6:12Now PlayingThings are not going well inside the Trump campaign, according to new reports. Staffers are turning against one another as they all disagree on the strategy for the last month of the campaign. In addition, Trump has already grown tired of recent addition Corey Lewandowski who has done nothing to benefit the campaign since being brought on board. The whole thing is a mess behind the scenes, which is helping to drive the mess that we are seeing publicly, and they have no idea how to make things better. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

If you think that the crap show we have been seeing publicly from the Trump campaign is bad, then a new report from the Washington Post says, you ain't seen nothing yet, especially compared to the public breakdown compared to what's happening behind the scenes. Because apparently behind the scenes, the Trump campaign is imploding from within due to the fact that staffers are at each other's throats, they've got the knives out. And of course, most importantly, none of them can agree on anything including the most important thing, which is strategy. We are now less than 45 days away from the presidential election, and this Washington Post report is telling us that Donald Trump's campaign is falling apart from within. Let me read you this. Just 45 days left until the election article came out two days ago. The past three weeks reveal that whatever control and self restraint that helped launch Trump's third presidential campaign has largely disappeared in the crucial final stretch.
It's not even let Trump be Trump, it's let Trump be unsupervised at all times. They just feel like we can't control him, so let's hope he wins. Anyway, so the staffers have already basically given up one major point. They're like, look, we're sick and tired of him going off script. Uh, the report points out that they're all basically horrified by the eating the pets in Springfield remarks and the ongoing drama that that has created. 'cause both Trump and Vance aren't backing down from it. So they're off about that, and they're like, you know what? At this point, we can't stop him. We cannot stop him from being his own worst enemy, so let's just still hope he wins. We're not even gonna try anymore. They're admitting, and of course, it was stupid for them to think they could control him anyway. 'cause if they listened to anyone from his 2016 campaign, his administration or his 2020 campaign, they would know that all of those people expressed the same exasperation with him, which is, we can't control him.
So why you morons thought you'd finally be able to get him under wraps? Like that blows my mind, completely flies in the face of everything that everybody who has ever worked with him has said, but no, you were gonna be the ones to turn it around, right? Grow up. Then of course, Corey Lewandowski, right? Donald Trump recently brought in Lewandowski when Harris entered the race and he started getting clobbered. So he is like, I'll bring in good old Corey. Well, that's not going well. Trump has also begun to privately criticize Lewandowski downplaying his role in the campaign and their relationship. Three people familiar with his comments said, so he's bashing Lewandowski to people behind the scenes, like, ah, I barely know the
Guy. He's totally not involved, right? Privately wiles. Susie Wiles, his co campaign manager, has told allies that it has been difficult to see the close knit, disciplined operation that she helped build face such tumult and infighting in the final months, and that the past few weeks have been among her least favorites since joining the operation in 2021. So yeah, up until this point, according to Susie Wiles, like, Hey, this has been a well-oiled machine. Everything has gone right. We've totally been on message. It did, did I just wake up from like a three year coma and I, I dreamt all of the drama that's been going on behind the scenes and with the horrible things Donald Trump says, I made that up in my head, Susie, but that wasn't real. This campaign has been a show since day one. Susie, since you came along, you and Chris Las Cavita, you guys suck, and now you're trying to be like, oh, we were doing just fine.
