A Trump source said Manafort told Trump he was becoming a distraction and he wanted to end that.
“The campaign was going around in circles – and not just circles, the kind of circles you see in a toilet bowl”, Mr. Cunningham said. And that clock is, when does Donald Trump get his phone back and start tweeting again? Manafort wound up running the campaign, but took criticism over continuing Republican opposition to Trump and complaints about the candidate’s undisicplined style and repeated attacks on GOP critics.
Yesterday, his campaign also announced it planned to spend almost $5m to air his first television ads, including one that contrasts him and Clinton on border security, immigration and Syrian refugees.
“The fact the Clinton Foundation is still taking foreign contributions until the election, but not after, is a sign they know those donations lead to conflicts of interest”, Trump spokesman Jason Miller said in a statement, calling for the foundation to immediately cease taking foreign contributions.
“Paul Manafort’s resignation is a clear admission that the disturbing connections between Donald Trump’s team and pro-Kremlin elements in Russian Federation and Ukraine are untenable”, said campaign Manager Robby Mook in a statement.

With Manafort out, we can safely say: Welcome to the new Trump campaign, same as the old Trump campaign. And he’s stepped up his focus on Clinton, casting her as a dishonest agent of Washington.
The Clinton campaign put up its first general election TV ads more than two months ago and has since spent more than million on them.

His father didn’t want to be “distracted by whatever things Paul was dealing with”, the younger Trump told Fox News. Trump shouted at a crowd of his supporters. The accounts have prompted questions about the Trump campaign chairman’s previous work in Ukraine and his links to the former president, who fled the country in disgrace in 2014 and is now being investigated for corruption. “He wants to double down on letting Donald Trump be Donald Trump”, Mook said.
