Trump “actively rooted” for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union and is “rooting for the economic turmoil in its wake”, Clinton adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters. “Even on the teleprompter, Donald Trump can’t help but sell the kitchen sink of discredited attacks, rather than offer a real plan for the American people”.

Trump’s approach is less of a surprise at this point because of the aggressive rhetoric he employed in winning the Republican presidential campaign, blasting candidates like “Lying” Ted Cruz and the “pathological” Ben Carson.
Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, said “the boundaries of traditional campaign discourse have been breached” by Trump. “His ability to dominate a news cycle does not necessarily correspond with winning that news cycle”.
Formulating a campaign strategy around that assumption is part calculation, part necessity.
President Barack Obama had previously urged British voters to vote against Brexit and was accused by some critics of interfering in the country’s politics. I think Donald Trump is a risky sociopath who is ill-fitted for the office of President, and even less fitted for the office of Commander in Chief.
“Earned media is superior to paid media because it’s much more authentic”. You don’t get it by saying boring stuff.
“Maybe we shouldn’t expect more from someone whose most famous words are, “you’re fired”, she said in a jibe about his former career as a reality TV star.
But the polls give Hillary little reason to rest comfortably. She’s not that interesting.
Like most global leaders, Clinton had expressed support for the “Remain” camp throughout the referendum. But he said trying to match Trump’s attention-grabbing tactics is “a losing proposition”.
Nothing, it would seem, could stop NY billionaire Donald Trump’s ambition to be the Republican presidential nominee. “Mr. Trump will continue to ensure the campaign has all of the resources necessary to defeat Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats in November”.
Trump added, “She ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund – doing favors for oppressive regimes… for cash”. The exit of Mr. Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, was the first signal that the “Let Trump be Trump” model was about to end. The Clinton campaign didn’t try to compete for attention. But he doesn’t seem to care – he thinks he can get away with it, as he tried in Wednesday’s 42-minute assault on Clinton, which in the main was based on a couple of political pot-boilers, books that are partisan and discredited. “The question is whether Trump is similarly underperforming in the polls here”.
Clinton has already lined up the support of billionaires Warren Buffett and George Soros and a list of former executives from some of corporate America’s largest companies, including General Motors, Delta Air Lines, Costco and Alphabet, the parent company for online search giant Google. Asked if that’s a concern, Fallon responded, “Cable news is not the only outlet for promoting her proposals”.
Some of the examples Trump chose to reinforce this caricature are true. “The state of the general election has not shifted much”, the Center for Politics states. Describing Clinton as “a world-class liar”, he said, “Just look at her pathetic email and server statements, or her phony landing in Bosnia where she said she was under attack but the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers, a total self-serving lie”. Clinton’s unfavorable ratings-54 percent in the Bloomberg poll and 55 percent in the Post poll-are the second-highest of any modern presumptive nominee, behind only Trump.
“She’s very untrustworthy in my eyes”.

Trump secured the majority of delegates needed to nab the nomination over a month ago, but he’s continued to face opposition from many GOP officials and activists who believe he could cost the Republicans the White House and damage the party for years to come.
