Trouble in paradise?
Per Playbook this am:
Jr's g/f Kimberly Guilfoyle has joined Eric Greitens' Missouri Senate campaign as Nat'l Chair
Trump doesn't support him & won't endorse him
Also, Greitens did this⬇️
So.. perfectly on brand for Guilfoyle?
apnews.com/article/chris-…
2/ Playbook: "One Trump adviser said Greitens has the disadvantage of being associated with MIKE PENCE because his former chief of staff, NICK AYERS, ran his gubernatorial campaign.
3/"Multiple advisers said Trump has been concerned that attaching Guilfoyle’s name to Greitens will look like an implicit endorsement from him.

apnews.com/article/joe-bi…
2/"Back home, Georgia’s first Black senator is more subtle, pitching a ‘comprehensive view of infrastructure’ and avoiding talk of his reelection fight already looming just months after he won a January special election runoff with Senate control at stake.

Per ProPublica:
More evidence of what we know to be true:
Sr Trump officials were warned that 1/6 could turn chaotic
Instead of stopping the march Trump and his allies "fooled" the USCP
& accommodated the Stop the Steal leaders
(thread)
propublica.org/article/new-de…
2/"ProPublica has obtained new details about the Trump White House’s knowledge of the gathering storm, after interviewing more than 50 people involved in the events of Jan. 6 and reviewing months of private correspondence.
3/"Taken together, these accounts suggest that senior Trump aides had been warned the Jan. 6 events could turn chaotic, with tens of thousands of people potentially overwhelming ill-prepared law enforcement officials.
