Welcome back to my email about all things MAGA. As some of you may know, we’re gonna be shaking things up starting in January: I’ll be bringing my weekly dispatches to a brand new newsletter called The Best & The Brightest, along with daily reportage from my Puck colleagues Julia Ioffe, Tara Palmeri, and Peter Hamby. I’ve learned a crazy ton about the inner workings of Washington and the world of national security by reading them, and I hope you get as much out of their incredible work as I do.
In the meantime, I’m back from Italian Thanksgiving, where I was posted up when the news broke that one Mr. West had turned up to visit Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago with an avowed white supremacist. I immediately hit the phones with my sources to discuss what they’d made of the rendezvous—and what they think of Trump leaping into the 2024 race so early—especially after a midterm cycle that he’d helped tank for the G.O.P., before simply kicking back in Palm Beach. “He’s just sort of hanging out at Mar-a-Lago and letting the circus come to him,” one strategist told me. Is that the sort of guy who’s hungry to retake the White House?
