We knew you would be here for us. Glad you arnent playing golf. Donald trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Here. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Joining us from washington. The Trump Campaign announced in a statement that Paul Manafort submitted his resignation and the campaign accepted it, what more do we know about how this unfolded . Reporter in light of this staff shaken up this week, it was very clear that Paul Manafort quite frankly was not on this new trump train as it was leaving the station on this new direction that the Trump Campaign is trying to go. His role had been sidelined in recent weeks and he once had an influential voice within the campaign but that had been diminished in recent weeks in light to have shifting power die in dynamics taking place, he announced that he was becoming a distraction for the campaign, and since he was brought in on the campaign in the spring he was trying to pressure donald trump to be more president ial, reassure more established republicans that he could be the republican they wanted him to be, read off teleprompters and things, so this resignation and feeling that he was being pushed out is an acknowledgment that they were sort of veering off a course or that approach was not working a really dramatic and hard few weeks for the Trump Campaign. What about Russian Forces in the campaign and really the Political Party there, hes been under investigation for this, for possible cash payments, theres no record he got that money, but still something weve been reading reports about. Him getting these headlines, was that part of this . Reporter definitely seems to be in large part of this because quite frankly it was another layer in an already complex few weeks for the campaign that they feel they needed to deal with with all the scrutiny and added pressure. They put out their trumps son to explain Paul Manaforts departure and he used the word distraction. Here is more of what he had to say. I think my father didnt want to be distracted by whatever things that paul was dealing with. Paul was amazing and he helped us get through the primary process, helped us get through the convention and did a great job with the delegates and now you look at kellie anne and some of the other people coming in and theyre absolutely fantastic and are going to be the ones that bring us through november 8th and the victory and again i dont think my father wanted the distraction looming over the campaign an quite frankly all the distractions Hillary Clinton is dealing with right now. Reporter that looming really caught my ear right now. No campaign wants to be in a position of explaining than a position of power, and attention on a staffer rather than the candidate. Thank you for that report. While Hillary Clintons team has been in place for months this is the third major shakeup for donald trump in months the first you had Corey Lewandowski ousted in june, hes now a cnn commentator, before we get do that i just want to ask losing one of your top campaign staf r staffers 81 days away this is a sign that a campaign is struggling. First thank you for having me, second the campaign has continued to to build his team loyal to him and embraced the fact that he has been authentic and wants to change d. C. And it is about the name on his door, having that Comfort Level with people closest to him and making sure theyre allowing him to b running the type of campaign and strategy and i think thats the most important thing right now. You said youre not sure this is the last shakeup for the campaign. What did you mean by that . Well, no, what i think is you brought in Kellyanne Conway to manage the campaign, shes known donald trump 15 years, bring in steve bannon, what youre going to see is additions to the team, see the team continue to grow, senior people coming on board people who have been loyal to mr. Trump and known him for a long period of time will be coming on in the last 80 days to make sure he has the best team and geared up for victory. Today donald trump and mike pence well sooereceived certainy supporters there but going there saying look, we are responding acknowledging something that theyre trying to put out a face of being president ial and reactive to this tragedy. Why have this resignation sucking up all of the oxygen on a day where this is really the only image that politically speaking that donald trump should want out there . I think eric said it very clearly, his father does not want the distraction or potential distraction of more stories coming about Paul Manafort or any relationships or ties he has taking place overseas so thing this on a friday in the summer is unfortunate, it couples same day that manafort is going to be is there ever a good time . The answer is no, this story ends today an they can move on. Your relationship with Paul Manafort its fair to say to say youre not besties, but describe your relationship now, have you talked to him today recently here in the last few days . I havent talked to paul but i can tell you because ive been there. Ive been there where you put your heart around soul into something for a long period of time and now youre not part of it anymore and its tough and humbling because i know how much time an effort hes taken away from his family, children and wife to be part of this campaign and its a very hard thing to do so and in that regard i understand because its really tough, with that being said it should never be about a staffer but about the candidate. And this idea of let donald trump be donald trump because when you left the campaign it was seen as a rebuke of let trump be trump strad ji direct strategy and now the course direction is to go back toward that, does that way in some way in your mind redeem yours as Campaign Manager . Mine has been very simple, you have the best candidate, best raw political talent this nation has seen in 100 years, he came from nowhere, republican nominee for the yooitunited sta he has had the finger on the American Pulse for dozens of years and just decided to get into this race and his message has resonated with the blue collar people they are fed up with the people in washington. I think it authenticates how authentic he is, and his team understand also understands that. I want to show you something you retweeted not long after this news of Paul Manafort came out. I want says lewandowski is winning so much even he may get tired of winning. Its not bit of a jump, its a bit of a celebration or perhaps a sense of redemption for you. Let me say ill never get tired of winning, this is something we talked a lot about in the campaign, he said were going to win so much you will get tired of it. I want to see donald trump win and see him win the president of the United States, i think its fair to say the last three or four weeks of this campaign have not gone well, they have missed opportunity to go after hillary when they shouldnt have, i want the campaign back on message. This week for the campaign has been a phenomenal one. Hes been on message, very clear, very articulate. You heard a speech last night that is widely praised. In a good way, thats what i think. Are you talking to the campaign about perhaps rejoining. As you know i work for cnn and look i would be a distraction to that campaign, you know that and i know that and im very happy to participate through cnn and talk about what i think the campaign is doing right and wrong in the Trump Campaign and Clinton Campaign so im very happy doing what im doing. By your admission looking back these last three or four weeks havent been very good for your loss, down in the battle states do you think that was him or where do you place the responsibility as they try to adjust . Well, a couple ofl thi thing putting him in states that arent traditionally battleground states, i also think if you look at the lack of a field team in a state like florida only one office up an running, that is not on the candidate. That is on the staff responsibility to get a get out and vote program. Theres some blame clearly at the staff level because that should have been going on and i think what you see now is see donald trump clearly focused. His message is good, strong, articulate. This is going to be a very, very good week for the trump week. You dont have to win every week, you have to win every day. He is winning every day now. Those are live pictures coming to you of donald trump. He is in saint lamonte, louisiana, by his said mike pence his running mate. He is visiting flood victims, tens of thousands of people who have been put out of their homes because of flooding and are now involved in cleanup in this historic flood area. Pardon me i want to correct myself. Santa mmo santamon, thats where he is in louisiana, all of this happening, and you see donald trump passing out supplies along with mike pence, this all happening as Donald Trumps former Campaign ChairmanPaul Manafort resigning following a major shakeup in his campaign. Were going to keep looking at these pictures as we talk about this news with Paul Manafort swept in a few months ago as an agent of change. Now he is out, right, out of the campaign, just days after a new Campaign Structure put in place. We have David Chalian here with me. I want to get your reaction to what we just heard from Corey Lewandows lewandowski, he said if he were doing this he would not have donald trump in places like connecticut or wisconsin accept wisconsin he sort of has been struggling in certain parpt p of the state. I think it has been a little illusive, i dont know that they have written it off yet. Where they are concentrating their dollars which is always the best place to look is florida, ohio, North Carolina, pennsylvania. Thats the states that are seeing the First Campaign ad of the cycle starting today. So with Paul Manafort gone, the campaign saying this is not a shakeup are, its an expansion. It is more true not today. We see whats going on, so with that in mind, how is this not just a turnback to where the campaign was when Corey Lewandowski and unbridled donald trump that struggled to gain voters. I try not to look at these as binary, that hes just trying to focus on more moderate voters, i think he is focused on winning the election and to do that he feels a lot of different notes have to be played, right . He needs to every day take the case to Hillary Clinton and bringing on steve bannon with supporting the cash stuff and taking on hillary with breitbart, thats what he wants to be playing and also notes like in charlotte, North Carolina and clearly Kellyanne Conway is having an impact on that kind of language, so i dont think it is what is the real donald trump, i think what we are seeing is a candidate clearly as cory said clearly aware that the campaign was going south and is trying to turn the ship around and i think that requires multiple versions of donald trump with consistent messaging against Hillary Clinton an consistent messaging that can be seen as welcoming to more voters than he already has in his pole. I want to talk about these live pictures where donald trump and mike pence are visiting louisiana flood victims. We just got word that Hillary Clinton spoke with the governor. Governor edwards, who had warnd about a photo op. I want to talk about the landscape of this, where some have said to the president hey, why arent you coming to flood zone, hes at Marthas Vineyard. And then you have two candidates. This is not new that american politics that a big tragic thing takes place and politicians want to be there for support and learn what has happened on the ground, so i think what youre seeing that ill leave the president aside for the moment but the two candidates, donald trump seizing this opportunity to get on the ground learn firsthand what went on there, you saw the picture,s, thats president ial campaign 101 there. Its sort of a picture that we dont normally see. Exactly. Its like a new version of donald trump in a news e57 lve like that, just talking to folks in the campaign, he really did want to get a sense of what was going on. For Hillary Clinton on the same day, saying im told the best way we can help is to get money to the red cross, shes now trying to fund raise and get some funds down there in a clear signal that said im not sure the best way is to be on the ground right now that very same democratic governor president obama said he would be a diversion of resources right now if he were to come on the ground which both parties have been somewhat concerned about in issues like this. Clearly when an issue like this is in the news the candidates do want to seem in touch with the pain experiencing and i think were seeing that on both sides. George bush made the wrong decision by not going to katrina, so its a risky decision they make. David chalian thank you so much. Up next a closer look of Donald Trumps tour of louisiana.

More than 40,000 homes have been damaged. Trump landed at the airport in baton rouge this morning, he visited a church, met with volunteers from smartens purse and also toured a school damaged by floodwaters. Lets get more. We have rosa flores joining us no from louisiana. You have been covering this tragedy and now covering Donald Trumps visit to this area. How have people been reacting to him . Reporter im here with sheriff jeff wylie, he was the official who briefed donald trump in a sense, sheriff tell us about it. What did you tell donald trump . We had a few minutes with him. We were glad that he came. Anything, anybody who can bring this story and thank you to cnn across the country and the world we want to avail ourselves to that. He was really nice to come here, we had fire, national guard, state agency, Law Enforcement in a room to where he could hear a little bit of the circumstances we were in and two of them one of them a faith based representative who is really engaged in service as well and both of their homes theyre homeless and theyre still working and still serving others so we wanted him to see this and the governor, Vice President nominee and walk in and see 100 National Guardsmen sleeping 24 7 next door because the stations are all washed out. Reporter we should point this out this is sort of a makeshift fire station, because the fire stations in the area got water. Because of the optics of donald trump visiting southern louisiana as a leader did he ask the right questions . Well, hes not president yet. He asked the right questions, january 2nd this would be the one, were happy he came but yes you ask the right questions and the right comments in five mi
