The Republican National Committee is planning to invite former President Trump to their spring donor meeting in April, two sources confirmed to CBS News. The news comes as the RNC tries to figure out its post-Trump future and amid his polarizing impeachment and the loss of two high-profile Senate seats in Georgia, throwing the Senate majority to the Democrats.

Despite the turmoil within the party, RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, an ally of Mr. Trump's, was unanimously reelected earlier this month.

Mr. Trump has not yet made a public appearance since he left office on January 20. McDaniel told The Washington Post on Thursday that Mr. Trump's role post-presidency "is going to be up to him in a lot of ways."

Mr. Trump has publicly indicated he is considering running for president again in 2024. McDaniel assured The Associated Press on Thursday that the national party would remain neutral in a 2024 primary, even if it included Mr. Trump.

1. They might have to put up bail first

[RVN VET71]

5. Yep!

[BradBo]

14. My feelings too.

They better hurry up or he won’t be able to make it because of a previous commitment.

[OldBaldy1701E]

2. There should be a bus load of police

waiting at the entrance to said event and if they demask or try to gather more than accepted guidelines, they should be arrested for attempted manslaughter. (And, if anyone gets it from someone and dies, manslaughter.) But, that is just me...

[CincyDem]

3. He's got a 75mil+ war chest just from the "stop the steal" scam email

And that doesn’t include the dollars still sitting in the Trump 2020 account that he hadn’t skimmed.

He’s a money force on the R (for racists) side and they’re no gonna ignore dollars like that for any price.

[BradBo]

15. He owes way more than he owns.

[LeftInTX]

19. He can't use his campaign donations to pay personal debts

By law the money must go to campaigns or non-profits

[Tommymac]

21. Well, until Putin demands his blood money back.

Trump is going to be stone cold broke in 3 years.

$400,000,000 owed and guaranteed by him personally, that we KNOW about. Coming due around 2023.

And I will bet my bottom dollar their is a shitload of debt we DON'T know about.

Trump's wealth is just another lie he is using to control the idiot insurrectionists.

4. Is this CPAC?

I hear they are having trouble lining up speakers.

[Botany]

6. I'm all for that idea. If they want that albatross around their neck go for it.

[hedda_foil]

25. The Rime of the Ancient Trumpiner?

[mpcamb]

7. Will he be expected to make a donation?

He's kinda tight with his own bankroll.

[keithbvadu2]

8. D'ya suppose they will all be required to sign COVID waivers?

D'ya suppose they will all be required to sign COVID waivers?

[My Pet Orangutan]

9. McDaniel and Co. are all Trumpers.

Ditto the State branches.

[bluestarone]

10. GOOD!

Hope this SPLITS the party!!!

[orleans]

11. as long as he can continue getting donations he'll keep saying he'll run for president

he'll be flat on his back, on life support, and still be running for president (donate now!)
and his cultists will continue to vote for him

[oldsoftie]

12. The "big " donors seem to be fleeing trump one by one.

[Turbineguy]

13. Trumps tailor

will need to design trousers that hide his ankle tracker.

[kimbutgar]

16. Between now and April a lot of stuff will be exposed and they might regret that invite!

[pfitz59]

17. Every RNC donor henceforth

Must bear the label "traitor", because that's what they are!

[Nitram]

18. Donald Trump is a right wing drug and he is apparently very addictive. The GOP needs an

intervention.

[LeftInTX]

20. You summed it up quite well!

[LiberalLovinLug]

22. And they can't go half ways with Trump. He will demand all the attention.

It will be a Trump Party National Committee meeting, if he is invited.

[onetexan]

23. another trainwreck waiting to happen. GOP haven't learned their lesson.

[LudwigPastorius]

24. If the RNC thinks Trump is going to show up without them having to pay him to appear, ...

they haven't learned a goddamned thing over the past 4 years.

[WichitaTim]

26. Strictly for the nut votes...

...that the RNC is inviting him. If it were not for the all the racist, nazi, white nationalist, conspiracy theory, flat earthers and their massive vote power they would toss Trump to the side and fast. The RNC believes that by embracing Trumpy the goof ball cultist will keep them all in office.
