US President Donald Trump (R) gestures as he talks with US Ambassador to the United Kingdom Woody Johnson (L) preparing to board Marine One to depart the US ambassador's residence Winfield House in London on July 13, 2018. Billionaire and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is part of a very small group within former President Donald Trump's inner circle: Wealthy supporters who are willing to invest their own personal capital to convince Republican megadonors to donate to Trump's presidential campaign. "The sales pitch from team Johnson has been 'it's going to be Trump based on the polling. Are you just not going to get on the train as Trump heads to be the nominee?'" But not Johnson.
