I have no doubt this is true, but are they equally enthused about the money they paid for their MAGA hat going to Don Jr.'s defense fund? Wasn’t he supposed to be isolated from the White House and running the family business? ---

> [@JRDelirious](#): > > I can imagine a large number of Trump supporters would be fine and dandy with their donations being used to assist their Unfairhaired Champion in any way possible to gain and hold power. I was trolling the RNC for a time last summer and as a result I was on the Trump campaign mailing list. Every single day I got an e-mail promising that Donald J Trump would personally match every single donation. I’m pretty sure that was a lie, but apparently he got away with it. They don’t care. ---

Wasn’t he supposed to be isolated from the White House and running the family business? You’re giving them credit for thinking things through. They don’t. They don’t have to because they believe every golden, honeyed word that drips from DJT’s mouth. As **Ann Hedonia** points out here: > [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > I was trolling the RNC for a time last summer and as a result I was on the Trump campaign mailing list.

I see the [Rogue POTUS Staff twitter account](https://twitter.com/roguepotusstaff) has gone largely silent since Reince’s departure. Coincidence? Hmm? _HMMMMM?_ Probably. ---

And, Scaramucci is out, after only ten days, apparently fired by new Chief of Staff John Kelly. Wow. > **[Anthony Scaramucci sacked as Trump media chief](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40782299)** > > The White House communications chief pays the price for a foul-mouthed tirade. ---

Wow. > > [Anthony Scaramucci sacked as Trump media chief](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40782299) I wonder if old Reince will send him a sympathy card.
