Sheldon Adelson, a casino magnate, perennial top single donor to Donald Trump and other Republican causes and an influential opponent of a two-state solution in the Middle East, has died. He was 87.

In a statement on Tuesday, his wife Dr Miriam Adelson said the Las Vegas Sands chairman and chief executive died “of complications from a long illness”. A Nevada newspaper Adelson owned reported the cause of death as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which Adelson was found to have in 2019.

In the 2020 election, the Adelsons set a new record for political gifts from individuals, flooding the Trump campaign and related accounts, and many lesser Republican campaigns, with a total of $172.7m, according to the investigative campaign finance site Open Secrets.

3. So long Adelson, you will not be missed

This was one of the prime movers and shakers for the seditious rethugs in Congress and the White House. Not sorry to see him depart this world.

7. Oh well

With so little time left and so much money, he still chose to cause so much harm. I see the positive in him not being able to do that anymore.

8. This is a major game changer for

we residents of Nevada. He and his Spouse have been mega donors to the Tea Party of Nevada as well as every so called Sage Brush type group .

Have to admit,only had one encounter with this Fellow and it was pure ugly when his Thugs were told to remove my spouse and I as well as our neighbors from our Neighbors Tailor Friends Work shop because Sheldon wanted a Custom Suit fitting and did not want any Gentiles in the building.
