This past week was undoubtedly the worst for the Trump campaign.
Every once in a while, we all have a bad week, where nothing seems to go right, and it feels like the universe is stacked against you. That was this week for Trump.
In just one week
- Trump had to defend his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, for assaulting a reporter. Her testimony said she was “jolted backwards”, and that “campaign managers aren’t supposed to try to forcefully throw reporters to the ground”. First, his campaign denied it, and then after a video of the incident, they attacked her testimony as being greatly exaggerated. After calls from other candidates to fire his campaign manager, he defended his manager and refused to fire him. His campaign manager was arrested and charged with “simple battery”.

Wow. What a week for Donald Trump. He faced a lot of controversy, and his support seems to be waning. Polls put Ted Cruz as the front runner for Wisconsin, and eyes are on Donald Trump, to see if he can stop shooting himself in the foot.
