The president’s one-time deputy campaign manager reportedly profited off his association to Trump. Now he’s no longer going on Trump’s favorite network.

Former Donald Trump aide and current Fox employee David Bossie has disappeared from Fox News and three sources familiar with the circumstances say they’ve been informed it was in part an effort by the network’s opinion programming not to infuriate the president.

Bossie had been a Fox News stalwart and a close Trump ally up until Axios reported that his political group, the Presidential Coalition, had raised millions aligning itself with the president but spent a pittance of it on actual political activity.

The item was widely perceived throughout Trumpworld as Bossie personally profiting off his close association to Trump, and tricking donors into thinking they were aiding the Trump reelection effort. And the president himself was so enraged that he directed his campaign to draft and blast out an official statement denouncing Bossie’s activity, as The Daily Beast first reported.

The brass at Fox News and its sister channel Fox Business, both of which Trump routinely watches, noticed as well, according to the three sources. A source at Fox said that there was widespread chatter internally about the Bossie story after it dropped. Another one of these sources noted that Fox personnel had also voiced some ethical concerns about what the former Trump aide and his group did. The source stressed that they had no knowledge of the White House or campaign formally requesting Bossie be given a time out but they were told that Trump’s allies at the network simply felt it safest to take a break from Bossie until after Trump cooled off.

1. Dude, ever watch Casino? You don't steal from the mob boss

lucky you didn't end up in a corn field someplace.

Putin might still do Fat Donnie a solid... so stay away from, well, everything.

2. Trump doesn't care if you grift off his name

But you have to cut him in for a piece. I thought Bossie knew how these criminal syndicates worked. Amateur mistake, David.

3. That was what the Trump Foundation was for, after all.

Wonder if there's a problem now. Not getting a large share of what those around him make off him would be a continual bur under his skin.
