First enemies, then friends, casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson and President Donald Trump are now back to being frenemies.
Fragile Adelson-Trump alliance begins to crackHaaretz reported that the cracks began to form in Adelson and Trump’s
unholy alliance when the latter snubbed the casino billionaire’s recommendations for top administration posts in the White House.
Adelson, who donated tens of millions of dollars to Trump’s presidential campaign kitty and another $5 million to the
President’s inaugural celebration, was displeased over the fact that his people were not hired by Trump’s White House.
He ate his pride and decided to stick with Trump since the latter promised to move the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Trump’s promise was repeated over and over again in his presidential campaign.
But Trump’s promise never came to fruition. In fact, the US president has taken a much more cautious approach and has not repeated
his commitment to move the embassy.
This, according to three sources close to Adelson, was the final straw for the casino mogul.
They say Adelson was now “angry and disappointed.” The money that once flowed freely out of Adelson’s pocket for Trump’s projects has suddenly dried up, according to the report.
