Several senior Republican officials are concerned that Donald Trump’s expected takeover of the RNC will ultimately pave the way for the committee to once again cover his legal bills.

Those fears come in the aftermath of Trump endorsing a trio of officials, including his daughter-in-law, to take on top roles at the RNC. While those endorsements have been well-received by many committee members — who note that it is customary for a presidential candidate to put his imprint on the party’s main campaign apparatus — others fear a potential misallocation of party resources.

Henry Barbour, a Mississippi committeeman, said he believed “most RNC members will go along” with Trump’s vision for the committee, “unless there is a play to use RNC funds for President Trump’s legal bills.”

    I’m actually pretty happy Trump exists.

    Good to know you’re not one of the many women he’s sexually abused. Good to know you’re not a pregnant child being forced to give birth to her rapists baby after Roe was overturned. Good to know you’re not one of the million+ Americans who’ve died of the pandemic Trump bungled.

    I’m glad you’re privileged enough for the Trump administration to not have devastated your well-being.

    Fuck accelerationism.
