The spinning roulette wheel of what Donald Trump will be angry about online just after he wakes up landed on the billionaire GOP-backing Koch Brothers on Tuesday morning. In his attack, Trump described the megadonors as “globalists,” just days after the brothers’ deep-pocketed Koch Network distanced itself at its annual summit from Trump’s presidency, calling his administration “divisive” and saying it may support Democratic candidates if their interests happen to align. “The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade,” Trump posted. “I never sought their support because I don’t need their money or bad ideas. They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks & more. I made them richer. Their network is highly overrated, I have beaten them at every turn. They want to protect their companies outside the U.S. from being taxed, I’m for America First & the American Worker - a puppet for no one. Two nice guys with bad ideas. Make America Great Again!”
