“He tried to f**k me”: Kanye campaign chief says dinner was set-up to “make Trump’s life miserable”
“Trump was totally blindsided,” a source told NBC News. “It was a setup”

(Salon) Far-right extremists Milo Yiannopoulos and Nick Fuentes claimed that their now infamous dinner with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago was a set-up.

Trump last week dined with antisemitic rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and Fuentes, a white nationalist Holocaust denier that has repeatedly praised Hitler. Trump has insisted that he was only supposed to dine with Ye and claimed that he did not know who Fuentes was. A growing number of Republicans have condemned Fuentes but many have stopped short of criticizing Trump directly.

Ye, who claims that he is running for president and reportedly suggested to Trump that he be his running mate, has tapped Yiannopoulos to serve as his de facto campaign manager. Yiannopoulos, a former Breitbart editor who was ousted after defending pedophilia and later banned from Twitter for inciting racist abuse against comedian Leslie Jones, told NBC News that he was the "architect" of the dinner.

The far-right agitator told the outlet that he arranged to have Fuentes slip into the dinner "just to make Trump's life miserable" because he knew it would leak and damage him. ........(more)

It's hard for me to imagine how it could get any worse (not to mention obvious), put it like that.

And I probably shouldn't laugh but this crap is just pathetically hilarious at this point

But on the VERY off-chance he's being serious, let me just say ...

I call BS on all this. Milo is trying to take credit and there’s no way Trump doesn’t know who’s coming into his club.

Just allowing someone to slip into dinner with a former president seems a bit like dereliction of duty.

Poor innocent Trump was setup by the white supremacist, would never have invited such a person to mar a lago… whoever believes that is an idiot or has been sleeping for the last 7 years.

8. 90% of DU knew who Nick Fuentes was. Trump knew him too.

Nick Fuentes was a Trump sycophant. He buddied with MTJ, Norbert, Gosar, Stone, and many others in Trump's orbit. Truth Social is one of the few platforms that hasn't banned either of these freaks.

9. I sure would have loved to see Trump's expression when Ye made the pitch for TFG to be his VP.

they sneaked the racist/anti-semite guy into the dinner and his SS detail or security (who check on everyone before they are allowed in) didn't inform tfg who was coming in. I'm calling big time BS on this.

11. If these notorious cretins can "sneak in" to see Trump, imagine who else has.

How many spies, provocateurs, wing-nuts, conmen, opportunists, traitors and plain old lunatics have infiltrated his country club?
