In this case, it is also questionable, as those counties that trump lost undoubtedly have a large economic chunk of people in them that voted for trump. I think it would be more useful to see that information on a per-capita basis. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

The ten richest Americans are collectively worth a trillion dollars, and the top 14 are worth $1.2619 trillion. We know Bloomberg's political affiliation as the wealthiest politician in the world. Does anyone know the affiliation of the top 10, or are they simply above politics?
