"There has to be a shakeup": Trump campaign in turmoil as he looks for someone to blame

Raw Story
August 18, 2024


Despite claims of calm emanating from Donald Trump's presidential campaign staff, they are continually finding themselves at odds with the former president who continues to ignore strategic plans put together for him to grapple with the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to a report from the Washington Post, Trump's campaign inner circle recently saw a presentation on their plans for the 2024 presidential election presented to select reporters go down the drain almost immediately when he went off-script and launched into personal attacks on Harris.

The report notes that up until mid-summer the campaign had been "drama free" but the decision by President Joe Biden to step aside caught everyone flat-footed including the former president who is now looking for someone to blame as things have fallen apart.

We know the answer. He cannot handle the slightest problem.

So we are safe.

They will ignore common sense or do the opposite.

I have never seen anything like it.

But they were quickly shut down.

Trump appears to use draconian methods to shut people down.
I am not sure exactly how he does it.

Probably threats and bribes.

stand up, but standing up is the only way, they'll have to bite the bullet eventually before there can be no gop left.

To themselves and their families.

So we see the GOP leaders shut up, and some of them have resigned.
They have no courage.

Our Dem leaders put up with it every day and keep on doing their jobs.

I do not know what is going to happen to the GOP.

Will their party die?
Or split in two?

He has to blame someone. All he has to do is look in the mirror and he'll find the cause of all his problems. Mr. know it all himself in fact, knows nothing. Just a big loudmouth jerk off like he's always been.

Trump’s brain is too fried to come up with a new plan and since he listens to no one, he’s in the dark about what to do and just running around in circles spewing the same old lies and delusional stories. In other words, he’s a basket case probably worrying that he will lose and be unable to stop the prosecutions and will end up in jail. What a lovely thought.

Who will he blame? It wont matter of course, he can fire everybody but nothing will change.

The issue is between his phone and the back of his chair.
