Former President Donald Trump is growing frustrated with the lack of movement around a new super PAC intended to further solidify his influence over the GOP, according to two people familiar with the conversations.
Trump advisers first shared the plans in late February for a super PAC as part of a post-presidency political operation. Trump told allies at the time that he’d chosen his one-time campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to run the organization, but roughly one month later, the 45th president has started lashing out about the lack of movement on the project, sources said.
The sources, one of which heard the comments from Trump directly, said the former president is agitated that there has been little tangible or visible progress on establishing the super PAC and ramping up activity in the month since the idea for the new super PAC was first made public.
“He’s lashing out that nothing’s happening. He viewed this super PAC as something that’s supposed to have his back, and it’s nowhere to be found,” one source said.
The two sources spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss conversations involving the former president.
Trump, through a spokesperson, denied that he is frustrated with the progress around the super PAC, with adviser Jason Miller calling the assertion “100 percent false.”
