WorldNEW YORK, AFP -Donald Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, resigned Friday under fire over a Ukrainian corruption investigation and after being sidelined in a reshuffle as the Republican nominee struggles to reverse sinking poll numbers. “The early signs are that, you know, Donald Trump 3.0 is going to work a lot better than it has in the past,” former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said on MSNBC television Friday. On Wednesday, he appeared to sideline Manafort in appointing a Breitbart News executive, Steve Bannon, as campaign CEO and promoting veteran pollster Kellyanne Conway to campaign manager. What remains unclear, however, is whether the Trump campaign can get its wheels permanently back on track. On Friday, the ticket released its first television ads, saying Clinton's America was one of disorder and illegal immigration.
