Trump frustrated with pace of super PAC


BY BRETT SAMUELS - 03/25/21 11:08 AM EDT

Former President Donald Trump is growing frustrated with the lack of movement around a new super PAC intended to further solidify his influence over the GOP, according to two people familiar with the conversations.

Trump advisers first shared the plans in late February for a super PAC as part of a post-presidency political operation. Trump told allies at the time that he'd chosen his one-time campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to run the organization, but roughly one month later, the 45th president has started lashing out about the lack of movement on the project, sources said.

The sources, one of which heard the comments from Trump directly, said the former president is agitated that there has been little tangible or visible progress on establishing the super PAC and ramping up activity in the month since the idea for the new super PAC was first made public.

“He’s lashing out that nothing’s happening. He viewed this super PAC as something that’s supposed to have his back, and it’s nowhere to be found,” one source said.

And the stupid money is already tapped out. Now, if we can get the popular media to ignore this ambulatory carbuncle, perhaps we can get started on missing him (I won't miss him).

Every penny of this will end up in Trump's pockets. Will be the biggest political grift in history. I hope 100% of GOP money flows through this, they'll have nothing to spend on elections if it does.

This is so unlike him, being a stable genius and all.

Without Twitter, and with half the qpublican party lodged in his ass, the poor dear must feel terribly constipated.

And he wants it done now. He still thinks he is chief executive and everyone should do what he says.
