A top advisor to Donald Trumps 2024 presidential campaign has a message for some of the wealthiest Republican donors in the country: Dont take the former presidents divisive rhetoric too seriously.
Susie Wiles made the pitch Tuesday at a private gathering of the American Opportunity Alliance, a group of Republican megadonors led by Elliot Investment Management founder Paul Singer.
Speaking at the luxurious Four Seasons hotel in Palm Beach, Florida, Wiles encouraged the powerful donors to essentially ignore Trumps more offensive remarks and focus instead on the fact that the former president is in pole position in the Republican primary for president, according to people familiar with her remarks.
Wiles conceded to the donors that Donald Trump is going to say things people dont like. But she countered that the former president is poised to lock down his partys nomination, and that he is the GOPs best hope to defeat incumbent President Joe Biden, according to a person familiar with her remarks.

That's what they're calling for.
