A disgruntled donor:

I want my donation money back... This doesn't serve anyone in this election cycle, except your ego.

the ultimate point on how divisive Trump can be:

2 of the 9 founding members of the House Freedom caucus have now served as Trump’s chief of staff (Mulvaney and Meadows).

1 of the 9 now looks to be running against him for president (Amash).

Yglesias thinking aloud on twitter on possible effects, there are replies:

I tweeted earlier my view that Amash in the race would take more votes from Biden than from Trump, but it’s worth saying this is in part a question of what tactical choices a candidate makes in terms of who to target, what messages to use, what media to seek out etc

If he wants to he *could* run a race focused on states with a clear GOP lean (Georgia, Texas) and spend all his time attacking Trump from the right as a godless New York adulterer or whatever and trying to get booked on local conservative talk radio stations.

If you search social media you'll see people claim Justin Amash is white, and then use it as some kind of slur? He's Syrian-Palestinian. His grandparents were refugees from the 1948 war...
