Leon Cooperman, a hedge fund billionaire who has financed campaigns for a number of Republicans, told CNN that he would sit out the next election cycle if Donald Trump becomes the GOP presidential candidate. “It would be terrible for the country if Donald Trump were reelected. He’s a divisive human being who belongs in jail.”
Told of Cooperman’s statement, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said Trump “will be the nominee and will beat Biden because he’s the only person who can supercharge the economy, secure our border, safeguard communities and put an end to unnecessary wars. … Americans want to return to a prosperous nation and there’s only one person who can do that – President Trump,” apparently unaware that the GDP grew at 4.9% last quarter, more than any non-pandemic quarter of Trump’s only term in office.
