Not sure where to post this. It’s definitely worth noticing: > [@](#): > > # Team Trump to GOP megadonors: Ignore what the candidate says > > Members of Team Trump expect the former president to say radical and ridiculous things in the coming months. They’re asking megadonors not to care. > > … > … > … > NBC News reports: > > “A top adviser to Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign has a message for some of the wealthiest Republican donors in the country: Don’t take the former president’s divisive rhetoric too seriously. … Speaking at the luxurious Four Seasons hotel in Palm Beach, Florida, [Susie] Wiles encouraged the powerful donors to essentially ignore Trump’s more offensive remarks and focus instead on the fact that the former president is in pole position in the Republican primary for president, according to people familiar with her remarks.” > > … > … > … > As the Republican tries to return to the White House, his team’s position hasn’t changed much. Members of his campaign operation seem to realize that Trump will spend the next several months saying ridiculous, offensive, and potentially even dangerous things, and they’d appreciate it if the party’s megadonors didn’t pay too much attention when this inevitably happens. > > Not to put too fine a point on this, but there is no modern precedent for a national campaign effectively telling campaign contributors, “Please ignore all the crazy stuff our boss is poised to say between now and Election Day.” > **[Team Trump to GOP megadonors: Ignore what the candidate says](https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/team-trump-gop-megadonors-ignore-candidate-says-rcna136966)** > > Members of Team Trump expect the former president to say radical and ridiculous things in the coming months.
