Meet Trump's New Sugar Daddy

Robert Mercer is a right-wing oligarch who loves bribing politicians so he can make more money at the expense of everyone else. He recently went ahead and bought himself a slightly used Trump campaign. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. tytnetwork.com/...
"THE NEW YORK Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post have all noticed that Robert Mercer, co-CEO of the giant hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, has emerged as a key backer of Donald Trump.
Mercer, who first spent over $10 million trying to make Ted Cruz president,just gave $2 million to a Super PAC supporting Trump. Mercer is also a top investor in the Breitbart News Network. According to the Post, Mercer’s daughter Rebekah nudged Trump to bring in Stephen Bannon, Breitbart’s executive chairman, to run his campaign.
But here’s what the mainstream media won’t tell you: Robert Mercer and his daughter have also funded a gigantic stockpile of human urine in Oregon.
The urine stockpile is the project of Arthur Robinson, a chemist and founder of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine. Starting in 2005, the Mercer Family Foundation contributed at least $1.4 million to OISM, enabling Robinson to buy freezers to store his 14,000 samples of urine.
Robinson wants still more urine, as much as possible, and issues frequentappeals to the public to contribute. According to the OISM newsletter, Robinson is collecting it in order to “calibrate analytical procedures that can revolutionize the evaluation of personal chemistry - and thereby improve our health, our happiness and prosperity, and even the academic performance of our children in school.””*

    If you fill out the Trump Debate Strategy Survey, you will have the pleasure of a flood of Trump emails begging for money. And if you use the Other option on the questions, you can send him personal messages about how he should fake a heart attack and drop out of the race before it's too late. And more surveys, too! I'm planning on answering the next one in limericks.

    Are people like Mercer greedy? Actually not really. Most human beings tend to hold less empathy to people they don't know. However, for people like Mercer, that trait is amplified. To them, this is just a game. Do you care what happens to side-characters when you're playing a game? Of course not. You do what you need to do to "win"; kill, steal, cheat. Whatever you gotta do, you do it, because it's just a game.
