Trump Has Lost His Way

Dan Balz: “The latest shake-up in Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is rightly described as a move to ‘let Trump be Trump.’ In reality, the sudden changes highlight the fact that a politician whose instincts appeared so sure during the Republican primaries has lost his way as a general-election candidate. It remains questionable whether he can find the equilibrium and the discipline needed to turn his flailing campaign around.”

“That probably is what is behind the shifts… Coming 82 days before the general election, the staff changes had the distinct bouquet of desperation rather than the kind of routine and orderly “expansion” that the candidate and his senior advisers were saying.”
