Trump to attend RNC spring donor summit
Source: Politico
Donald Trump has confirmed his attendance at the Republican National Committees upcoming spring donor retreat, as the former president reemerges following his departure from the White House.
The private retreat is slated to take place April 9-11 in Palm Beach, Fla. Trumps expected attendance at the event, which is expected to draw an array of major GOP givers, was confirmed by two people familiar with his plans. Republican officials declined to specify where the event is being held, but they said it would not be at Trumps nearby Mar-a-Lago estate, where the former president has been staying.
Trump had been largely absent from the public eye since leaving Washington last month, speaking out only in TV appearances and through statements. But the former president who lost access to his beloved Twitter account after the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection is beginning to re-engage. He is set to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Sunday, his first public appearance since leaving the White House.
RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel has stressed that the committee will be neutral toward potential 2024 candidates, a group that includes Trump, who has told aides in recent days that hes interested in waging a comeback bid. The spring retreat is set to feature several would-be contenders, including Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, Florida Sen. Rick Scott, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Slap him up one side and down the other with all available charges.
Seize/freeze all assets. Impose a gag order. Restrict him from public business.
Step on the tail of this snake.
And hurry up.

(3,997 posts)9. Methinks many of the biggest R donors will not show. Aside from not wanting to mingle with lesser...
lights, and the fact that they like to be wooed one-on-one, many have already said to the press, no less, that they will not support Trump. The lies, the riot, the loss of the Senate and House plus the anti-democratic (small d) bent of the current Republiscum party has frightened them of being cast into the same hoop as Trump.
