Construction equipment tycoon and Nevada businessman Don Ahern has been making headlines for his strong support of former President Donald Trump and his hosting of MAGA events at his properties. Despite facing fines for violating COVID-19 restrictions, Ahern remains committed to his beliefs and his support for Trump. His national profile has been growing, with reports of significant donations to Trump’s 2024 campaign and hosting high-dollar fundraisers at his properties.
Ahern’s wealth and influence in the construction industry have allowed him to make major deals, such as selling his company Ahern Rentals for $2 billion and still owning Xtreme Manufacturing and a stake in Snorkel. However, his most prized asset, politically speaking, is his hotel in Las Vegas, which has become a popular venue for conservative events and gatherings. He has hosted events for prominent figures like former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and a controversial Qanon conference.
Despite his rising political profile, Ahern has been a major player in Nevada politics for years, supporting conservative causes and politicians even before Trump entered the scene. Born into a successful business family, Ahern followed in his father’s footsteps and built a successful construction equipment rental business in Las Vegas. Despite facing challenges like bankruptcy during the Great Recession, Ahern managed to restructure his company and emerge successful.
In recent years, Ahern has deepened his involvement in politics, becoming the Finance Chair for the Nevada State Republican party and supporting various Republican candidates, particularly those aligned with Trump and his beliefs. His strong support for Trump, including donations and hosting events, has solidified his reputation as a key player in conservative circles. While facing criticism and legal challenges, Ahern remains steadfast in his beliefs and his admiration for Trump. With his wealth, influence, and political connections, Ahern continues to be a prominent figure in Nevada and national politics.
