Trump Plans Pivot to the Economy

Paul Manafort denied that Donald Trump’s aides mounted an emergency intervention this week to bring the candidate back on message, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Said Manafort: “Starting Monday, we’re going to be announcing our economic plan. When we do that, we’re comfortable we can get the agenda and the narrative of the campaign back on where it belongs, which is comparing the tepid economy under Obama and Clinton, versus the kind of growth economy that Mr. Trump wants to build.”

He added: “He is very focused. He knows what he needs to do. I am confident he is going to start doing it and eventually the media will start having to cover it.”
