Republicans Cast Into Turmoil As Donald Trump Rides The Populist Surge
For Donald Trump the entrepreneur, it was a damaging week. Two major television networks severed ties, Macy’s dropped his clothing line and Carlos Slim, the even richer Mexican tycoon, ended a joint venture with him.
But for Donald Trump the inveterate showman and Republican challengerfor president, the week was a triumph as he climbed in the opinion polls anddominated media coverage, despite the backlash against his decision to condemn Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug traffickers.
“Wow, Huffington Post just stated that I am number one in the polls of Republican candidates,” the brash billionaire bragged as the week closed, citing the liberal media outlet that has been a platform for many of the strongest attacks on him. “Thank you, but the work has just begun!”
Mr Trump was touting his first place in an average of 105 polls. Of the 14 candidates who have declared, Trump topped the field with 13.6 per cent support to 13.3 per cent for Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and son and brother of two past presidents.
