Longtime PayPal President, Democrat Megadonor Endorses Donald Trump

In news that shocked both Democrats and Republicans across the country, the longtime president of Paypal, who is a well-known mega-donor for left-wing candidates, endorsed former President Donald Trump. David Marcus took to social media platform X to share with the world that he would not be throwing support behind Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the White House, but instead backing the GOP nominee, Donald Trump. Marcus said in his post that he was “crossing the Rubicon and backing the Republican Party and President Trump.”

Marcus kicked off his lengthy post by saying, “Many — including a former version of myself — get trapped in a mental framework that becomes their identity and prevents them from radically evolving their thinking with new facts and information. I finally broke free from it. My journey has been a gradual political 180 from where I stood in every previous election. It has been an eye-opening process of disenchantment, zero-basing lifelong beliefs, and rebuilding from there.”

The head honcho of Paypal continued, “In 2017, a good friend enlisted me to pitch the DNC to raise $100M from Silicon Valley founders and executives. The aim was to use these funds and know-how to build a CRM and tech platform to prevent a repeat of Hillary Clinton’s inadequate, outdated 2016 campaign. We met with DNC leadership, who told us we could raise that money, but it would have to go to the general fund; a single-digit percentage would then be allocated to tech. In the wake of one of their most shocking failures, they didn’t want the help.”

Marus then stated that the next steps in his political awakening took place in 2019 while he was over at Meta immediately following the announcement of the Libra white paper. He provided testimony before both chambers of Congress, followed by spending lengthy amounts of time in our nation’s capital getting to know and engage with lawmakers, members of the president’s cabinet, regulators, and two different administrations. He said, “At the time, I still believed the mainstream idea that Democrats were all about serving the People.

“However, I was shocked to learn that, for the most part, Republicans cared more deeply about their constituents, while Democrats, in my experience, cared more about government power and control. This is my observation on balance, with many stories to back it up. I also found that more Republicans wanted to understand our project’s goals and took the time to learn about the risks of censoring payments and controlling the network. I found myself remarkably aligned with them,” the president of Paypal said in his post.

After that came the coronavirus pandemic, which he credits with further opening his eyes. He made it clear that he’s not a conspiracy theorist, nor does he buy into a lot of the narratives pushed out about the vaccine, however, he says he was offended by the “censorship machine” that was designed to cover up the true origin of the virus and the shaming of those who disagreed with vaccines and lockdowns. He revealed that during the pandemic, he came to a full appreciation for why the GOP places such a high value on freedom of speech and working against censorship.

He then slammed Democrats for spinning false narratives for the sake of pushing their own agenda, saying, “This trend of spinning and manufacturing a parallel reality to serve the Dem agenda, solidified by complicit mainstream media, hit home with the Hunter Biden laptop story, the coordinated vilification of President Trump and his followers, and President Biden’s cognitive decline — depriving voters of a voice in a proper primary. These examples displayed the hubris of the current Dem leadership. You must think the American people are fools to believe the spin on these issues. I despise this elite vs. general population ideology viscerally.”

Later on in the post, he says that he believes our country needs a “President who is unequivocally pro: America, the Constitution, business, Bitcoin/crypto, innovation, Israel, small government, legal immigration, free speech, meritocracy, and common sense — and anti: regulatory proliferation, illegal immigration, unjust wars, Iran’s current regime, and domestic groups that oppose American values. These issues are central to President Trump’s platform.” He then explained that while he is now supporting the GOP and Trump specifically, he’s not in lockstep with all of the beliefs and values of the Republican Party, namely that of abortion.

“Naturally, I disagree with President Trump and the GOP on some issues, particularly women’s reproductive rights. While I’ve come to learn that extreme views exist in both parties, I firmly believe that women should have the unalienable right to make their own decisions on this polarizing topic. President Trump confirmed he was against a national abortion ban and supported the Supreme Court’s decision on maintaining access to mifepristone, which was reassuring and a sign that the party was moving closer to the center,” Marcus wrote.

In the next to last paragraph of the post, Marcus tackles the idea pushed by Democrats that if Trump is elected it will be the end of democracy as we know it. The “alternative — having unelected individuals with this much power and no accountability run our government coupled with four more years of bad policies at home and abroad,” he wrote, “might present a more significant threat. Neither will likely change in a Harris administration and could potentially worsen.”
