CNN contributor compares Trump’s campaign to Chris Farley’s final days
A Donald Trump supporter on Thursday compared the current state of Trump’s presidential campaign to Chris Farley’s final days before his death.
“Over the last few days, I’m not surprised to see people running for the hills,” talk show host John Phillips, an outspoken Trump backer, said on CNN.
{mosads}“The last 72 hours for Donald Trump have been the political equivalent of Chris Farley’s final 72 hours on planet Earth.”
Farley, a star on “Saturday Night Live” and big-screen hits such as “Tommy Boy” and “Black Sheep,” died at age 33 after a drug overdose.
Trump’s poll numbers have plummeted in the last week in the wake of several controversies. Among them, the businessman attacked the Muslim family of a U.S. soldier killed in the Iraq War.
“Look, Rudy Giuliani and Newt Gingrich say they’re planning an intervention. Sign me up,” joked Phillips, a CNN contributor.
“I’ll bring Dr. Drew, the burlap sack and the station wagon, because this guy needs to get back on track.”
Democrat Hillary Clinton led Trump in the last 10 national polls, according to RealClearPolitics.
Trump led the RealClearPolitics polling average by about 1 point on July 27. Today, Clinton leads by nearly 6 points.
