During a campaign rally in Ohio on Wednesday, Hillary Clinton took a jab at Donald Trump’s tumultuous campaign, alluding to his campaign shake-up announced Wednesday morning.

“He can hire and fire anybody he wants from his campaign, they can make him read new words from a teleprompter, but he is still the same man who insults Gold Star families, demeans women, mocks people with disabilities and thinks he knows more about ISIS than our generals,” Clinton said. “There is no new Donald Trump. This is it.”

The Trump campaign underwent staffing changes Wednesday morning, hiring Breitbart executive Steve Bannon as the new campaign CEO and naming Kellyanne Conway as the new campaign manager. The campaign also reportedly diminished Paul Manafort’s role, though he remains campaign chair. This comes after the campaign parted ways with campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in June after he reportedly clashed with Manafort.

“For anyone waiting for Donald Trump to suddenly become more responsible, remember what a great American, Maya Angelou said, ‘When someone shows you who they are, believe them.’ And I think it’s fair to say that Donald Trump has shown us who he is,” Clinton told the crowd.

    That’s what we’re all counting on, Madame President!

  2. Mayo Angelou is rich and creamy.

  3. Nice. Shake this Clownstick.

  4. The number of conspiracy theories that will emerge to explain this election and campaign will rival those dealing with JFKs assassination and the fake Moon Landings combined…

  5. Trump goes ballistic and is knocked off balance by personal insults. Hillary needs to inject in her speeches “And he has teeny-tiny hands and crosses his fingers every check he writes doesn’t bounce!”

    Go after his dick and his money. He’ll eventually stroke out over it.
