'Falling down on the job': Trump insiders are furious over swing state campaign efforts

Frustrated insiders are warning former President Donald Trump not to trust his "embarrassing" campaign leadership in vital swing states with razor-thin margins, according to a new report.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's super PAC and a controversial Trump ally's minions are inspiring grumbles in the Republican presidential nominee's inner circle over get-out-the-vote operations in battleground states, Rolling Stone reported Wednesday.

"Several Republican operatives and other figures in the national party have bluntly and directly informed Trump they fear Musk’s organization is falling down on the job of mobilizing voters," Rolling Stone reported.

"Some partly blame, including when they’ve spoken to Trump, the group’s lead strategists, who are linked to the failed 2024 primary run of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis."

Rolling Stone relied on anonymous sources and screenshots of text conversations to confirm Trump is “constantly” bombarded with criticisms and concerns about Musk-supported America PAC ’s efforts in key swing states.

Sources told Rolling Stone several members of Trump’s inner circle are wondering why Musk's operation is led by officials from DeSantis’ expensive and unsuccessful campaign to wrestle the Republican presidential nomination away from him.

"There remains intense hatred and distrust between the two camps," Rolling Stone reported.

"Many in the upper ranks of Trumpland view Team DeSantis as woefully incompetent and out-of-touch, and they wonder, as one Trump adviser put it recently to Rolling Stone , 'why in the world would we trust them with anything?'"

Concerns are also mounting that America PAC is running out of time as Nov. 5 draws closer and the group still seeks to hire canvassers on its website, the report noted.

As one high-roller Trump donor asked rhetorically to Rolling Stone, "Why isn’t the army already in place?”
