Doug Burgum Makes the Case for Trump: ‘If You’re a Billionaire and You Care About Your Shareholders…’

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum implored billionaires to support former President Donald Trump for the sake of shareholders and general prosperity.

Burgum, a billionaire who ran for the Republican presidential nomination this cycle, appeared on Tuesday’s edition of The Ingraham Angle on Fox News.

“Your message to billionaires across this country,” Laura Ingraham prompted, “So many of them are adamantly supporting Biden still, especially the Wall Street types. I know you know a lot of these folks. What’s your message?”

Burgum replied:

Well, I wish that they had gotten the opportunity to know President Trump the way the First Lady and I have because when you see someone who cares this deeply about this country, what he’s going through, and what the Democrats and the liberal media is putting him through, and how he gets up and fights for everyday people in America every day.

And then his policies are all in the right direction. If you’re a billionaire and you care about your shareholders, you care about your family, you care about your grandkids, you should be voting for someone that’s going to bring prosperity to America and peace to the world. That’s what President Trump is going to do. That’s what he did for us when he was president.

The governor struck a slightly different note in the past. When asked in July if he would ever do business with Trump, Burgum was clear.

“I don’t think so,” he replied. “I just think that it’s important that you’re judged by the company you keep.”

The former president faces 88 criminal counts in four jurisdictions and has pleaded not guilty to all counts. He is headed for a rematch of the 2020 election against President Joe Biden in November.
