Hotelier Robert Bigelow told Reuters on Tuesday he gave Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump $1 million for his legal fees and agreed to donate another $20 million to a pro-Trump outside group for campaign purposes. "I gave him $1 million towards his legal fees a few weeks ago. I made a promise to give him $20 million more, that will be to the super PAC," the Nevada-based owner of Budget Suites of America said in an interview.

Wonder what trumps promised to do for him.

Not only from Budget Suites, but also the recently bankrupt Bigelow Aerospace. They were a cool company that started work on inflatable habitats/workspaces for space. Guess he couldn't keep that going, but still has $20 million to hand out to Trump.

For any space nerds, the inflatables project was taken over by Sierra Space and things are looking promising. 👌 Good riddance to Bigelow.
