Holy crap it was this completely insane freak who gave #Trump $$ supposedly for the #military.

#TimothyMellon, a reclusive #billionaire & a major financial backer of Trump, is the anonymous private donor who gave $130 million to the US government to help pay troops during the #shutdown, according to two people familiar with the matter.

A while ago I posted a thread about him.
I’ll boost it.

He is scary.

#TimothyMellon, a wealthy banking heir & railroad magnate, is a longtime backer of #Trump ….

A grandson of former Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon, Mr. Mellon was not a prominent Republican donor until Trump was elected. But in recent years, he has poured HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars into supporting Trump & the #Republican Party.

#TimothyMellon, who lives primarily in Wyoming, keeps a low profile despite his prolific political spending. He is also a significant supporter of #Health Secy #RFKJr, who also ran for president last year. Mellon donated millions to Kennedy’s presidential campaign & has also given money to his #AntiVax group, Children’s *Health* Defense.
