Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has reportedly canceled two of his upcoming campaign events.

The reports come after news surfaced Monday that the GOP nominee will be delaying a speech on immigration that was set for later this week amid new questions over his position on the issue.

Trump has canceled a Friday rally in Las Vegas scheduled at the South Point Hotel Casino and Spa, according to the Las Vegas Sun. His campaign didn't say why the event was canceled.

The Republican nominee has also canceled an Aug. 31 rally and fundraiser in Portland, Ore., according to Oregon Public Broadcasting. Trump reportedly canceled the event due to scheduling changes.

My take is that Trump's advisers are telling him to at least say for the purposes of the General election that he would continue President Obama's current actions on immigration and walk back his prior anti-immigration remarks, but the racist is having trouble even mouthing the words. His advisers are probably thinking, but you lie about everything else?

However, being a racist is Trump's whole brand.

1. Must be due to serious illness. He needs to come clean now about his health. nt

[Hokie]

13. I hear he has advanced Alzheimers

It runs in the family. I read it on the Internet so it must be true.

[klook]

28. I don't know if it's true or not. You tell me! (nt)

[Rincewind]

36. I think it it's

third stage syphilis, that would explain the mental problems.

[JoePhilly]

14. His campaign has not denied it ... what are they hiding!!??!!

[Purveyor]

27. Would be a good excuse for him to bow out without being labeled a quitter. Anyone seen Kasich? nt

[lastlib]

29. No, I think it's due to SEVERE financial problems. He should...

...release his TAX RETURNS immediately.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. tRump's hard core base would abandon him if he said he'd continue Obama's current immigration policy

[anneboleyn]

7. Exactly. They are his (racist) support base, and they want the wall and mass deportations

I think the Trump campaign got a huge amount of blowback from Trump's racist base over this proposed speech. Trump's base wants to "build the wall" (as they shout at every rally), and they will desert him if he suddenly starts giving sane speeches about immigration. Kelly Anne, trying to craft the newer, "softer" Trump (lmfao) is going to find that his base will have no "softening" on the immigration issue. Hell Trump's first telly ad is all about the scawwy evil "illegals."

15. How do They Run Ads Portraying Evil Immigrants...

...yet also claim in front of mainstream audiences that he would not actually change President Obama's approach to immigration.

[olddad56]

3. At this point, what is the use of a rally. By now, he is just preaching to the choir...

the only people who show up these days are the uneducated white males under 35 that support him, and their some of their wives.

The tooth to tattoo ratio at Donald's rallies is not improving.

[world wide wally]

4. I'm sure he's canceling appearances for health reasons

[lastlib]

30. See # 29 above. NOT health--FINANCIAL!!

We GOTTA see those tax returns NOW!!

[world wide wally]

32. I was being sarcastic

I totally agree with you

[lastlib]

40. point taken

[tclambert]

5. Can you say, "Campaign in disarray?" I'll bet you can.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Hopefully

he'll cancel all remaining campaign events and rest his case

put the country out of this misery

[Agnosticsherbet]

8. I think it'S money.

[duncang]

31. Could be the checks he gave them to hold the spots bounced.

And also heard from reliable sources he doesn't sleep well at nite. So his health must be failing. Must check the internet and google "trump mental health" rudy implied that was the only way to find a real medical diagnosis.

[TygrBright]

9. It's not like he ever had a snowball's chance in OR, anyway.

But the Las Vegas thing is a bit odd.

Perhaps they've finally convinced him to focus on specific states for specific reasons...

speculatively,
Bright

[TexasBushwhacker]

18. I was thinking the same thing.

Nevada is a possible win for him. Oregon isn't.

[bluestateguy]

10. Why?

(serious replies only)

[hibbing]

11. Some people are saying.. n/t

[PatSeg]

12. He doesn't have the stamina!

Or maybe he's taking Hillary's advice and getting some sleep.

As someone above said, it is more likely about money, but with Trump who knows.

[womanofthehills]

33. PoliticusUSA thought it might be mental instability - some kind of drama going on

[PatSeg]

39. That makes sense

I can just imagine the drama that is going on in that campaign. In a few days Kellyanne has aged ten years. Trump must be a political adviser's nightmare.

[rurallib]

16. why pivot now when there are many videos already out there that contradict

whatever he will say?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

26. Thrup takes all sides of every issue so he can always be right.

[TeamPooka]

17. He needs to hide from the Latino population in NV and maybe realized OR is a lost cause

Kellyanne must have showed him bad numbers for OR so now he's mad at them and going to punish them by not showing up.
That'll teach them.

[SCantiGOP]

19. I think they don't know what to do

If he walks back from the Wall and from Deport Them All, his original supporters are going to flip out. The immigration issue is what made his campaign. I think his latest advisors know they're screwed either way and can't decide what to do.

[Doctor Jack]

20. This was on MSN a few minutes ago

I logged into my work email via internet explorer and MSN is the homepage. This was the top article. Perhaps not a minor story...

[fierywoman]

21. no Portland because of Louisiana ...?

On Seattle NPR today, they said he was postponing the Portland fund raiser because of schedule changes BECAUSE HE WENT TO LOUISIANA LAST WEEK (?!?!?)

[Crash2Parties]

22. Based on Trump's reputation, the venues probably wanted at least half paid up front

[kskiska]

23. Maybe he's sick.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

24. The planned protests for the one here in Vegas were from his BASE....

They're PISSED at him for flip flopping on this.

[63splitwindow]

25. Definitely a sign his health is declining. Nightly treatments at his NY penthouse are not enough.

[WheelWalker]

34. Polonium poisoning?

[wheniwasincongress]

35. Will he drop out of the IAVA forum on Sept 7?

I suspect he might! He and Clinton will not know the questions beforehand!

[Trust Buster]

37. In Republican parlance, this means that Trump must have health issues for canceling 3 events.

[cbdo2007]

38. He didn't cancel the fundraisers though...hmmmm...
