Trump Privately Tells Alleged Family Attacker 'Things Aren't Looking Good,' Publicly Shrugs
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump privately warned Rep. Max Miller Monday that his reelection prospects look bleak amid abuse allegations.
- •Miller denies hurting his ex-wife Emily Moreno and their child, insisting he is staying in the race.
- •Trump publicly described the situation as 'a very sad thing' and said he would let the families settle it.
In what sounds like a very chaotic sequel to a reality TV meltdown, ex-Trump aide Max Miller – best known for tying the knot with Emily Moreno (yes, the daughter of GOP Senator Bernie Moreno!) at the Trump golf club in Bedminster, NJ – got President Trump on the phone Monday to discuss his uphill reelection battle amid ugly abuse allegations. Trump told Miller flat out 'things aren't looking good,' yet promptly went public calling the case 'a very sad thing' while insisting he's a 'good person' and letting the Moreno family 'figure it out.' Meanwhile, Miller vows to stay in the race citing his 'own polling,' which might be as reliable as a tweet from Mar-a-Lago. The drama mixes political endorsements, divorces, and whispered whispers from three unnamed sources who definitely should get paid for this gossip.

(1 of 3)When your ex-wife and child accuse you of abuse, and Trump’s biggest takeaway is 'I’m letting the families figure it out,' democracy’s really winning.
Max Miller’s polling must be as fictional as Trump’s love for subtlety in crisis management.
Nothing says ‘stable candidate’ like a mysterious phone call from Trump doubting your chances but praising your ‘good person’ credentials.
