Maggie Haberman reveals the 'mess' Trump's team is trying to clean up involving mega-donor

Donald Trump isn't making things easy for his advisors, who now have to try and mend relations with a conservative mega-donor that Trump lashed out at over text.

That's according to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who shared the information during a CNN interview Wednesday night with Kaitlan Collins.

"It's a mess that Trump world would like to not be dealing with," Haberman said.

Trump's texts to Miriam Adelson, which accused her Preserve America PAC of being run by "RINOS," reveal how Trump is coping with recent setbacks. The Republican nominee's "anger is seeping out," Haberman notes, leading to "erratic behavior that people around him are seeing and seeing during times of stress."

His team has begged the former president to stay on message, but Haberman said Trump could not help himself from veering during a Wednesday campaign stop in Asheville, North Carolina.

At this point in the campaign, Haberman said Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, may actually be doing a better job as an "attack dog" while staying on target.

"He's actually delivering a more coherent message than Trump is about Harris," Haberman said. "Trump talking about the economy today is what his advisors wanted him to do because that's an area that he does well on against Harris."

"He still would prefer to attack," Haberman said.
