Miriam Adelson, billionaire owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, said she is willing to donate $250 million to support a 2028 Trump campaign.
She made the offer Tuesday during a White House Hanukkah celebration, Trump told his guests.
"I met [former Harvard Law School professor] Alan Dershowitz. And he said the legal thing about four more years. And I say, 'Alan, I agree with you.' So, we can do it. Think about it," Adelson told Trump Tuesday at a White House Hanukkah celebration.
"I said, 'Alan, I agree with you.' So, we can do it! Think about it!" she urged Trump, as the crowd chanted, "Four more years!"
"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, an Israeli-American, has been one of Trump's top donors, giving more than $100 million in 2024. She and her late husband, Sheldon Adelson, were also the largest donors to Trump's 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns.
Since Trump will have served two full terms (2017-21 and 2025-29), he's Constitutionally ineligible for a third presidential term in 2028. There's no loophole around that unless the 22nd Amendment was repealed, which is unlikely.
Nonetheless, Trump has joked about a third term and has "Trump 2028" merchandise floating around.
