Trump claims his party well united as Republicans in growing disarray

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 (NsNewsWire) — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, facing growing frustration and division among the Republican elite and donors, claimed Wednesday that his campaign has never been in better shape and his party has never been so well united, reports Xinhua.

“The campaign is doing really well. It’s never been so well united. It’s the best in terms of being united since we began,” Trump announced at a rally in Daytona Beach, Florida.

“I think we have never been this united,” Trump went on, despite the public view that he has been trapped in a political meltdown created largely by himself.

The New York billionaire made the remarks after being sharply criticized by Republican leaders for his feud with the parents of a Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq War and his reluctance to endorse either Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan or Arizona Senator John McCain in their re-election bid. He even praised Ryan’s primary challenger Paul Nehlen on Twitter.

Both Ryan and McCain have endorsed Trump, though they keep obvious distance and often express their disagreements with the party’s wild-card candidate.
