In the latest blast of the Trump campaign from the embittered fired campaign manager, Lewandowski is calling for the current campaign manager and his successor, Paul Manafort, to resign for the scandal surrounding the plagiarized speech delivered by Malania Trump on Monday night. I think he did great things initially for the campaign, but I think the campaign did have to evolve, did have to mature. But there he was, on CNN, claiming that he was completely ignorant of his former boss’ thought processes. The Trump campaign was reportedly taken by surprise, according to POLITICO, by the calls for Manafort’s resignation.

In the aftermath of the accusation, the Trump team released a statement saying, “In writing her attractive speech, Melania’s team of writers took notes on her life’s inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking”. So now, in addition to collecting a paycheck from CNN for providing useless analysis, he’s using his paid position at the network to carry on professional feuds with his rivals.
“She was the one that said she wrote the speech”, one reporter pressed. But those are extremely awkward questions that make for uncomfortable television segments, so they were left to the wayside.
He continued to say that while he did not see the McIver’s letter, he personally knows her and contended that she is “a very honorable person”. “Viewers should benefit, they argue, because Lewandowski actually knows how Trump makes decisions”, Folkenflik reported.
This morning, Lewandowski speculated Trump’s wife had laid out her “vision” of what she had wanted to say to the American people and that a team had put the speech together. “If it was a mistake, it was at the staff level and staff should be held accountable”, Lewandowski said.

Doesn’t seem like the viewers are getting a lot out of this arrangement, but Lewandowski certainly is.
