Giuliani: I want people to think Trump 'has no organization'

Donald Trump's campaign shakeup means nothing more than an expansion, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday, praising the Republican nominee's organization and recent on-message speeches.

"More people. The campaign is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. A lot of people think he has no organization. Good. I like them to think that," Giuliani said during an interview on "Fox & Friends." "The reality is I've traveled to a number of states with Donald and I've seen the organization he has."


Trump's decision to hire Stephen K. Bannon from Breitbart News as his campaign CEO and promoting chief pollster Kellyanne Conway as his campaign manager is not about strategy or a failure on the part of campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Giuliani opined.

"I think it's about management, making sure you have the right number of people in place to manage an organization that's grown dramatically, this organization is probably, you know -- I wasn't there for most of the primaries, so I can't tell you," Giuliani said.

But while acknowledging the importance of staff, Giuliani called the candidate himself "the most important thing."

"Donald Trump had two tremendous days. I mean, those two speeches were the two most substantive, I would say historic speeches that any presidential candidate has made in a very long time," Giuliani said, referring to Trump's speeches on Monday and Tuesday in Ohio and Wisconsin.

"The one yesterday, the one last night -- consider how dangerous that was. Going into Milwaukee in the middle of the riots and talking about law and order, but also talking about what needs to be done to help minority communities, African-American communities, poor communities to come out of the situation they're in," Giuliani said, referring to Trump's appearance at a taping of a Fox News town hall with Sean Hannity and subsequent speech in West Bend, Wisconsin. "No one's offered answers like that together."
