Trump's campaign turmoil: Insiders reveal nervous breakdown fears
Donald Trump is experiencing a nervous breakdown and reportedly flew into a rage, according to two of his former associates. The former president is said to feel that victory is slipping through his fingers due to increasingly close polls and the "terrible choice" he now considers in selecting J.D. Vance as the vice-presidential candidate.
- I think that he feels this election slipping away from him, and that’s where you’re beginning to see him spiral and cling to these conspiracy theories - said Sarah Matthews, a former spokesperson for Trump, in an interview with MSNBC.
Republicans and major donors are increasingly worried about Trump's rather unstable strategy, which mainly relies on harsh personal attacks on Kamala Harris. Rather than focusing on core political issues such as immigration, the economy, and crime, the former president is concentrating on pointing out the missteps of the vice president, who is running for the highest office in the country.
"Terrible choice" by Trump
For the lack of success in the presidential campaign, Trump is blaming his associates and vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance. - He picked Vance - he knows Vance was a terrible, terrible pick - said Anthony Scaramucci, who served as White House Communications Director for just 10 days under Trump's administration.
Scaramucci believes this is typical behaviour for the former president - when something goes wrong, he flies into a rage, looks for scapegoats, and starts firing people.
Matthews, who resigned as Trump's spokesperson immediately after his move to the White House, holds a similar view. She believes the United States cannot survive a second term of Trump and refuses to support him.
He hid and looks for scapegoats
Trump is reportedly discussing with his most trusted people the firing of campaign managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, who - according to Scaramucci - are "very talented people".
While Trump hides in Mar-a-Lago and tries to shift the blame for falling in the polls, Kamala Harris is not wasting any time and is fighting for support in swing states.
