Liberal billionaires have really been MIA, Terry. I mean, it's been very hard to see sort of any leadership from wealthy Democrats about what exactly their plan is to take on Trump.

Other people have been kind of in a daze. You know, Reid Hoffman, for instance, who's kind of one of the leading liberal donors, I reported a few months ago, was telling friends that he was considering leaving the United States entirely. I think lots of these wealthy Democrats legitimately feel they could be targets of persecution or, you know, from a Trump perspective.

led FBI or that their businesses could get special attention. And the sense from from wealthy Democrats is they should just lay low. So that's sort of happening right now.

But right now, it is not a time for a wealthy Democrat to feel like they can speak out about Trump. And, you know, that's why you're not really seeing much publicly. Privately, you know, wealthy Democratic donors I talk to are... are still sort of in blame game mode a little bit. Like they're still trying to understand how Harris lost exactly.
