Billionaire businessman Timothy Mellon , the grandson of Gilded Age plutocrat Andrew Mellon , made a $50 million donation to a pro- Donald Trump super PAC last month, a day after the former president was convicted by a New York jury on 34 felony counts. Mellon had previously donated $25 million to super PACs backing both Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate.
'Mellon even commandeered the use of an entire element of earth—aluminum—through his control of the monopoly aluminum producer Alcoa.' Timothy Mellon's donation to the Make America Great Again Inc. super PAC was the largest single campaign contribution this election cycle and accounted for most of the roughly $70 million that the pro-Trump outfit raised last month.
