Trump’s Base of Big Donors….

…. seems to have dried up.

Perhaps this is explained by the famous line that actor George C. Scott delivered in his 1970 film portrayal of “Patton”:  “American loves a winner, and America will not tolerate a loser.  The very thought of losing is hateful to America.”

After all this time, it looks like we’ve arrived at a point where his richest constituents have come to regard Trump as a loser, and by this I do not mean that he’s a lost soul, devoid of integrity and character.  That much is certainly true, but these people couldn’t possibly care less about their hero’s ethics and decency.  I mean “lower” in the sense of his flagging wealth, and that, in addition, he faces the prospect of losing his freedom as well.

It appears that big money has no further appetite for investment in a man who simply appears to be falling off a cliff.
