WASHINGTON: Donald Trump´s U.S. presidential campaign sealed a major staff reshuffle with the resignation on Friday of its campaign chairman, and the Republican **minee tried to end weeks of upheaval to focus on beating Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
The departure of Paul Manafort came as Trump tried this week to reset his u**rthodox bid for the White House after falling behind Clinton in opinion polls for the **v.8 election.
Trump said in a statement he had accepted Manafort´s resignation and praised his "great work," but did **t offer an
explanation for the departure.
Trump aides say the staff changes usher in a greater focus on policy and a more serious tone. The former reality TV host has stuck to that mission, swapping his free-wheeling rally speeches for prepared remarks that stick to a singular theme.
He has concentrated on immigration, trade deals and law and order. Speaking in Dimondale, Michigan, on Friday with the use of a teleprompter, Trump stayed clear of much of the hyperbole that has been a hallmark of his campaign.
He attacked Clinton for her position on trade agreements, telling the Michigan crowd that the Democrat would send auto
jobs to Mexico.
**netheless, he appeared to stray at times from his prepared remarks, as when he said that black voters, who overwhelmingly tell pollsters they prefer Democratic candidates, should vote for him.
"You´re living in poverty, your schools are ** good, you have ** jobs, 58 percent of your youth are unemployed," Trump said.
"What the hell do you have to lose?"Trump, who has never held elected ******, did **t refer to his staffing changes, but in an interview earlier on Friday his son Eric Trump said unflattering headlines about Manafort had
taken a toll.
"I think my father didn´t want to be, you k**w, distracted by, you k**w, whatever things that, you k**w, Paul was dealing with," he told the Fox News Channel´s "Sunday Morning Futures", while also praising Manafort´s work for the campaign.
Questions have arisen about Manafort´s previous work for the political party of the Kremlin-backed former Ukrainian leader, Viktor Yanukovich.
Federal investigators from the U. S. Department of Justice are examining American ties to corruption in Ukraine, CNN
reported on Friday.
