I thought Trump wasn't taking money from donors? Why would he be meeting with one of the biggest ones today? Trump has his blind fans fooled. He's a businessman and businessmen are always open to more money and negotiating to get what they want.

If he takes no money will you offer an apology?

How do we know this guy is not meeting on behalf of GOP/RNC/Bush to ask how much will it take to make Trump go away?

I'm sure they are old friends. This notion that billionaire Trump is an outsider is pathetic.

oh right, I'm sure they just happen to be meeting randomly for tea and crumpets. The blind allegiance of Trump fans are worse than blind Obama fans.

To be fair, Sheldon Adelson has influence with the Establishment wing of the Republican Party. The Donald may not be seeking funding but rather a parley.

On top of which, isn't Las Vegas Adelson's home turf? It's probably better politically speaking for The Donald to meet up with Adelson than to snub him in his home town.

"Sheldon Adelson makes billions running Las Vegas Sands, America's largest casino company, and he uses that money to buy influence in the Republican Party. Nothing illustrates the GOP godfather's reach better than the so-called Adelson Primary: In 2014 candidates such as Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Chris Christie flew to Vegas to meet with Adelson, detail their visions and, they hoped, receive his blessing and his money."
