He had contributed more than $250 million to the Trump 2024 campaign. He carelessly promised that he would cut $2 trillion, or one-third, from federal government expenditures, before he cut his cutting promise to $1 trillion, and he finally achieved less than 20% of this last goal. His conspiracy theorizing did not help him, as…
