The number of people who supported Trump in 2016 when he was faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, said Judge Curiel couldn't be impartial because of his family heritage, targeted a Gold Star family and questioned whether the Muslim mother was told to be silent ...1/
2...said any number of controversial things and whose campaign was plagued by debilitating leaks describing Trump's behavior as erratic, who currently say he's changed for the worse, in order to explain their break with him, is something.
Point being, it's hard to see what the change is that they're referring to that precipitated the break but didn't make things that they find disqualifying now a problem back then.

SpaceX engineer and current SGE Chris Stanley, who’s worked with DOGE, created a stir when his visit to the roof of the EEOB to explore installing Starlink there in Feb tripped off a USSS alarm. nytimes.com/2025/03/17/us/…

Marckesano's gravestone appeared in photos posted online of Trump standing in Section 60 at the adjacent gravesite of a sergeant whose family welcomed Trump. The Marckesanos weren't asked; video of the back of his gravestone appeared in a Trump Tik-Tok nytimes.com/2024/08/28/us/…

At a fundraiser last weekend, Trump, asked for his positive vision for the country, slammed Harris and said, “I am who I am.” A week earlier, he had an aide send a startled Miriam Adelson texts accusing her of having RINOs running her super PaC nytimes.com/2024/08/10/us/…
The texts to Miriam Adelson were sent from Natalie Harp. Adelson advisers believed something seemed off, and called Ike Perlmutter, who they learned had encouraged it. Perlmutter acknowledged doing just that, per two people w knowledge nytimes.com/2024/08/10/us/…
In December, the Times captured here the body of work that, led by @jonathanvswan, he and @charlie_savage and I began in June 2023 on what a Trump return to office would look like. That overview is here nytimes.com/article/trump-…
We have looked at how Trump has promised a special prosecutor to "go after" the Bidens and his desire to erode the post-Watergate norm of Justice Department independence 1/ nytimes.com/2023/06/15/us/…

Fundraising that didn’t meet expectations and spending that was profligate. A campaign manager now under fire. And a candidate for a second time in weeks expected to engage with a mainstream media he has disdained. @ShaneGoldmacher and me nytimes.com/2023/07/23/us/…
The bizarre anti LGBT video that appeared to have been picked up by DeSantis War Room from a friendly Twitter user was actually made by a campaign aide and made to look like it came from elsewhere, a person w knowledge of what happened said nytimes.com/2023/07/23/us/…
That the campaign did not hit expected fund-raising targets — and spent exorbitantly — caught the candidate and his wife by surprise, a person with knowledge of their reactions said. nytimes.com/2023/07/23/us/…
Trump tells me minutes ago he has NOT been told he’s getting indicted, when contacted. “It’s not true,” he said, adding again he hasn’t done anything wrong.
Trump statement came amid a report from one of his allies that he has been told this. NYT, CNN, WaPo and other outlets have all reported federal officials have been building toward a likely indictment, including with witnesses in Miami before a grand jury today.
When I asked if he had been told he’s a target, he demurred, saying he doesn’t talk directly to prosecutors.
