With his latest campaign shakeup, Trump is pivoting to a meaner, nastier Trump.

[spanone]

The problem with Paul Manafort, it turns out, was not that he was a shill for allies of the Kremlin. It’s that he tried to turn Trump into a respectable-ish general election politician. Now that Manafort has received a de facto demotion, to be replaced by Steve Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News, we can expect to see Trump drop any pretense of cleaning up his act. Instead, he’s reportedly going to amplify the combative persona and ethno-nationalist message that won him the GOP primary:

Costa adds that this “gloves off” strategy entails “brutal fights with Clinton” and “heavy emphasis on nationalism and populism.” Breitbart is, after all, the online world’s biggest cheerleader for Trump and the home of the political alt-right. Bannon, whom Bloomberg once dubbed “the most dangerous political operative in America,” once chided Fox News for being too liberal. As we barrel toward election day, it looks like the campaign has decided to let Trump be Trump.

1. Drumpf going absolutely the wrong way?

Who would have ever thought....

[madaboutharry]

2. I guess we're going to get the full Mussolini.

America is going to now be subjected to 82 days of fascists on parade. We will all need therapy when this is over.

[trof]

14. But can he make the trains run on time?

[uppityperson]

3. Good. Let him insult more people and lose more voters

[malaise]

4. So who's ditching him now

I can't wait to see - this should be interesting.

[spanone]

8. is there anyone he hasn't insulted? not sure. but when you partner up with breitbart.....

you're just saying.....FUCK IT

[malaise]

9. Yep that's the sewer alright

[sharp_stick]

5. I had no idea

that we were getting the warm and fuzzy Trump up until now.

This is going to get fun as his numbers crater even more.

[0rganism]

6. Manafort was one of the last vestiges of a "normal" campaign staff

the Good Ship Trump's sailing in uncharted waters from here out
crossing my fingers that they last through October

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Pretty sad that the "normal" staff was likely a Russian agent.

Shows the extent of the dysfunction of the campaign.

[smirkymonkey]

7. What a total shitshow!

[kimbutgar]

10. The lower he goes the more he will turn off people

You can only go negative before people get disgusted. Cheeto will end up hurting himself in the end and whatever " good" reputation he had will be gone.

[spanone]

11. he's so deep in the toilet, i can't wait to see it flushed

taking him and his fucking 'brand' with him.

[kimbutgar]

12. I hear you

[spanone]

13. i enjoy politics...but waking up to trump for the last, whatever, is getting sooo tiresome

that face

that voice

that person

that unbridled hate

[kimbutgar]

17. I am sick of him also

This election can't happen soon enough. I hope when he gets defeated soundly he slithers back under his rock and stays there.

The cheetoo name will not be remembered in a good way in history.

[trof]

16. LIMBO EVERYBODY!

How LOW can you GO?

[lpbk2713]

15. Is he dying his hair green?

I'd expect anything from the Trumpster.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. In that picture he looks like he's about to stroke out.

[Volaris]

20. They just put every swing state that's not Texas in the blue column then.

We should send them a case of scotch.

[spanone]

21. when they said pivot, i don't think this is what they meant!!!
