Wall Street billionaires are increasingly showing support for Donald Trump, driven by their desire for lower taxes and favorable business policies. Despite claims of economic weakness, many argue that these assertions are unfounded. Kathy Wylde, head of a nonprofit representing New York City's business leaders, noted that Republicans view the threat to capitalism from Democrats as more concerning than the threat to democracy posed by Trump. Critics, including BobOnMarkets, suggest that if these billionaires want lower taxes, they should openly advocate for it rather than relying on misleading economic narratives. Some believe that Democrats could counter this support by running on economic populism.

Trump has the support of many real billionaires for good reasons: he upholds their class interest. If the Democrats want to rally popular support, they’d run on good old fashioned economic populism. https://t.co/J02kMCDiow
The super-rich are cozying up to Trump, again. Kathy Wylde, head of a nonprofit that represents NYC's business leaders, said Republicans tell her “the threat to capitalism from the Democrats is more concerning than the threat to democracy from Trump.” https://t.co/fkfb1SfH8F
