Thiel defends Trump, warns that movement 'not going away' post-election

Billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel offered up a defense of Donald Trump and his support for the GOP nominee in a speech Monday in Washington, arguing that no matter what happens in the Nov. 8 election, what Trump represents “is not going away.”

Throughout his nearly hour-long event at the National Press Club, Thiel spoke out about why Trump resonates with him and voters, all the while predicting a “new Republican Party” that will follow after the November election no matter what happens to Trump. He argued that while Trump is by no means humble personally, his policies will lead to humility.
