Trump bitterly attacks top GOP donors after they threaten to pull funds:'My tax cut made them richer

President Donald Trump on Tuesday angrily lashed out at the Koch Brothers, who have long been two of the biggest donors to the Republican Party, because they have started threatening to withhold donations to pro-Trump candidates.

“The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade,” the president wrote. “I never sought their support because I don’t need their money or bad ideas. They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks and more.”

The Kochs, whose donations helped fuel the Tea Party movement that opposed former President Barack Obama, have publicly slammed Trump over his immigration and trade policies.

Charles Koch this past weekend even said that he “didn’t care” if the GOP lost the House this fall.

1. Back to the familiar theme of social and financial elites dissing Trump.

Wait til the Brothers start funding the campaigns of anti-Trump candidates during the primaries and elections.


Pass the popcorn.

3. traitortrump is attacking nearly everyone sooner or later. trump's self sabotage is amazing.

We at DU, really cannot ask for more from trump. If we can't convict trump's providing all this information against trump interests, we may never be able to convict any President - especially if Kavenought gets on the Court.

On a more positive note there is Mueller, all the many investigators, institutional checks and balances, other prospective lawsuits, 'attackees', etc.
traitortrump will very likely be taken down.

4. Also, could this be more Orwellian:

A highly respected Federal judge today stated that the “Trump Administration gets great credit” for reuniting illegal families. Thank you, and please look at the previous administrations record - not good!

Waiting for the time when these right wing gun loving morons start instituting their 2nd amendment rights on each other. Pass the popcorn!

10. YES!

Kochenstein's monster has escaped the castle and Dr Koch bros are pissed LOL

Nothing like a GOP civil war to start off the day!

[duforsure]

9. Maybe they know what's coming,

And other donors are in deep trouble legally, and in bed with putin. It may all be about lessening their legal liabilities with putin and trump.

11. Those libertarian pigs got their tax cut theft from Trump

Now they want to wash the Trump stain off their hands.

Sorry Koch bros and "moderate" republicans...the Trump treason stain and shame will be yours forever!

13. Trump tweets tax cut confession to voters.

Trump just admitted to the world that he and Republicans passed the tax cuts to benefit people like the Kochs to keep them happy, and now he thinks his bribe isn’t working. Cool! No more claiming benefits for working people. That tweet should be repeated in ads for Democrats.

[LittleGirl]

17. That was my first thought!

He admitted the tax cuts benefited the rich! That fucker is so stupid he doesn't even realize what he did with that tweet.

Please Mueller bring on the indictments. Get that bozo out of our white house.

A little late, but welcome to DU Lonestarblue

14. Oh, that reminds me. Need to add popcorn to the grocery list.

15. I bet this is giving Scott Walker and ulcer...

He's trying to figure out how to please both masters...the Koch Bros. who control his unending supply of cash to trash Wisconsin or his political soul-mate tRump....

either way he chooses, he loses.

16. Just firming his base

These donors have one principle: money
