San Fran Leftists Triggered as Tech Billionaire Calls for National Guard Troops
12th October 2025
A long-left-leaning billionaire philanthropist has triggered San Francisco politicians by praising President Trump’s performance in office — and even more so by urging Trump to deploy National Guard soldiers to suppress the city’s rampant criminality.
“I fully support the president,” said Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff in an interview with the New York Times. “I think he’s doing a great job.” That puts Benioff at stark odds with his fellow San Franciscans: In a June Public Policy Institute of California poll, 77% of Bay Area residents disapproved of Trump’s performance. Benioff recounted his recent honor of sitting across a table from Trump at a state dinner hosted by King Charles at Windsor Castle, and said he used the dinner to tell Trump “how grateful I am for everything he’s doing.”
The reason Democrat politicians prefer criminals to billionaires is (a) there are more criminals than billionaires, hence more votes, (b) criminals are more stupid than billionaires, hence more likely to vote for Democrats, and (c) there are enough foolish billionaires that will make massive political contributions to Democrats (Lenin’s ‘useful idiots’) that they’ll still rake in the bucks. No downside.
