So... what such examples can you cite?
WASHINGTON—When Donald Trump released a statement suggesting he was planning a trip to Virginia last week, aides to Republican Glenn Youngkin’s campaign for governor panicked.
Mr. Youngkin had, for months, navigated the narrow path between embracing the former Republican president’s policies without being drawn into a debate about Mr. Trump himself. The two men held private phone calls in recent weeks, but Mr. Trump hadn’t said anything about a trip to Virginia.
According to Republicans who recalled the moment from Mr. Trump’s home in Florida and Mr. Youngkin’s headquarters in Chantilly, Va., the statement sparked a series of calls between the two camps. The message from Mar-a-Lago: Mr. Trump knew one of his rallies wouldn’t help Mr. Youngkin, and the statement was only intended to troll the liberals and critics in the media.
