Donald Trump’s campaign manager denied reports that there is chaos in the campaign and staff is “suicidal.”
Paul Manafort reportedly said there was no truth to the rumor leaked by an anonymous source claiming that, behind the scenes, the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign is having a meltdown.
longtime ally of Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager: “Manafort not challenging Trump anymore. Mailing it in. Staff suicidal.”

Manafort reportedly denied the rumors, saying “all is ok on the #Trump Train.”
#PaulManafort just told me @JohnJHarwood report wrong — that all is ok on the #Trump Train. From outside of course it looks like no rails.

@JohnJHarwood longtime ally of Paul Manafort? Is that an actual thing?

@JohnJHarwood Spreading specious rumors is a form of subterfuge. Either you have a source you can name or you don’t.

Manafort was done after Melania’s speech. He was clearly prepared to throw her under the bus if necessary.— regina craig (@craig_metime) August 3, 2016
@howardfineman @JohnJHarwood Uh, Manafort denying it just makes it more likely to be true.

@JohnJHarwood saw Manafort mailing it in during Melania speech incident: appeared disinterested & lackluster. There’s nothing in it for him

@JohnJHarwood I got the impression after Trump’s convention disaster that he’d resigned himself to losing. If so, he’d be uncontrollable.

@DianneG @DanaBashCNN CNN sure does have a lot of secret sources in the Trump campaign that always turn out to be wrong, huh?

@alivitali @AdamReigner @JohnJHarwood it seems like the press has been telling us about trumps demise since March. Press = Meteorologists

@JohnJHarwood Amazing — Manafort built a career representing foreign dictators and authoritarians and Trump breaks his spirit

@JohnJHarwood and we’re back to Lewandowski’s strategy of “Let Trump be Trump” after a nice detour through Manafort-land

Trump’s senior communications advisor weighed in.
@JohnJHarwood “…known to be unabashedly liberal and very biased against conservatives.” https://t.co/k1lqXVtvAd

@JohnJHarwood This will be a colossal mess. Trump wants out. Who can the GOP put in? Tea party will object. Won’t agree. This is insane

@JohnJHarwood @JoeNBC wouldn’t it be great if everyone around Trump quit

@JohnJHarwood so his job to give Hillary the election worked.

@JohnJHarwood I was so hoping this was all a carefully coordinated plan that was too sophisticated for me to understand.
