This is clever but this isn’t now getting into the White House works, even during the Trump administration. Folks at White House have firm theories about who waved the group in that Friday night and Powell again 2 days later, when she got in but was blocked from seeing Trump. https://twitter.com/politicsreid/status/1356972295210827778
Powell had been at the campaign offices and at the White House in the days leading up to this meeting. It wasn’t just some pop-up meeting.
Some left that meeting on Friday close to tears because it was so intense and because Trump was clearly still thinking about hiring her, well into Saturday morning. Byrne is, in that clip, treating it like it was comedy performance art.
And while Byrne (via tremendous @jonathanvswan reporting) had no idea who WH officials were, the former president also had no idea who Byrne was, despite Byrne claiming Trump recognized him.
