Hello everyone, you won’t believe the political shockwave that just hit the nation! In a twist no one saw coming, David Marcus, the longtime president of PayPal and a known mega-donor for left-wing candidates, has thrown his support behind former President Donald Trump. Yes, you read that right. Marcus took to social media platform X to make his bombshell announcement, stating he would not support Vice President Kamala Harris in her White House bid but would instead back the GOP nominee, Donald Trump.
BREAKING: The former President of PayPal David Marcus ENDORSES Trump for President! LFG!

Marcus’s post was nothing short of groundbreaking. He started by sharing his journey from being a staunch Democrat to endorsing a Republican candidate. “Many — including a former version of myself — get trapped in a mental framework that becomes their identity and prevents them from radically evolving their thinking with new facts and information. I finally broke free from it,” Marcus wrote. He described his political transformation as a gradual 180-degree turn spurred by a process of disenchantment and reevaluation of lifelong beliefs.
In a detailed recount, Marcus revealed that in 2017, he was recruited to pitch the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to raise $100 million from Silicon Valley’s elite to revamp their tech and CRM platform post-Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign disaster. However, the DNC’s reluctance to earmark the funds for tech advancements, instead of wanting it for the general fund, marked the beginning of his political awakening. This revelation was only the start of Marcus’s disillusionment with the Democrats.
His stint at Meta, post-Libra white paper announcement, further deepened his political evolution. Engaging with lawmakers and members of both administrations in Washington D.C., Marcus noticed a stark contrast: Republicans, he observed, were more genuinely concerned about their constituents compared to their Democratic counterparts, who seemed more interested in governmental power and control.
The COVID-19 pandemic was a critical eye-opener for Marcus. He voiced his frustration over the “censorship machine” that suppressed discussions about the virus’s origins and the vilification of those questioning vaccines and lockdowns. This period cemented his understanding of the GOP’s emphasis on free speech and anti-censorship.
Marcus did not hold back on criticizing the Democrats for manipulating narratives to fit their agenda, citing examples like the Hunter Biden laptop controversy, the demonization of President Trump and his supporters, and President Biden’s cognitive challenges. He condemned what he saw as the Democratic leadership’s arrogance and their disconnect from the American people.
Marcus outlined his vision for America, emphasizing the need for a president who supports American values, the Constitution, business, innovation, and free speech, among other principles. He argued that these values are central to Trump’s platform despite disagreeing with the GOP on some issues, particularly women’s reproductive rights. Marcus praised Trump for his stance against a national abortion ban and his support for maintaining access to mifepristone.
He also challenged the narrative that Trump’s election would spell doom for democracy. Instead, Marcus argued that the real threat lies in allowing unelected individuals with unchecked power to continue running the government, potentially exacerbating bad policies at home and abroad under a Harris administration.
Here is his full post. Fascinating read. Let’s hope more people open their eyes to see the left for what it truly is.
I am crossing the Rubicon and backing the Republican Party and President Trump.
