Donald Trump's millionaire supporters are deserting the President over government dysfunction

Related imageWhen he was running for the White House, Donald Trump used to constantly brag about how wealthy he was.
“I don’t need anybody’s money. I’m really rich,” he would say. “I don’t need anybody’s money, I don’t need lobbyists’ money.” He said he was not boasting, but that this was the “kind of mindset you need” in America.
Mr Trump may be a little disappointed, therefore, to learn that his support among other rich people appears to be declining. A survey conducted for CNBC found that millionaires were having growing
worries about Mr Trump because of apparent government dysfunction.
It said that when they were asked to score Mr Trump’s first 100 days, the President ranked 38 on a scale of 1 to 100. When the survey then looked at “pro-Trump” and “anti-Trump” attitudes, 50 per cent of millionaires said they were now opposed to the President. Just 29 per cent said they considered themselves pro-Trump, according to the poll.
