'There has to be a shakeup': Trump campaign in turmoil as he looks for someone to blame

Despite claims of calm emanating from Donald Trump's presidential campaign staff, they are continually finding themselves at odds with the former president who continues to ignore strategic plans put together for him to grapple with the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris.According to a report from the Washington Post, Trump's campaign inner circle recently saw a presentation on their plans for the 2024 election presented to select reporters go down the drain almost immediately when he went off-script and launched into personal attacks on Harris.The report notes that up until mid-summer the campaign had been "drama-free" but the decision by President Joe Biden to step aside caught everyone flat-footed including the former president who is now looking for someone to blame as things have fallen apart.ALSO READ: Donald Trump deep in debt while foreign money keeps coming: disclosureAccording to the report, "Advisers and donors are trying to keep Trump focused.

His team was mingling with donors at the fundraiser. Trump had gotten frustrated earlier that day after his airplane malfunctioned."Trump insiders admit they are not surprised the former president is once again listening to too many people outside of the campaign for advice, with the report noting he has been spending his evenings and weekends complaining about the state of affairs as Harris pulls ahead in the polls.According to the Post report, "On one recent weekend, Trump dialed allies raising concerns and asking questions about the campaign’s direction and strategy, this person said. But the following Monday, he again assured top advisers that their jobs were safe and that he did not know where speculation about their fate had come from, the person said."“He is never going to take the blame himself,” the insider explained “He’s not going to say, ‘Oh I shouldn’t have said this, or maybe we shouldn’t have done that.’ So there has to be a shake-up.'"You can read more here.
