Trump will get another chance to reset his campaign today when he is expected to lay out his plan for defeating what his running mate Mike Pence yesterday called, “radical Islamic terrorism” with “real specifics” on how to make the United States safer.

He defended some of Trump’s recent controversial comments including that President Obama founded ISIS and suggesting Russian Federation try to retreive Hillary Clinton’s emails.
Trump went on a Twitter rant against the press, complaining that the “disgusting” media is not showing the crowd size of his rallies and is putting “false meaning into the words I say”. That tweet was followed by: “My rallies are not covered properly by the media”.
“Voters never digested his message before they were distracted by yet another misstep”, said Peter Morici, a business professor at the University of Maryland. Signs were popping up across the political landscape.
Hours later, Trump was mocking people for taking him so seriously, prompting a whole new wave of stories.
A day later, Trump was equally unhinged at a Florida rally when he went on a freaky rant about the terrorist Islamic State, also known as ISIS.
“Although I disagree with much of what Clinton said on Thursday, her delivery was effective”, said Morici, who has yet to endorse a candidate.
Trump has routinely called reporters “very bad people”. I think people of this country are exhausted of the pay to play politics in Washington, D.C.
Mr Trump’s sojourn into CT raised eyebrows among many Republicans nervous about his slipping poll numbers in a series of key swing states and battlegrounds – and even some usual Republican turf. I think at some point, you have to put the party aside and say what’s best for the country?
“As a result of this tax plan, and all of the components of the tax plan, the trade elements, the investment elements, you’re going to have a situation where jobs are going to come back to America”, Manafort told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union“. “You see what’s going on”.
Trump, clearly angered by news reports that he has grown depressed and sullen over his fading presidential prospects, has issued some of his sharpest attacks on the media.
Former U.S. Secretary of Commerce and longtime Kellogg Co. executive Carlos Gutierrez said Sunday he is voting for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in November while being critical of her opponent, Donald Trump. “I have to think this proves the candidate is running the campaign, which explains why it’s such a disaster of biblical proportions”.
The Times story painted a dire picture of the Trump campaign; said that some of Trump’s advisers “now increasingly concede that Mr. Trump may be beyond coaching;” and asserted that “in private, Mr. Trump’s mood is often sullen and erratic, his associates say”.
“As I waited and as millions of Americans waited for that to happen, it became clear at this – at this last stage of the race, the general election, that if somebody didn’t make a move soon, that all hope would be lost”. He later said he was sarcastic, but then also said he was being “not that sarcastic”. Last month, Trump toyed with not endorsing House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., before the state’s August 9 primary, when Ryan walloped a little-known challenger.
Even though Ohio’s 69th governor got blown out by the Big Orange Machine-winning only one state while losing 49 others-he and other one-time GOP leaders are out of sight but not out of mind to the Donald, who showed at a rally Friday in Pennsylvania he hasn’t forgotten them.
Right now, Trump doesn’t have a lead in any of the states where he will need to win and where recent polling exists, and in several states, he’s significantly behind Clinton.

Manafort repeated the Trump claim that his Second Amendment remark was meant purely as an exhortation to vote. “We’ll see where it takes me”, he told Time magazine on Tuesday.
