Politico: Donald Trump's turbulence-filled launch

Donald Trump’s team is starting to institute a new system to better determine who gets access to the former president and who is allowed on his Palm Beach property, following the dinner he held with prominent white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.

The scramble to put in place better filters, described by three people familiar with it, is the latest fallout from a meal that has roiled Trump’s nascent presidential campaign and raised questions about the operation around him.

In the two weeks since Trump announced his third presidential candidacy, he has been weighed down by a series of self-inflicted wounds. He has been blamed for a lackluster GOP midterm performance after a number of candidates he endorsed lost high profile races. His announcement speech failed to capture widespread party enthusiasm. He faced a barrage of bad legal news. And his long-planned dinner with Ye, better known as Kanye West, launched a week’s worth of nightmare headlines — and new questions about his fitness for office — after it was revealed Fuentes joined them for turkey and stuffing, too.

“It’s been a disaster,” said a person close to the campaign.

I just saw a few snips.

Where was his bluster, swagger, and enthusiasm? He sounds need bored out of his mind.


(just pointing it out, and wondering.. certainly happy -
if it contributes to his defeat
