A new internal memo by Tony Fabrizio, chief pollster for all three of Donald Trump’s presidential campaigns, tells the former president he’s in a radically better position than he was right before the 2020 election.
Why it matters: The memo reflects the exuberance that Trump staffers and allies exude in interviews and behind-the-scenes conversations. The optimistic framing could make it even more difficult for Trump followers to accept a loss as legitimate.
The memo, addressed to “TEAM TRUMP,” has the subject line: “PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ON THE VERGE.”
Wouldn’t they tell him the same thing if his chances were bad though? He doesn’t seem to be the type of guy who would take bad news well.
