"While Donald Trump’s felony conviction for falsifying business documents is hurting him with independent voters, it has only increased his popularity with a demographic cohort that is much smaller in number—but still has an outsize role to play in election outcomes: the super-rich."

"Trump’s return to the White House would literally allow the wealthiest Americans to pocket trillions that would otherwise be used for public services.

In fact, he’ll allow them to become even richer than they’d otherwise be."
