Pardon me for gloating about having renamed the former GOP, the POT (party of Trump), many months ago. As much as it was clear to me he was in total control back then even I am surprised at this.
Donald Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the Republican National Committee on Monday began the process of pushing out dozens of officials, according to two people close to the Trump campaign and the RNC.
All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go. Those being asked to resign include five members of the senior staff, though the names were not made public. Additionally, some vendor contracts are expected to be cut.
Trump’s campaign took over operational control of the RNC on Monday. On Friday, former North Carolina GOP Chair Michael Whatley was elected the RNC’s new chair, and Trump daughter-in-law Lara Trump was elected as co-chair. Both had Trump’s endorsement. Additionally, Trump senior campaign adviser Chris LaCivita was named as the RNC’s new chief of staff.
Memo to all the down ballot Repubs expecting help from the party. You're fucked.
The resources of the POT, to the extent there are any, will henceforth be directed at keeping Dear Leader out of prison. The takeover is now complete in ways that are completely antithetical to the way a national party's apparatus is suppose to function. That loud sucking sound is Don directing the party's money to himself.
