I had previously back DeSantis. That changed today.
Fucking Ken Griffin is backing DeSantis!
The reason? Griffin can weasle his way out of his massive 65 billion-dollar-plus short position by becoming Treasury Secretary. He would then be able to divest from himself from Citadel tax-free. Golden parachute.
Is that who you want as your treasury secretary? Someone who throws the taxpayers under the bus to fill up and walk away from a multi-billion dollar debt hole that he created?
Do you know who Ken Griffin does not support in the 2024 race?
This must be divine providence. The stars are aligning for Trump I think he's our best option once again.

GOP megadonor: I’m ready to back DeSantis for president in ’24
Billionaire CEO Ken Griffin is a bit tired of Donald Trump. "For a litany of reasons, I think it’s time to move on to the next generation,” he said in an interview.

He has given nearly $60 million to federal Republican candidates and campaigns this election cycle. That puts Griffin behind just liberal billionaire George Soros, who’s given more than $128 million to Democrats, and Richard Uihlein, who aligns himself with far-right candidates and organizations, at about $62 million.
“Do I get a bronze medal?” Griffin asked, chuckling while allowing that “it’s not a competition.”
Bronze-level giving by Griffin, 54, would be welcome news for one potential 2024 hopeful: Ron DeSantis. During an interview in his temporary offices in downtown Miami, detailing how he directs his political contributions, Griffin told POLITICO that he’s prepared to back the Florida governor if he runs for the White House. Griffin was the leading donor to DeSantis’ reelection campaign this cycle, dropping $5 million.
“I don’t know what he’s going to do. It’s a huge personal decision,” he said of DeSantis. “He has a tremendous record as governor of Florida, and our country would be well-served by him as president.”

GOP mega-donor Ken Griffin, who's poured $60 million into Republican campaigns this cycle, called Trump a '3-time loser' and said he shouldn't run for president
"I really hope that President Trump sees the writing on the wall," said Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, who previously donated $1 million to Trump's PAC.

Ken Griffin, the CEO of investment firm Citadel and a Republican mega-donor, called former President Donald Trump a "three-time loser" and said he hoped Trump wouldn't run for the White House again.
"I'd like to think that the Republican party is ready to move on from somebody who has been for this party a three-time loser," Griffin said on Wednesday at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore.
While Griffin praised Trump for his rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in 2020, he referenced Trump's failed presidential bid in 2020, the results of this year's midterms, and the Republican party's loss of two Georgia Senate seats in 2021.
"I really hope that President Trump sees the writing on the wall," Griffin said. His remarks came before Trump announced his 2024 bid at Mar-a-Lago.
Griffin voiced support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has yet to announce a presidential campaign for 2024.
