Is Donald Trump’s Former Campaign Manager Lewandowski ‘Tired Of Winning’ Already?

US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort has resigned, days after Trump brought in Breitbart News’ Steve Bannon as campaign CEO.

The Clinton campaign does not believe that the Ukraine situation is just a distraction and believes it is an admission of the connections between Donald Trump and Russian Federation.

Paul Manafort stepped down as chairman of the Donald Trump campaign on Friday morning.

A source within the campaign told CNN that “Manafort told Trump he was becoming a distraction and he wanted to end that”.

The AP said Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, channeled over $2 million into efforts to curry favor with US officials and journalists, pushing the broadly pro-Russian agenda of the the party of then-President Viktor Yanukovych (the “Party of the Regions”).

Manafort follows Corey Lewandowski as the second person running Trump’s campaign to be out of a job before the general election.

Manafort’s role with the campaign began in March, when he was first hired by Trump as a “convention manager” to lead the charge corralling delegates and to tackle the possibility of a contested convention later in the summer.

As was the case earlier this year, most voters have doubts that either Clinton or Trump would make a good president.

But as the USA press published story after story of a campaign in crisis, of staff tearing their hair out with their boss’s seeming inability to stay on message, Trump batted aside suggestions that he should change tack. Manafort was said to have been intricately involved in Lewandowski’s ouster.

But as the United States press published story after story of staff tearing their hair out with their boss’s seeming inability to stay on message, Trump batted aside suggestions that he should change tack. The trip that made for a pointed contrast to President Barack Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who both have yet to go, although Obama announced late Friday that he, too, would visit next week.

The press Manafort has allegedly lobbied for this is the Associated Press, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal, reports the Washington Post. “But what the most important thing is is this is a reminder to me and the American public that Donald Trump will do anything it takes to win”.

He drew praise for steering the campaign through the final weeks of the primary process and the convention, where opposing forces sought ways to block a Trump nomination.

In a marked change in tone on Thursday, Trump told a North Carolina rally he expressed regret for remarks that “may have caused personal pain”. “The revelations about the Ukrainian involvement put the consultant in a position where he was overshadowing the campaign and choking its ability to deliver its message”.
