Shaun Maguire, partner at Silicon Valley VC firm Sequoia Capitol, announced on X that he donated $300,000 to former President Donald Trump in the wake of the New York City verdict in a weaponized case brought by liberal extremist Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
“I just donated $300k to President Trump,” posted Maguire. “The timing isn’t a coincidence.”

Maguire went on to write that he thinks “this is one of the most important elections” of his lifetime.
“I know that I’ll lose friends for this. Some will refuse to do business with me.,” wrote Maguire. “The media will probably demonize me, as they have so many others before me. But despite this, I still believe it’s the right thing to do.”
“I refuse to live in a society where people are afraid to speak,” wrote Maguire.
Maguire, who says he supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and was so “disillusioned” that he didn’t vote in 2020, laid out a variety of reasons for supporting Trump in 2024, ranging from January 6 to foreign policy to “lawfare.”
“This is too broad of a topic to go into detail here, but suffice to say I’ve spent hundreds of hours following the trials and researching the charges against Trump,” wrote Maguire. “This has been another radicalizing experience. I understand that normally when there’s smoke there’s fire, but in this case I think when there’s smoke there’s lawfare.”
Maguire has been a partner at Sequoia since 2019. Located in Menlo Park, Calif., Sequoia specializes in seed stage, early stage, and growth stage investments and reportedly has more than $85 billion in assets under management. Founded in 1971, Sequoia was one of the frst investors in Atari and an early investor in Apple.
“I know that I’ll lose friends for this. Some will refuse to do business with me,” wrote Maguire. “The media will probably demonize me, as they have so many others before me.”

Who? And $300K buys 10 minutes of radio ad time.
Atari is now owned by Hasbro. You know. Furbys.
Ah, yes, another virtue-signaling Cali resident. Where was he when J6 defendants couldn’t get fair trials? Where was he when LAUSD failed every single student? What about Peter Navarro? Is there anything more dangerous to republican values than a naive man with too much money and absolutely NO wisdom?
