Guilfoyle Survives Coronavirus; Will Trump Fundraising Survive Guilfoyle?

It’s a good thing Kim Guilfoyle appears to have recovered from coronavirus. First, we don’t anyone to get suffer or die from coronavirus. Second, we don’t want anyone with coronavirus exposing government officials and creating the potential for more instability in government operations.

Third, we don’t want Guilfoyle having to take any more sick days away from as Team Trump’s national finance chair. We want Guilfoyle to keep doing that job the way she has all along: poorly!

…Interviews with nearly a dozen Republicans familiar with the campaign’s fundraising depict an operation beset by departures, staffers with no prior fundraising experience and accusations of irresponsible spending.

Trump is raking in big money online and has amassed an enormous war chest. But Joe Biden has outraised the president for two consecutive months, and there are growing concerns among senior Republicans about whether the dysfunction within Guilfoyle’s team is translating into money left on the table for what has become an uphill fight for a second term [Alex Isenstadt, “Kimberly Guilfoyle Under Fire for Trump Fundraising Disarray,” Politico, 2020.07.23].

But don’t blame Kim: she’s just running the campaign money machine the way her boyfriend’s dad runs the country, making it all about herself:

But in interviews with The New York Times, Ms. Guilfoyle’s critics said that she had devoted a disproportionate amount of attention to glitzier, high-dollar fund-raising, and that they believed she used her position — and the fact that she’s seen as a de facto member of the Trump family — to support her public image and lifestyle. Most of those interviewed insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the issue publicly.

“I think she likes the spotlight a little too much,” said Dan Eberhart, an oil executive and a donor to Mr. Trump. He called Ms. Guilfoyle a voluble supporter of the president, but said that when she was previously working for the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action, she often talked about her own media presence [Kenneth P. Vogel and Maggie Haberman, “Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Fund-Raising for Trump Draws Scrutiny,” New York Times, 2020.07.24].

We’re all glad you’re back in the office, Kim. Carry on.

That’s odd—Governor Kristi Noem says South Dakota is the best place in the world to spend a pandemic. She couldn’t put those stranded Trump loyalists up in better digs, hook them up with better wi-fi, or fly them home on the state plane?

    The Trump circus – all three rings – reminds me of the Ross Perot line: Politics is just show business for ugly people.

    Truly, one hates to wish anyone ill health. Without it, fame, fortune, wealth… mean little. However, it appears as tho deniers must have a first hand experience to be convinced. Sad, yes. True? Evidently.

    Those staffers probably had the time of their lives, living it up in a nice hotel in Rapid City with Talley’s breakfasts delivered every day. They probably closed the top bar on the roof just to let them hang out up there with great views and sunshine and after they found out they weren’t sick, they were still relieved to learn that Monument Health was standing ready to take the best care of them that could be found anywhere.

    Grudzilla, Noem absolutely Nothing and never knew anything drumpf can co-author a book about how it feels to be smitten with their own jawbones.

    Likely a best seller in non-fiction crayon paperback.
