President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Israeli-American donor Miriam Adelson offered him “another $250 million” to run for a third term in the White House.
Speaking to Trump at the White House Hanukkah reception, Adelson revealed that she recently met with former Jeffrey Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who spoke “about four more years.”
“I said, ‘Alan, I agree with you.’ So, we can do it! Think about it!” she urged Trump, as the crowd broke into a very half-hearted chant of, “Four more years!”
Adelson could then be seen speaking quietly into Trump’s ear, before the president announced, “She said, ‘Think about it, I’ll give you another $250 million.'”
“I will give,” replied Adelson.
“But her husband Sheldon was an amazing guy, and he’d come up to the office, and there was nobody more aggressive than Sheldon,” Trump continued:
Adelson and her husband, the late billionaire Sheldon Adelson, were the largest donors to Trump’s 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, with the president returning the favor by awarding Mrs. Adelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018.
Following her husband’s death in 2021, Adelson continued to be one of Trump’s largest donors, donating more than $100 million in 2024.
