an angry, bitter little trump seems to think it is!
despite being 'close friends with Adelson and her husband for many years (yes, we know trump is incapable of true friendship... it's always transactional), even giving her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018.
one of the texts' content was basically 'wtf! your late husband would never have allowed those people to be hired!'

The angry former president targeted Miriam Adelson, one of the Republican Party’s wealthiest backers, over claims that her $100m “Preserve America” PAC was being run by “RINOs”—Republicans In Name Only, The New York Times reported.
Adelson, who with her family has a net worth currently calculated by Forbes as $27.5 billion had re-activated the Preserve America PAC after Nikki Haley dropped out of the presidential race and had already started spending large sums on pro-Trump ads in key swing states. The PAC is expected to spend as much as $100m in the run-up to the election, Politico reported in May. The value of Adelson’s personal contributions were unclear, although she was reported by Politico to be planning to spend as much as $90m for the PAC and wider Republican causes.
The messages were sent just a week after Adelson and Trump had had a “friendly” meeting at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, and as the PAC spent $18m in a blitz of TV ads. One of the ads claimed Kamala Harris, freshly announced as the Democratic candidate, “overwhelmed hospitals” with “illegal immigrants.”
But those around Trump fear that the key development since the RNC—Pres. Joe Biden stepping aside to make way for Vice Pres. Kamala Harris at the top of the Democratic ticket—has made Trump so angry that he “is susceptible” to manipulation by those around him.
or, to sum up, "fucking rich old octogenarians persuade another, less rich fucking old almost-octogenarian to bitch-blast wealthy-as-fuck WOMAN mega donor saying 'Your husband wouldn't have done it that way!"In the case of the texts to Adelson, The Times reported that Adelson’s aides had “discovered” that Ike Perlmutter, the former Marvel Entertainment boss and a Mar-a-Lago member who is a longtime friend of Trump, had encouraged the text, apparently because he wanted Adelson to contribute to a different super PAC. Perlmutter, 81, was also involved in the failed bid by another billionaire octogenarian Trump associate, Nelson Peltz, 82, to force Bob Iger out as CEO of Disney.
