Trump insists 'great unity' in campaign

Donald Trump's campaign has perhaps never been as unified as it is now, the Republican nominee tweeted Wednesday, amid a cascade of recent reports suggesting anything but internal harmony.

"There is great unity in my campaign, perhaps greater than ever before," Trump wrote, adding, "I want to thank everyone for your tremendous support. Beat Crooked H!"

Trump's first tweet of the day follows multiple media reports about discord and unease within his campaign, including the firing of at least two senior aides that POLITICO's Kenneth Vogel and Alex Isenstadt reported was an internal shakeup.

Citing a longtime ally of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, CNBC correspondent John Harwood tweeted Tuesday that Manafort is "not challenging Trump anymore. Mailing it in. Staff suicidal." Jason Miller, Trump's senior communications adviser, responded with a Federalist article critiquing Harwood's performance as a moderator at CNBC's debate last October.

In the country, or even the party, it's an accomplishment.

In a group of people hired for one single purpose, infighting is a sign of doom.
