Tim Alberta Exposes Chaos and Infighting Within Trump’s 2024 Campaign

In a recent exposé published in *The Atlantic*, journalist Tim Alberta has provided a detailed and revealing look into the inner workings of Donald Trump‘s 2024 presidential campaign. The article highlights significant internal conflicts and chaos that have been brewing within the campaign, particularly as the election draws to a close.

Alberta’s piece reveals that Trump’s campaign staff are already shifting blame for potential losses to specific individuals, notably longtime Trump aide Corey Lewandowski and JD Vance staffer Alex Bruesewitz. Lewandowski, who was brought back on board in August, is described as his “usual anarchic self,” while Bruesewitz is blamed for amplifying negative rumors and for the controversial inclusion of insult comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

The article also underscores the lack of discipline and impulse control exhibited by Donald Trump himself. An anecdote from late June illustrates how Trump wanted to call his opponent, Joe Biden, “retarded,” but was talked out of it by his staff. This incident is cited as evidence of Trump’s ongoing lack of emotional regulation and policy knowledge.

Alberta’s reporting indicates a pervasive sense of foreboding and bad blood within the campaign. Several aides have been shopping dirt on their internal rivals, positioning themselves to take credit or deflect blame as the election concludes. This internal strife is seen as a sign that the campaign is preparing for a potential loss, rather than focusing on winning.

The chaos within the Trump campaign contrasts sharply with the disciplined and leak-free operation of Kamala Harris‘s campaign. While Harris’s team has maintained a cohesive front, Trump’s campaign is marred by infighting and public displays of dysfunction, such as Trump’s recent bizarre behavior at a rally where he mimicked fellatio with a microphone.
