Donald Trump Has Made Some Big Changes To His Campaign Staff … Again
Those kinds of stories have been a specialty of Steve Bannon, the executive chairman of the right-wing site Breitbart News, who is now the Trump campaign’s chief executive.
Manafort drew unwelcome attention to the campaign this week when the New York Times reported that Manafort’s name was on secret ledgers showing cash payments designated to him of more than $12 million from a Ukrainian political party with close ties to Russian Federation. “It’s time for the wealthiest Americans, whoever you are, as well as corporations and wall Street, to pay your fair share in taxes”.
Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen Bannon has become CEO, the Trump campaign said in a statement. And some people like what I said, if you want to know the truth. Bannon is taking a break from his job running the conservative Breitbart News Network to do it. A campaign release highlighted that Bloomberg Politics has called Bannon the “most unsafe political operative in America”.
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign today made major shakeups in an attempt to catch pro-abortion Hillary Clinton, who is leading both national polls as well as surveys of voters in key battleground states. Since that time, Trump hasn’t spent a single dime on campaign advertisements in important swing states against Clinton.
But Mook said, “It’s unfortunately not surprising to see this happen, coming from Trump”.
Trump appeared somewhat more disciplined in recent days, largely sticking to his script during a counter-terrorism speech in OH on Monday and a law-and-order address outside Milwaukee on Tuesday night. “I go around, I make speeches, I talk to reporters. If you start pivoting, you’re not being honest with people”.
A string of prominent Republicans have announced they will not vote for Trump as U.S. newspapers report of a campaign in crisis and staffers unnerved by a candidate apparently incapable of reeling in crass remarks.
In June, Trump dumped his then-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who had been credited with the real estate magnate’s initial breakthrough in the primaries. “And you know, I was disappointed with John because I think much more work should’ve been done for our veterans”.
The staff moves are a significant measure of campaign resources, though the handful of staffers in Georgia are a small fraction of the hundreds of operatives flooding more competitive states.
“This is not a two-person race”, Lewandowski insisted.
Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump speaks at a rally on August 16, 2016 in West Bend, Wisconsin.
Conway downplayed the notion of internal dissent at campaign headquarters at Trump Tower, telling The Associated Press the staffing changes are “an expansion at a critical time in the homestretch”. He also described similarities between Bannon’s style and his own.
In his speech, Mr Trump said that his “campaign is about representing the great majority of Americans. who read the newspaper, or turn on the TV, and don’t hear anyone speaking for them”.
He added that he is doing “whatever it takes to win this election”.
