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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
