Unexpectedly, a major Democrat millionaire applauded former President Donald Trump. The billionaire told Fox News that Trump has played an “incredible” role as president and was “very impressed” with his achievements.
“I’m a Democrat, but I have to give credit where credit is due,” the billionaire said. “President Trump did a lot of great things for this country. He cut taxes, he strengthened the military, and he stood up to China. I think he was a great president.”
Given American politics’ profound party division, the billionaire’s words may surprise many. They also show that some Democrats are realizing Trump was not as horrible as they anticipated.
