Billionaires Rally Behind Trump Despite Guilty Verdict

TL;DR Summary
While some Wall Street billionaires openly support Donald Trump, most top executives at publicly traded companies are cautious due to potential public backlash. Trump's recent conviction may slightly erode his support among the electorate and complicate financial backing from Wall Street. Despite this, Trump's campaign saw a fundraising surge post-verdict, setting a new Republican record. However, concerns remain about his appeal to independent voters needed for a general election win.
