The trouble is, when his fans said “Let Manny be Manny!” about Manny Ramirez, their guy often produced in home runs, excitement and good results for the Red Sox. Letting Trump be Trump, which seems to be the message the millionaire’s campaign is trying to send with its new hires overnight, is likely to show him in an ever-more unhinged light. Hiring Steve Bannon in particular is a indicator that rage and fury will be at the front of Trump’s new message; those have been Bannon’s stock-in-trade while he’s led Breitbart News after the death of its founder a few years ago. He’s also turned the right-wing website into an all-Trump-all-the-time outlet, which may explain why another Trump campaign staffer says this anonymously:

“He hasn’t had Trump’s ear forever, but Trump respects him,” said a campaign source, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “If you counted all the lipstick on Trump’s backside, most of it would be Breitbart red. So he’s earned his way to where he is.”
