Lol, okay then.

Via NBC's Katherine Doyle:

Chris LaCivita, who is set to take on operating officer duties, says RNC WON’T use party funds to cover -related legal expenses, per Vaughn Hillyard

“No,” LaCivita says in South Carolina where Trump is taking the stage. Asked to clarify, he responds: “Fucking no.”

“'GOP donors are in full panic mode over the possibility of Lara Trump' taking a leading role, that person said. 'The RNC needs someone who can rack in the dough for Trump. She ain’t it.'”

Ha! I think I'll have popcorn for breakfast.

Michael Cohen: I gotta be very clear on this. Lara is an idiot. I don’t say it to be mean, I say it because it’s true. In fact, Donald didn’t even like her for many years. He didn’t even want Eric to marry her.. Not only did he make fun of her looks, so did Don and Ivanka.

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ #RNC considers move to make #Trump presumptive nominee

“While Trump would still need to reach delegate requirements necessary to win the nom, if the resolution is approved, he’d have access to RNC’s data operation, benefit from fundraising w RNC, & have support of all of the committee’s ground ops. It would also mean the committee would be supporting Trump & effectively opposing Haley – an unprecedented break from party’s past approach to nom process”
