Billionaire Republican donor abandons the GOP: 'Trump belongs in jail'

A prized GOP donor wants Donald Trump to serve a term in the big house, not the White House.

Hedge fund billionaire investor Leon Cooperman is fearful of the 45th president becoming the 47th.

“It would be terrible for the country if Donald Trump were reelected,” Cooperman told CNN in a rare public rebuke by a deep-pocketed Republican donor. “He’s a divisive human being who belongs in jail.”

Cooperman expressed frustration over a Biden-Trump rematch in 2024, likening them both to “bad choices.”

He told CNN that come November, he expects neither Trump (who is the current frontrunner in the race) nor Biden will be their party's nominee.

And if they are the only two — he will abstain from voting entirely.

“I’m looking for centrists, not radical left or right,” he said.

Federal records show that Cooperman already donated $1,000 to former Gov. Chris Christie’s 2024 campaign over the summer.

Cooperman admitted that he was so anti-Trump back in 2020 that he ended up going for the current president.

"I voted for Biden very reluctantly," he said in an interview with Patrick Bet-David from last year.

He continued: "It was a vote against Trump, to be honest with you.

"I think the saddest thing for our country with 330-odd million people — we had these two choices."

A Trump spokesman countered Cooperman, offering a statement to the outlet arguing Trump “will be the nominee and will beat Biden because he’s the only person who can supercharge the economy, secure our border, safeguard communities and put an end to unnecessary wars.”

“Americans want to return to a prosperous nation, and there’s only one person who can do that – President Trump."
