What does Trump owe people like Sacks? They helped, but perhaps some politicians, after winning, would want to reduce their perceived debt by saying Well, it wasn't enough to push me over the line, I could have done it without, but including and accepting help from all the contributors might be a counterargument to that. If a politician had rejected a Sacks or someone, or tried to downplay their contribution, other people who also helped would have not wanted to contribute or help the candidate. ... Anyway, none of that seems to actually apply to Trump, who is giving out cabinet positions and things. He probably is going to focus on the bigger, more important things, and let other people handle and get credit for smaller or more technical things.
