Breaking news apparently.

With less than three weeks until Election Day, Donald Trump is dipping in the polls and struggling to get out of a dismal news cycle focused on allegations of sexual assault and a damning audio recording that caught him boasting about grabbing women’s genitals.

But as New York magazine’s Gabriel Sherman revealed on stage at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit on Wednesday morning, Trump has lost one key ally: Roger Ailes. The former Fox News boss had reportedly served as an advisor to Trump throughout the campaign. He was said to have played a particularly important role as of late, helping him prepare for the presidential debates.

That's all changed now, according to Sherman and Vanity Fair contributing editor Sarah Ellison. The reason for the fallout depends on who you ask.

“Ailes’s camp said Ailes learned that Trump couldn’t focus—surprise, surprise—and that advising him was a waste of time,” Sherman said. “These debate prep sessions weren’t going anywhere.”

On the Trump side, Ellison said the story is different: “Even for the second debate, Ailes kept going off on tangents and talking about his war stories while he was supposed to be prepping Trump.”

[Ninja Scooter]

Trump has ended friendship with Ailes.

Now Bannon is his best friend.

 

[kris.]

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Wow just like Mudasir and Asif

Trump has ended friendship with Ailes.

Now Bannon is his best friend.

Came for this, left satisfied

 

[EatinOlives]

It's impressive that Ailes thought Trump ever had a real shot in the first place. Dude was floundering even when he joined.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Interesting but not too surprising. I think the whole Trump TV thing wont pan out to be much either.

 

[DorkLord54]

I hate Ailes with a passion, but I'll believe his camp's story long before Donald's, especially since their's sounds like Grade-A projection.

 

[Viewt]

No surprise. When you take two serial deviants with inferiority complexes and decades of unchecked entitlement, neither is going to be comfortable ceding ground.

 

[Africanus]

Oh dear.

 

[Rapscallion]

Probably went to grope the same woman and got into a fight over it.

 

[Username1198]

TThats good those twos sleaziness was gonna fuse soon to make one gigantic fat orange asshole

 

[fallengorn]

They were both in a dark room and inadvertently groped each other.

 

[deadlast]

I was expecting this

They were both in a dark room and inadvertently groped each other.

"Wait, that's no pussy!"

 

[Super_Cobra]

Imploding right before the election Jesus.

 

[RustyNails]

I was expecting this

Me too.

But who is Trump's best friend now?

 

[Duress]

I was expecting this

First thing I thought of. Thank you!

 

[deadlast]

Me too.

But who is Trump's best friend now?

Alex Jones?

 

[tuffy]

It's clear Trump's incapable of any sort of focus or preparation just by watching how terrible his debate performances have been.

 

[many places]

Can't wait to tune into Deplorable News Network, a Drumpf Company.

 

[HStallion]

Me too.

But who is Trump's best friend now?

Putin?

 

[Robdraggoo]

Who the hell is going to pick up a trump network after this. Or do business with him?

When he loses his brand will be toxic sludge

 

[Toxi]

I wonder if even Bannon will fall.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I was expecting this

The ultimate betrayal.

 

[Mollymauk]

They made up y'all.

 

[Dan]

So each side is accusing the other of being unable to focus. That's cute.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Me too.

But who is Trump's best friend now?

Himself

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Wow just like Mudasir and Asif

Heheheheehe

 

[radios shipping overview]

Are Downfall gifs apropos right about now?

 

[Androidsleeps]

Tonight's debate will be fun

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Ailes joked with Trump about his sexual assault methods, called a Ivanka a piece of ass and told Donald they'd be married when she matures a bit.

 

[LucidMomentum]

They made up y'all.

This is my favorite anime.

 

[adamantypants]

I can't wait for the 2016 Trump campaign documentary

 

[Glix]

Wow just like Mudasir and Asif

They are friends again now.

 

[Slayven]

There is a limit to how much shit can fit in one place

 

[Byakuya769]

First and last time I'll say this.

I believe and agree with Ailes.

 

[skullmuffins]

 

[rhandino]

So Donald Trump is 100% a giant orange mouthpiece for Bannon now? SAD!

I was expecting this

I need a ver. of this with Trump, Ailes and Bannon as;doaslkd

 

[Clefargle]

Love this. I hope everyone that supported this raging fascist moron simultaneously abandons him while getting dragged down by his undertow and stained for life by association. Good fucking riddance.

 

[Snkfanatic]
