Will This Get Mika's Attention? 

When a billionaire got a private meeting with Hillary, millions went into the Clinton Fuondation to pay for speeches by Bill and Hillary.

When a billionaire gets a private meeting with Trump (who is not even president yet), "we" -- the United States -- gets a pledge of $50 billion for US investment and a promise to create 50,000 US jobs.

Story here.

I really don't care for the politics, per se, of this story. What fascinates me is how fast the world is changing. Note:

In an interview, Mr. Son said the money will be coming from a $100 billion investment fund he is setting up with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign-wealth fund and other potential partners. 

That's pretty special. A $100 billion investment fund -- half from SoftBank (Japanese) and half from the Mideast (Saudi Arabia) -- to be invested in the US.

With the new $100 billion fund—dubbed the SoftBank Vision Fund—Mr. Son plans to spend heavily in fields including the so-called Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, deep learning and robotics. He has said he wants to become the Warren Buffett of the tech industry.

SoftBank plans to invest at least $25 billion over the next five years in the fund, while Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund may contribute an additional $45 billion over the same period as the fund’s lead partner.

Two words: Bakken revolution. 

At some point, Trump's detractors may start to take notice. And all of this before he is even president.

And no phony Trump Foundation.
