Exclusive: The Republican Party’s Chairman’s Warning to Donald Trump

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told Donald Trump in a phone call last week that if he doesn’t turn his flailing campaign around, the national party may shift its focus from his candidacy to down-ballot races, according to two GOP officials briefed on the exchange.

The officials said Priebus described to Trump internal party polls that show his campaign headed in the wrong direction. Priebus told Trump that he would have been better off had he spent the days since the Republican convention at his Mar-a-Lago Club, officials said.

Trump denied the officials’ account of the exchange.

“Reince Priebus is a terrific guy,” Trump told TIME on Tuesday. “He never said that.” Trump also said that the Republican Party should be grateful for his recent fundraising. “Why would they state that when I am raising millions of dollars for them?” Trump asked, rhetorically.

Priebus could not be reached for comment.

Don't know about the Bailey's on Priebus's cereal (though it sounds perfectly reasonable) but someone appears to have given The Donald a dose of tranquilizers today.

The Screech-Meister is very subdued in his scheduled appearances. Threatening to pull $$$ from his campaign must have sobered the man up. For a least 8 hours.
