July 9, 2021: Antitrust the process + Guilfoyle signs up with Greitens — and incurs Trump’s wrath

The White House is scheduled to issue an executive order Friday to promote competition throughout the U.S. economy in the most ambitious effort in generations to reduce the stranglehold of monopolies and concentrated markets in major industries.

And, It’s Donald Trump's most frequent complaint: people profiting off his name. The latest offender? His son’s girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle. Aides told Playbook that Trump has been openly griping that Guilfoyle joined Eric Greitens' campaign for Senate in Missouri as national campaign chair, and he’s becoming increasingly short with Guilfoyle.
