TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

Trump: In the old days, if you said a thing like that, that was punishable by death.

Kilmeade: Yeah, but you're not saying, you're not threatening them. A lot of people were interpreting it as a threat...

Trump: Well, I'm not threatening them, but I think they're in serious trouble.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections β€” 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.
