This is the other "party".
Trump briefly called in to the Republican National Committee's winter meeting Thursday morning — and received a loud and overwhelmingly enthusiastic reception when RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel put him on speakerphone, according to people in the room.
"We love you!" some in the room yelled.
Addressing RNC members by phone as they held a private, members-only breakfast at the Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island in Florida, Trump said he had heard that the news media had falsely reported he would not be speaking. He told the RNC members he wanted to speak, was sorry to miss the event and looked forward to seeing them in person.
Trump made no mention of Wednesday's violence at the U.S. Capitol, according to the people present, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the president's remarks. Trump had originally intended to deliver a longer speech but is not scheduled to address the event Thursday night.
