Donald Trump is proving to be a very hard sell for a lot of longtime Republican donors, including at least one who believes hes the second coming of Mussolini. Buzzfeeds Ben Smith reports that top Trump fundraiser Anthony Scaramucci tried cajoling Republican bigwigs into supporting Trump by saying that Trump will make some positively insane decisions as president unless they donate to him now and influence him to be better.
We need your wisdom, the fundraiser told a skeptical Republican while suggesting that Trump would be amenable to his guidance if he cut a big check. Do you want Sean Puffy Combs to be the secretary of state and Gary Busey to be on the Supreme Court?
Combs and Busey are two former Celebrity Apprentice contestants who now back Trumps bid for the nomination. Theyre also about as unqualified to serve on the Supreme Court or at the State Department as Trump is to serve as president.
Per Buzzfeeds reporting, it seems that the GOP donors werent all that persuaded by Scaramuccis argument and expressed skepticism that they could do anything to reel him in.
