Minutes after Donald Trump was convicted in a political show trial, venture capitalist and former Hillary Clinton donor Sean Maguire revealed he had donated $300,000 to Trump's campaign because he refuses to “live in a society where people are afraid to speak.”
Trump was convicted on all 34 counts in a move that many see as America's final descent into a third world banana republic where the legal system is weaponized to silence political opposition.
Maguire was one of numerous prominent people to react by asserting their support for Trump.
“I just donated $300k to President Trump. The timing isn't a coincidence,” Maguire posted on X.
He also posted a lengthy article explaining the reasons behind his decision, noting that he had voted for and gave money to Hillary in 2016.
“I know that I’ll lose friends for this. Some will refuse to do business with me. The media will probably demonize me, as they have so many others before me. But despite this, I still believe it’s the right thing to do,” wrote Maguire.
“I refuse to live in a society where people are afraid to speak,” he added.
Maguire cites Biden's debacle in Afghanistan and his contributon to fostering global instability as two of the main reasons why he could never vote for the Democrat.
The investor said he had “spent hundreds of hours following the trials and researching the charges against Trump,” concluding that they were all politicized, underhanded forms of “lawfare” purely designed to prevent him winning the 2024 election.
“If these are the worst things they can find, then he did less wrong then I otherwise would have assumed,” wrote Maguire.
“There's a real chance President Trump is convicted of felony charges and sentenced to prison. Bluntly, that's part of why I'm supporting him. I believe our justice system is being weaponized against him,” he concluded.
Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who previously demanded Trump resign and “apologize to all Americans” for January 6, is also reportedly planning to announce his support for Trump.
