Former Trump Adviser: ‘All The People I Talk To Who Deal With Him Directly Think As Of Now He Is Running’
“Now, whether he does or not is a different issue,” the official added. “We’ve still got three years to go. But he’s telling people that.”
Rolling Stone reported, “The ex-R.N.C. official says the first two dinners took place in late spring. But the third dinner happened in the last two weeks, the official said.”
“The first two dinner companions came away from their conversations convinced Trump was serious and he’s running, the official adds,” according to Rolling Stone.
The news outlet added, “The third said he left the dinner ‘not 100% sure Trump wants to run but he likes being in the conversation, he wants to freeze the field, and he wants his name out there,’ according to the ex-R.N.C. official.”
When Rolling Stone reached out to Team Trump for comment, there was no response.
A former Trump adviser who is still in touch with that circle said to Rolling Stone, “All the people I talk to who deal with him directly think as of now he is running.”
