The event marked a significant shift in support for Trump and showcased the dissatisfaction of tech leaders towards President Joe Biden.

The fundraiser, held at the lavish Pacific Heights residence of David Sacks, a well-known figure in San Francisco's business and high-tech community, was attended by some of the most respected minds in the industry. Trump hailed these tech leaders as "brilliant guys" who are at the forefront of innovation, emphasizing their discontentment with President Biden.

According to Trump, Sacks' endorsement holds great significance, as he is considered the "king of that world." Sacks, in a statement, outlined his reasons for endorsing Trump, citing issues crucial to American prosperity, security, and stability where he believes Biden's administration has gone off course.

The tickets for the sold-out event ranged from $50,000 per person to a whopping $500,000 per couple for special access as part of the host committee. The immense show of support from attendees reflected their appreciation for Trump's policies during his time in office, particularly in the realm of high technology.

Trump highlighted the importance of his tenure for the tech industry, asserting that his four years in office were the best ever for high tech. He credited his administration's commitment to reducing regulations as a key factor in the industry's success, as excessive regulations hinder growth and innovation.

Driving through the traditionally blue city, Trump noted a heartwarming reception from the people of San Francisco. He recounted how thousands of individuals lined the streets, cheering and waving with love; an unexpected outpouring of support that touched him deeply.

With this successful fundraiser and the endorsement of a top Silicon Valley venture capitalist, Trump solidifies his position as a contender to reckon with ahead of the upcoming November elections. The event showcased the unwavering loyalty of his supporters and the growing disillusionment with the current administration among influential figures in the tech industry.

As the race intensifies in key swing states like Arizona, Florida, and Nevada, Trump's ability to secure such significant endorsements and raise substantial funds will undoubtedly bolster his campaign. The former president remains confident in his leadership, supported by what he considers the most brilliant minds in the industry, and is poised to continue his quest to for a return to the White House.
