In my lifetime before Trump's POTUS ambition, I'm not aware of CEOs
publicly promoting this/that person...but economically, they have
donated to this/that candidate. Most CEOs work for a company.

So few of these Ape-man CEOs beating their chests, but its interesting
to observe how success goes to their heads (inflated self-perception).

Let's see, so he donates some $300 million, and expects a payback
without political/legal consequences.  It's clear he did not consider
or evaluate potential  collateral damage.

He's been an investor in his ideas, while others made it so.  But
apparently his greed drive is thru the roof, which affects his
reasoning skills (if he has the ability to reason).
