IKE PERLMUTTER FIRST BIG DONOR FOR NEW SUPER PAC BACKING DONALD TRUMP

Ike Perlmutter, the billionaire former Marvel CEO, and best friend of Donald
Trump is the biggest donor towards Trumps' new Super PAC.

ARTICLE SUMMARY

 * Ike Perlmutter, ex-Marvel CEO, donates to Super PAC supporting Trump.
 * Right For America Super PAC aims to back Trump in the 2024 election.
 * Super PAC led by Sergio Gor, includes other high-profile supporters.
 * Perlmutter has a history of substantial donations to pro-Trump efforts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ike Perlmutter, the billionaire former Marvel CEO, Disney's biggest solo
shareholder who is trying to get back on the board, longstanding Mar-A-Lago
member, and best friend of Donald Trump has a new thing he is getting involved
with. A new Super PAC, Right For America, is to support Trump with plans to
advertise during the presidential general election and first reported by Axios.

Last year, a spokesman for Perlmutter told CNBC that Ike was planning a key
donation to back Donald Trump's 2024 run for President and that the sum would be
"meaningful". Ike Perlmutter had previously donated $10.5 million toward a
pro-Trump super PAC during the 2020 election cycle under his name, with his wife
Laura Perlmutter donating another $10.5 million.

The New York Times reports sources telling them that Right For America is being
supported by Ike Perlmutter and led by Trump ally Sergio Gor. Gor runs Winning
Team Publishing with Donald Trump Jr, the publisher of both of Trump's
post-White House books. Also on the Right For America board is Lee Rizzuto, 
Trump's consul general in Bermuda, and Anthony Lomangino, a New York refuse and
recycling mogul. They also report that Trump has told people that Ike
Perlmutter's media associates in Hollywood and beyond will be involved in making
the commercials.

Super PACs, also known as "independent expenditure-only political action
committees", may raise unlimited amounts from individuals, corporations, unions,
and other groups to spend on anything, including ads and marketing, advocating
for or against political candidates. They are not allowed to either coordinate
with or contribute directly to candidate campaigns or political parties. Which
may be interesting when Trump is in Mar-A-Lago… and so is this group. Perlmutter
is often seen dining with Trump. But I'm sure they will keep it
non-professional.

Back in 2017, Trump shared his Thanksgiving dinner with Ike and Laura Perlmutter
at Mar-A-Lago instead of his family, Laura was on Trump's Inaugural committee,
and Ike was controversially put in charge of Veteran's Affairs as part of
Trump's first administration. They also donated $6 million to Trump's first
campaign, $15 million to his 2020 Super PAC, and a third of all donations to the
Trump Foundation as well as $50,000 to Miles Of Greatness Fund in support
of Texan Republican Representative Ronny Jackson, over a million to Trump For
Victory, $76,000 to the Republican National Committee,  $11,200 for Texans
For Ronny Jackson, half a million to the Republican National Committee, and
another $11,200 to Donald Trump For President.
