Another Setback For Trump's Campaign

Presidents/Potential presidents don't fire their best workers because they don't see "eye to eye."

Another Setback For Trump's Campaign
Politico

Let’s backtrack and see what’s happened to Donald Trump recently.

Another important factor to Trump’s “success” has left the building. On Aug. 19, Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort resigned from the Trump campaign. This is the second-high profile departure, the first one being campaign manager Corey Lewandowski earlier in the summer.

What does this change of power mean? Could it be foreshadowing another drop in political power? Trump has remedied his current issues by appointing two campaign aides to senior positions: Kellyanne Conway is the new campaign manager, and Steve Bannon, Breitbart News chief, is the new campaign CEQ. Powers have once again been divided in the Trump campaign, and who knows where this will lead.

This presidential campaign has been a brutal and chaotic pattern of twists and turns, and Trump has been— and is still— the main cause of it all. If we’re being honest, why would Trump allow his campaign chairman to quit three months before Election Day? This is the home stretch and Trump wants to take people from the bench and try to make a dream team? His team should have kept Manafort, because without him Trump would not have gotten this far.

According to Trump, Manafort just didn’t fit the bill anymore. He was moving too slow for Trump’s current pace, and they just didn’t see eye to eye. Come on! What is seeing eye to eye with Donald Trump? Maybe you have to build a large wall around yourself to see eye to eye. If that doesn’t work you can always beat around the bush when asked about your policies. Not being completely honest, yet exposing all your flaws to the world is how Trump sees eye to eye with anyone.

Now, with the new positions in his campaign, Trump is taking a step in a different direction. He’s using teleprompters during his rally’s, his original ideas concerning immigration and deportation are apparently “open to change”, and this makes me wonder; does Trump even know what he wants anymore? At this point in the presidential race certainty and credibility are a must. Donald Trump isn’t credible enough to hold an entire country in his hands, and he’s not even certain enough to keep a campaign staff together. How can he be President of the United States? The answer is simple, he can’t.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
