Trump didn't only endorse Mark Robinson

He handpicked him. By endorsing, praising and urging his supporters to support and vote for Robinson in the Gubernatorial Primary, Trump put his thumb on the scale and his cult followed. This shows all Americans Trump's continued lack of judgement.

I wish the media would stop using the description of endorsed in this story. The phrase should be, "Mark Robinson, Trump's handpicked candidate for Governor of North Carolina."

some bad blood there. Kevin Roberts' book was postponed which basically killed it. It won't worth much if he ever puts it out.

That cuts both ways. Roberts lost a boatload of money. Project 2025 blew up on them and Trump must have trusted them to know what they are doing.

That book with Vance's forward was supposed to help Trump. They must have way overestimated what people would tolerate from them.
