The future negotiator-in-chief is so good at making deals that he gave $50,000 to a SuperPac that Karl Rove was selling to donors in 2010.
The campaign contribution website Open Secrets noted that he was a major donor to the right-wing SuperPac, American Crossroads:
Donald Trump, the New York real estate developer and star of the reality TV series The Apprentice, who gave the group $50,000 on Oct. 13.
They later noted that Karl Rove was among their fundraisers:
American Crossroads is headed by top GOP operative Steven Law. It has also been aggressively pitched to donors by Karl Rove, President George W. Bush’s political strategist, and former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie.
But Trump has been absolutely blasting Karl Rove as a complete loser for years:
Karl Rove –lost GOP both Houses of Congress and the White House–gave us Obama.

Obama is laughing at Karl Rove & all the losers who spent hundreds of millions of dollars and didn’t win one race, including the big one!

Why are people giving money to Karl Rove when he just wasted $400M without any victories? Use your head.

Karl Rove is a total loser. Money given to him might as well be thrown down the drain.

But if Trump is so brilliant then why was he throwing his money down Karl Rove’s drain?
Karl Rove’s strategy and commercials were the worst I have ever seen.

Maybe he’s angry that he got bamboozled by Rove…
