The majority of Americans, according to polls, do not support President Donald Trump, but many of the country’s wealthiest citizens and well-known figures do. While many of these well-known Trump supporters supported the Trump campaign in 2016, others did not. These well-known Trump supporters have spent considerable amounts of money, time, and effort to assure Trump’s reelection in 2020. Regardless, everyone who backs Trump 2020 has contributed to the Trump Make America Great Again Committee or the Trump Victory Committee, which is subsequently transferred to the Donald J. Trump For President Committee.
