A) there are no controls around who can get to this former president, part of the concerns the DOJ has about the way in which he was keeping classified documents B) Missing is a denunciation of Fuentes’ views. https://t.co/lcH9BqOqVH

(Putting that one in context.)Despite some apparent denials from someone around Trump, Fuentes -- who has denounced Jews among other groups -- was indeed at dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, people have confirmed to NYT https://t.co/aQUWS0KdsR

Not even the main point but Trump knows very well who Karen Giorno is. She worked for him in 2016 and he loved her. https://t.co/mm9oLg6Zdz

“He can’t stand not having attention all the time. And so, having someone show up at his club — even if you believe that he didn’t know who Nick Fuentes was — and want to sit with him, feeds the hunger he feels for the attention he’s missing since he left the presidency.”

To be clear, this has been an eight-year issue that has dogged Trump. The difference is now that a (comparatively small) number of Rs or Trump allies are willing to speak out https://t.co/Zilg6B9Fhf

A third effort at a statement, where "he didn't say antisemitic things around me" is the standard https://t.co/xybXdnWNoa

Then read the comments section and what Trump is doing here comes into sharper relief. https://t.co/h2pQiecW0u

When RJC condemned Gosar and Greene earlier this year for appearing at a Fuentes event, they didn’t name them but did mention their title. A slight tick stronger than today’s statement on Trump. https://t.co/vL5KQGr0pw

Trump lamenting to the Holocaust denier -- who got into Trump's club with the antisemitism-spouting celebrity with whom Trump welcomed a meeting, for which it's not clear any Trump staff was present -- that his staff wants him to stick to teleprompter speeches is a capsule.

Yes except at a certain point, it’s the same story over and over - no staff around, someone else’s fault - and the consistent data point is the man himself https://t.co/dJG4jNH4Rx

Former President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday night had dinner with Nick Fuentes, an outspoken antisemite and racist who is one of the country’s most prominent young white supremacists, at Mr. Trump’s private club, advisers to Mr. Trump conceded on Friday. https://t.co/Ie1mlMlZh3

“A Holocaust denier and unabashed racist, Mr. Fuentes openly uses hateful language on his podcast, in recent weeks calling for the military to be sent into Black neighborhoods and demanding that Jews leave the country.” https://t.co/Jdtxk74fIY

Or criticizing Ye for bringing him on board, while ignoring Ye’s own anti semitic statements. https://t.co/lHW52KvOjJ

At some point that just turned into “Oh, FUCK this!”To that end, Trump didn’t simply tweet when he used the site as president, popping off and walking away. Part of how he’d decide what to focus on was looking at the replies to his tweets. This type of hate was clear in those replies. https://t.co/UeZELawAZp
