Former President Donald Trump promised dozens of wealthy donors on Saturday in Palm Beach, Florida, that he would extend his signature tax cuts from his time in office should he win the presidential election.
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, made the vow to about 117 donors during the private event, which brought in more than $50 million in campaign donations.
The fundraiser was hosted by billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson and attended by an array of the country’s richest men, including hedge fund manager Robert Mercer, oil executive Harold Hamm, hotel entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, and casino mogul Steve Wynn.
“Trump spoke on the need to win back the White House so we can turn our country around, focusing on key issues including unleashing energy production, securing our southern border, reducing inflation, extending the Trump Tax Cuts, eliminating Joe Biden’s insane [electric vehicle] mandate, protecting Israel, and avoiding global war,” a campaign spokesperson told NBC News.
