NEW: @ProjectLincoln co-founder and "Never Trump" darling Steve Schmidt met with President Trump in 2016 for a campaign gig but didn't get the job because Trump thought he was a "total idiot," said one person familiar with his thinking. https://t.co/XrBlX09Zgp— Ebony Bowden (@ebonybowden) July 27, 2020
 Seems like 99% of those opposing Trump, at one time begged him for a job & were turned away.

Lincoln Project co-founder met with Trump for campaign role in 2016
Ten days after Schmidts March 2016 meeting at Trump Tower, the campaign hired Paul Manafort as chairman and eventually promoted him to campaign manager.
“but didn’t get the job because Trump thought he was a “total idiot,”
Have you noticed so many things written about Trump isn’t even a witness, just familiar with his thinking. Then it is reported as fact.
One of the many groups that selfishly hates President Trump is made up of the political operatives who ran other peoples campaigns, always getting a percentage of all media buys etc. Trump ran the 2016 campaign with very few people working with him.
