Maybe Trump promised Mr Adelson a favor that will occur prior to 1/20/2021.

Someone asked why the bookies here and in foreign countries are betting on Trump to win. Why would they throw away cash when most can't even vote?

Trump probably secured Adelson 10X that amount with his corporate tax cuts, so rather than do something good for people with that $75 million, he will **** it away on a long shot for a thug who already rewarded him handsomely.

Whey would Adelson throw money at a losing proposition, does he have access to positive Trump internal polling?

I guess one could ask "If Trump were winning by a landslide as many predict herein, why would Mr. Adelson throw money away when the outcome is already assured?"

That is a much more relevant question given the OP's premise.

Remember that story that President Trump was thinking of spending 100 million of his own money into the election?


What ever happened with that?
