One day after President Trump was convicted on bogus charges, billionaire Timothy Mellon contributed $50 million to his campaign. Trump now has a cash advantage over Joe Biden, who is waiting for China to bail him out. Mellon doled out the money to Make America Great Again Inc., a superPAC dedicated to the re-election of President Donald Trump. His contribution makes up over 75% of the money taken in by the PAC.
Money isn’t the only trouble Team Biden has at the moment. The highly respected and accurate Rasmussen Polling shows Trump now leading Biden nationally by 10 points. If you recall, in 2016, as every poll showed an easy win for Hillary, Rasmussen showed Trump in the lead. The MSM is finding it harder and harder to prop up Dementia Joe. The lies they are now telling are 43% larger than the lies they told in 2020. Biden has lost a vast amount of support from blacks, Hispanics, youth, women, and union members, but the press still insists Biden is winning.
BBC reported:
According to Forbes magazine, Mr Mellon is a descendant of Thomas Mellon, an Irish immigrant who amassed a fortune in real estate and banking after arriving in the US in 1818.
The Mellon family – which also included Mr Mellon’s grandfather Andrew, a former US treasury secretary – is today worth over $14bn (£11bn). Forbes estimates that that the Mellons are the 34th richest family in the US.
Even before his recent donation to the Trump campaign, Mr Mellon has a history of donating to conservative candidates and causes.

More recently, Mr Mellon helped bankroll Texas governor Greg Abbott’s construction of a wall along the Mexican border, providing more than $53m for the project in 2021.
He also has given money to various Republican-aligned super PACS – or “political action committees” – to support conservative candidates.
The 81-year-old billionaire is not alone in his support for Trump. His generous donation aligns him with a growing number of billionaires who have openly backed the former President.
