It seems Trumpworld has sprung a leak and exposed the full-on, panic-fueled nuclear meltdown that’s going on behind closed doors in the scandal-ridden ex-president’s private life over Donald Trump’s highly controversial recent dinner and meeting with the likes of known anti-Semite Kanye West (now known as “Ye”) and notorious White supremacist and nationalist, anti-Semite, Holocaust-denier, and self-described “incel,” Nick Fuentes.
The Thanksgiving media cycle was pretty much overtaken by the news that the already scandal-ridden former president hosted none other than Ye (Kanye West) and Nick Fuentes at his equally scandal-ridden Mar-a-Lago country club turned post-White House personal residence for what was apparently a somewhat private dinner and meeting.
The backlash was undeniably and unsurprisingly almost instantaneous, leaving even some of the Conservative crowd disgusted by Trump’s decision to entertain someone as deeply and openly abhorrent and disgusting as Nick Fuentes (as if Kanye wasn’t bad enough all on his own.)
Trump desperately attempted to distance himself from the notorious white supremacist as the backlash grew, ultimately leaving the ex-president to do the only thing he seems to know how to do in situations like this — much like Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, and Prince Andrew — deny that he has any idea who they are, despite the fact that we all very much know better.

But all of the distancing in the world couldn’t staunch the bleeding of reports that exposed and described Trump’s alleged favorable reaction to a literal Nazi.
Now, NBC News reports that Trumpworld insiders are spilling the beans on not only the details of the controversial dinner but also the internal panic that’s spreading far and wide inside Trump’s inner circle, with sources telling the publication, “This is a f*cking nightmare!”:
‘This is a f—ing nightmare,’ said one longtime Trump adviser who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of stoking the former president’s ire at ‘disloyal’ people who criticize him. ‘If people are looking at [Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis to run against Trump, here’s another reason why.’
All three sources familiar with the dinner told NBC News there was one glaring inaccuracy in Trump’s statement: Trump knew one of the three ‘friends’ brought by the rapper, Karen Giorno. She was the Trump campaign’s Florida director in 2016 and the former president knows her by name and sight, the sources said. In addition to Giorno and Fuentes, Ye also brought along another man who was an associate, according to the sources.
The source familiar with the dinner conversation said the dinner grew heated after Ye — who announced another run for president in 2024 on Thursday — asked Trump to be his running mate. Trump then began insulting Ye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, according to the source and a video that Ye posted to Twitter on Thanksgiving Day recounting the dinner.”
NBC News goes on to report that inside sources parroted Trump’s claims that he was unaware of who Fuentes even is when the dinner first kicked off. However, in the aftermath, Fuentes himself has cast a heavy shadow of doubt over those claims.
“I don’t know if I’m going to say he didn’t know me, but… certainly he didn’t know that I was me when I arrived at the dinner” Fuentes recently said on the matter.
There’s really no amount of damage control that will save him from this one.
