Insecure, Indicted Man Checks In With His Friends
Great headline, btw
TalkingPointsMemo - Caught off guard. The New York Times and the Washington Post both used that same language last night to describe how Donald Trump and his team at Mar-a-Lago felt as news broke that the former president had been indicted by the Manhattans DAs office. No one was expecting it.
While Trump has reportedly been in frequent communication in recent weeks with several of his friends on Capitol Hill who are using their new House majority to do little more than breathe life into Trumps grievances, the former president reportedly spent his first night as an indicted man making sure his friendships werent fair-weather.

Graham appeared enthusiastic, emotional even, as he urged viewers to donate to Trumps campaign and described the indictment as a ballot box issue. Earlier in the night, Trumps campaign not only released a statement chalking the whole indictment thing up to Election Interference at the highest level in history, his campaign also began fundraising off of the moment, selling $47 indictment t-shirts.
Even if they didnt speak, the loyal foot soldiers clearly got the memo.
