Trumps barn tvingade bort hans kampanjchef
Corey Lewandowski har i dag fått sparken från uppdraget som ledare för Donald Trumps valkampanj, efter att de senaste opinionsmätningarna visat på lägre väljarstöd för den republikanske kandidaten. Enligt både SR:s korrespondent i Washington och Fox News innebär dagens besked att chefsstrategen inom kampanjen, Paul Manafort som plockades in i våras, gått segrande ur en intern maktstrid.
New York Magazine skriver att Trumps vuxna barn – Ivanka, Eric och Donald Jr – krävt Lewandowskis avgång med motiveringen att han inte håller måttet.
– Det här är en kampanj som är underfinansierad och som inte är ordentligt organiserad, säger den politiske analytikern Larry Sabato till AFP.
bakgrund
Donald Trumps presidentkampanj
Wikipedia (en)
Donald Trump, an American businessman, politician, television personality, and author, is the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party for president of the United States in 2016, having won the most state primaries and caucuses and delegates to the 2016 Republican National Convention.
Trump's populist positions in opposition to illegal immigration, various free trade agreements that he believes are unfair, and most military interventionism have earned him particular support among blue-collar voters and voters without college degrees. Many of his remarks have been highly controversial and have helped his campaign garner extensive coverage by the mainstream media.
Trump's abstention from what he considers to be political correctness has been a staple theme of his campaign, and has proved to be popular among his supporters. Trump's most polarizing and widely reported statements have been about issues of immigration and border security, especially his proposed deportation of all illegal immigrants, construction of a substantial wall on the Mexico–United States border, a temporary ban on alien Muslims entering the U.S., and his characterizations of illegal immigrants traveling over the Mexican border into the U.S.
Trump's campaign rallies have attracted large crowds, as well as public controversy. A number of protesters have been asked to leave, removed by security, or arrested for trespassing at Trump's campaign events. Some of the events have been marked by incidents of violence between Trump supporters and protesters, mistreatment of some journalists, and disruption by a large group of protesters who effectively shut down a major rally in Chicago. Trump said he himself wished to punch protesters, and has defended their ejection from his events, but has also said he hopes that he has not encouraged physical force to subdue or remove protesters. In this context, Trump has made statements questioning the broad protection currently afforded to journalists against legal accusations of libel.
