Trump heads to Silicon Valley fundraiser on wave of support

Public support for Donald Trump used to be scarce in Silicon Valley, the land of tech billionaires, but something of a systems reboot is taking place.

“Nobody’s excited about Biden right now,” claimed David Sacks, an influential investor, on his popular All In podcast. “There’s a lot of people who I do think support Trump.”

The billionaire venture capitalist is holding a fundraiser for Trump at his mansion on “billionaire’s row” in San Francisco on Thursday evening.

Tickets are reportedly selling for up to $300,000 (£234,000). It is his first fundraiser since being convicted on all 34 criminal charges in the New York hush-money trial.

The event has drawn controversy in the famously left-wing American city.

A 10-metre (33 foot) inflatable chicken that bears a passing resemblance to the former president and sports a striped prisoner’s uniform will be there to greet him mockingly when he arrives to drum up dollars for his current presidential run.
