are Off’

Wealthy donors to the president-elect’s campaign anticipate a more business-friendly atmosphere,
including the firing of Biden-era regulators.

🔸Limit the reach of federal regulations on artificial intelligence.
🔸Make room for cryptocurrencies to thrive.
🔸Ease the antitrust crackdown on big tech companies.
🔸Buy more military drones. And don’t raise taxes on billionaires.

The to-do list for President-elect Donald J. Trump from #Marc #Andreessen, the venture capital billionaire from California, is long, but quite specific.

Now, after donating big money to Mr. Trump, Mr. Andreessen is eager to see his candidate work through the list

“It felt like a boot off the throat,” Mr. Andreessen said about Mr. Trump’s victory during a podcast conversation this month with his business partner.
“Every morning I wake up happier than the day before.”

Mr. Andreessen’s excitement is a hint of just how broadly the victory by Mr. Trump has resonated with business executives who ⚠️ invested millions of dollars in his candidacy and now stand to profit from his policies.
Theirs is a circle of deep-pocketed industry winners that extends far beyond #Elon #Musk.
It is a more diverse group, at least in terms of business interests, than the one that surrounded Mr. Trump in his first administration, where executives from the oil, gas and coal industries were particularly dominant.
#Harold #Hamm, the billionaire founder of the Oklahoma-based 💥oil and gas giant Continental Resources, is still in a position to benefit, from regulatory rollbacks that he and an affiliated trade association are already pushing.

But the list also includes:
#Joe #Lonsdale, a defense technology executive who wants to help the Pentagon revamp the way it fights 💥wars;

#Cameron and #Tyler #Winklevoss, the twins who were known for their battle with Facebook, then became 💥cryptocurrency investors and now want to shape the industry’s rules;

#Brian #Evans, the chief executive of Geo Group, the 💥private prison giant that could benefit if Mr. Trump carries out his promise of large-scale deportations;

John Paulson, the hedge fund billionaire who could cash out of his investment in the federal government’s housing finance companies, Freddie and Fannie, if they are privatized under Mr. Trump.

“It will be a billionaires’ ball,” said Robert Reich, who served as secretary of labor during the Clinton administration and who has long been critical of the income disparity in the United States.

Trump has long made a practice of telling potential supporters what they want to hear.

This year, he has also changed previous policy positions in ways that would benefit some of his party’s largest donors.

In March, for example, he publicly reversed course on forcing the sale of the Chinese-owned social-media app TikTok,
despite having signed an executive order,
in August, 2020,
stating his intention to ban the app if it was not sold to a U.S.-based buyer within forty-five days.

Back then, Trump warned that a Chinese company owning so much of Americans’ personal data was a national-security threat.

But this winter, when the Biden Administration endorsed a bipartisan bill to force TikTok’s sale,
Trump came out against the measure.

On Truth Social, he wrote,
“If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck”
—his derogatory name for Facebook’s C.E.O., Mark Zuckerberg
—“will double their business.”

#Steve #Bannon, Trump’s former adviser, posted another explanation for the about-face:
“Simple: Yass Coin.”

Days earlier, at an event in Florida for the conservative group Club for Growth,
Trump had met with #Jeff #Yass, a major investor in TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance.

Yass, a libertarian-leaning Wall Street billionaire who started out as a professional poker player,
has not officially endorsed Trump or donated directly to him.

Instead, he has given more than $25 million to the "Club for Growth" pac, which is supporting the ex-President’s reëlection.

(According to OpenSecrets, Yass and his wife have contributed more than $70 million to conservative candidates and causes this election cycle.)

Yass also appears to have had a hand in Trump’s personal enrichment.

This spring, the company behind Truth Social merged with Digital World Acquisition Corp.,
a company in which Yass’s trading firm, Susquehanna,
was the single largest institutional investor.

Truth Social went public in March, and Trump’s majority stake in the company is now worth an estimated $3 billion.

Perhaps the most striking example of the former President’s donor-friendly flexibility in 2024 has been his shift on the #cryptocurrency industry.

In recent years, he was unambiguously critical of bitcoin,
the most widely traded digital currency,
saying it
“seems like a scam” and “potentially a disaster waiting to happen.”

But, in 2024, he became an unapologetic promoter of it, attracting contributions from major players in the field,
such as the twin brothers #Cameron and #Tyler #Winklevoss,
each of whom donated $1 million in bitcoin to help Trump.

The former rowing stars who famously sued Zuckerberg, their classmate at Harvard, for allegedly stealing the idea for Facebook,
went on to found the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini.

(In a speech this summer, Trump called them “male models with a big, beautiful brain.”)

This year’s Republican Party platform offers few details on many policy issues affecting Americans,
but it is unusually specific on crypto,
promising to
“defend the right to mine Bitcoin”
and opposing the creation of a
“Central Bank digital currency,”
which could threaten the crypto industry’s biggest investors.

In July, Trump flew to Nashville for the Bitcoin 2024 conference,
where he spoke shortly after one of his top fund-raisers,
#Howard #Lutnick.

Lutnick, the C.E.O. of the Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald, has become a leading public proponent of the crypto industry;

at the conference, he announced a plan to lend $2 billion to crypto investors,

allowing them to use bitcoin as collateral.

Onstage, Trump said that his Administration would permit the creation of so-called #stablecoins,
which, he promised, would
“extend the dominance of the U.S. dollar to new frontiers around the world.”

Trump also promised to fire 🔸Gary Gensler, Biden’s chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
whose pro-regulatory positions on crypto have outraged bitcoiners.

The United States, Trump vowed, “will be the crypto capital of the planet.”

Lutnick, who has known Trump for thirty years and who once made a guest appearance on “The Celebrity Apprentice,”
supported Trump’s previous campaigns.

But he has significantly increased his giving in 2024.

According to Bloomberg, Lutnick and his wife donated $30,200 to Republicans in 2016
(though he also gave $1 million to Trump’s 2017 Inauguration committee),
$1.3 million in 2020,
and $12.1 million so far this year.

In May, during the former President’s trial in Manhattan, Lutnick hosted a fund-raiser for him at Lutnick’s apartment in the Pierre hotel.

In early August, he held another event at his forty-acre estate in Bridgehampton, which brought in $15 million; seats for a roundtable with Trump in Lutnick’s dining room went for $250,000.

The following Monday, maga Inc., a pro-Trump super pac, recorded a $5-million donation from Lutnick,
the largest individual political gift he’d ever made.

Juggling With Eggs

‘The #Grenfell Next of Kin group, which represents immediate bereaved families, said #Cameron’s comments were “staggering”. A spokesperson for the group said:

“Has he followed the inquiry or listened to the evidence? We heard quite clearly that from 2010 onwards the government pursued a drive that had a disdain for regulations.”

Quite. Maybe he was too busy playing the part of Foreign Secretary in his political 2nd act to rehabilitate himself to realise his 1st act was being reheated.

#Cameron shows himself again to be self-serving lazy, lying brass necked Etonian mess…and people died because this man who wanted a bonfire of ‘red tape’ and to ridicule health and safety culture was #Tory PM.

Claiming that fire safety was exempt from his ideological removal of regulations is a flat out lie.

“David Cameron has provoked a wave of indignation from Grenfell fire survivors and housing campaigners after claiming that the inquiry agreed with him that fire regulations had not been part of his government’s “red tape drive” to cut regulations. The inquiry report had explicitly said the effect of the Coalition government’s attack on red tape was that “even matters affecting the safety of life were ignored, delayed or disregarded”.” He should be in prison. #Grenfell #Cameron
