Former President Trump's past campaign associates, including ex-advisers, conspiracy theorists, and convicted felons, are reattaching themselves to his inner circle for the 2024 campaign, despite efforts by current top advisers to steer clear of controversial far-right figures.

Key Points

  • Former campaign associates like Roger Stone and Christina Bobb are rejoining Trump's inner circle.
  • Efforts to screen potentially damaging dinner guests have been made by senior campaign staff.
  • Certain far-right personalities are directed towards Trump-aligned PACs rather than directly involved in the campaign.

Pros

  • Reconnection with loyalists from past campaigns may bring in experienced individuals.
  • Having a mix of perspectives within the inner circle can provide a diverse range of insights.

Cons

  • Association with controversial individuals may lead to negative public perception.
  • Promotion of false allegations about the 2020 election could undermine the integrity of the campaign.
