A prominent Republican donor has publicly broken with President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, claiming he was betrayed after years of financial and political support.
Investor and former US Senate candidate Bruce Fenton has aired his grievances on X in a strongly worded post that quickly gained traction online. Fenton, a longtime Republican, wrote, “Trump lied. He rugpulled us all.” He claims to have donated approximately $60,000 to Trump’s campaign across several election cycles. He described himself as part of a “broad coalition” of conservatives who initially backed the president, a coalition he now believes has been “torched” because Trump’s current political direction no longer aligns with the principles that first earned their support.
