Trump adviser in Florida resigns, citing discomfort with campaign 'direction'
Source: Politico
It is clear the campaign is now going in a direction I am no longer comfortable with and I have decided to move on, Healy Baumgardner, a longtime GOP operative, told Bloomberg.
The resignation follows a series of late-night tweets from Trump's account directed at former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, whose story of insulting treatment by Trump was cited by Hillary Clinton in Monday's presidential debate.
When he was a top executive with the Miss Universe pageant, Trump called Machado Miss Piggy and Miss Housekeeping. Machado was crowned Miss Venezuela in 1996.

It is never too late to do the right thing.

conversation about abuse of all types, narcissistic personality
disorder as well as psychopaths, sociopaths, bullying, dominance.
It's all the same root: personality, and sub-cultures, and the way
personality develops and grows throughout life.

(11,495 posts)I think many people working for Trump will see that it's time to jump ship in the coming weeks. If they stay, and keep up their lying for him, their future will be very dim. I think once they realize that they will be linked to any more of the shit Trump spews out, those with half a brain will jump ship. Those who stay will go down with Trump.
