Robert Mercer is THE RICHEST GUN IN THE WEST

摘要

Robert Mercer probably would have flown into Roswell. From there-1,800 miles from home-he would've traveled south through the high desert plains of southeast New Mexico, flat as a tortilla, past abandoned homesteads and irrigation machines moving in slow circles.His phone reception would've gotten spotty when he turned left off Highway 285. He would've seen the bare limbs of a pecan orchard and a graveyard decked in plastic flowers. At the town hall in Lake Arthur, population 433, he would've met Police Chief William Norwood, the department's sole full-time employee, a barrel-chested man with two spare rifle magazines on his belt. There, Mercer, the fabulously wealthy computer scientist who helped bankroll the election of President Donald Trump, would've reported for duty as a volunteer policeman.
