When you think of Silicon Valley’s politics, what do you think?
It’s usually left-wing.
VERY left wing.
The coasts are notoriously liberal, and Silicon Valley is one of the bluest places in the country.
Well, the tide is turning and the dam is breaking.
Shaun Maguire is a massively respected venture capital investor in Silicon Valley.
He’s a partner at Sequioa.
And he just announced that he’s donated $300,000 to President Trump’s campaign.
Is that coincidence?
Nope.
He’s publicly stated that his donation is because of this sham trial in New York.
More details below:

After Biden’s disastrous presidency, Trump has a lot of supporters in Silicon Valley; many are just afraid to admit it. But with each act of courage, like this one, the dam begins to break. https://t.co/UcQHNikQlP

Politico confirms that Trump is already fundraising successfully off of this guilty verdict:
Within minutes of the guilty verdict being read in the New York court, the Trump campaign’s official website redirected to a fundraising page declaring he was a “political prisoner.”
“I was just convicted in a RIGGED political Witch Hunt trial: I DID NOTHING WRONG! They’ve raided my home, arrested me, took my mugshot, AND NOW THEY’VE JUST CONVICTED ME!” the page said.
The judge did not order Trump taken into custody after the verdicts Thursday, but set sentencing for July 11. The former president later left the courthouse in a Secret Service motorcade.
The fundraising page also included Trump’s mugshot from when he was arraigned in Georgia last year in a case accusing him of participating in a scheme to overturn the 2020 election results. The page asked for donations of $20.24 and up for Trump’s joint fundraising committee.
NATIONAL POLL: Will You Still Vote For President Trump After “Guilty” Verdict?
Folks, if more high profile people come forward and announce their support for President Trump, you can expect the red wave to grow.
There’s already been a groundswell of support for Trump, and it hasn’t even been 24 hours since the verdict was announced.
What other dominoes are going to fall?
This is big.@shaunmmaguire is a highly respected Silicon Valley VC.
A kangaroo court in NYC handed down an absurd verdict & Shaun wrote a BIG check to support Trump. He also wrote a very smart post about he went from Hillary in 2016 to back DJT today.https://t.co/09rjmpMmGG

Shaun Maguire is well respected and extremely influential.
No one expected him to announce financial support for Trump.
So this raises the question: who else is going to stand up?
Who else is going to stand up against this witch hunt?
Maguire is not going to be the last.
