Has Roger Ailes Become A Key Strategist For The Donald Trump Campaign?
According to The New York Times, ex-Fox News CEO Roger Ailes helped oust Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and advised Trump on advertising.
You may recall that when The Times reported earlier this week that the disgraced Ailes is helping Trump prepare for the presidential debates, the Trump campaign denied it.
But according to a Times article yesterday, Ailes was very instrumental in the latest Trump campaign shakeup that included the firing of campaign manager Paul Manafort:
It was an article in The New York Times last weekend — about frequent but frustrated efforts by Mr. Trump’s top advisers to curtail his pugilistic instincts — that set off the series of events leading to Mr. Manafort’s departure.
