Former DeSantis financial backer and billionaire donor Robert Bigelow has finally abandoned the wreckage of the S.S. DeSantis.
The real estate investor and aerospace entrepreneur has already donated millions to the Trump PAC after being an ardent DeSantis supporter.
Bigelow is an old-school Republican, who was somewhat troubled by President Trump’s tactics and larger-than-life persona—I applaud him for changing his ways.
DeSantis might have some good policy positions, but he is a disloyal guy. How could he run against the former President after all that President Trump did for him? It’s messed up, it’s gross.
The Florida Governor threw in the towel and has even endorsed the 45th President, but only after embarrassing himself and showcasing some real greed.
DeSantis was also revealed to be on President Trump’s shortlist for VP but refused to humble himself and accept what would be a number two position in elected government—not a bad deal at all.
Hopefully, DeSantis will change his act soon. No one likes to see a guy who is this greedy and this power-hungry. Good policies or not, DeSantis is now putting out a repellant odor.

According to The Epoch Times:
The Epoch Times previously reported Mr. Bigelow, the founder, president, and program manager of North Las Vegas, Nevada, company Bigelow Aerospace, gave $20 million to Never Back Down Inc., a super PAC supporting Mr. DeSantis in 2023.
He also sent $10 million to a Florida-based political account supporting Mr. DeSantis in 2022.

Daily Mail revealed a list of donors set to make contributions to the Trump campaign:
Co-chairs of the ‘Inaugural Leadership Dinner’, according to the invitation first reported by the New York Post, include hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah, who told friends two years ago they had no plans to help Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Other guests include more reliable Trump donors such as New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, the former president’s ambassador to London, Wilbur Ross, Trump’s commerce secretary, and Linda McMahon, the WWE cofounder who was small business administrator.
