Trump Talking to Lewandowski Again

Donald Trump “has increasingly been back in regular contact with his former campaign manager turned CNN commentator, Corey Lewandowski,” U.S. News reports.

“Lewandowski was ousted in June at the behest of Trump’s children, who viewed him as lacking the sophisticated judgment needed to assist their wayward father. A major difference between the reigns of Lewandowski and Manafort is that Lewandowski traveled constantly with Trump, earning his trust and bending his ear. Manafort rarely hits the road and has followed a more typical template by holing up in an office with a phone to his ear and his fingers on a keyboard.”

"Look. I support the speaker and I know after next week, I'm supporting him as a candidate for president, too," Manafort said on "CBS This Morning," before quickly correcting himself amid laughter during a discussion about the Republican nominee's refusal to outright endorse the House speaker in his primary against Paul Nehlen on Tuesday.

I watched the footage. He spoke in a very deliberate manner and gave a shit-eating grin after he said it.

No way that was an accident.

4. Well, it's been proven that Trump does not like to be 'managed'

I'm sure he finds Manafort, who despite his odious history is a 'real' political operative, to be irritating, intrusive, and bossy. Nobody is allowed to be bossy around Trump but Trump, I'm sure.

They're fighting their dumster fire by moving the burning debris to another dumpster.

How on earth could Manafort influence the TV-smart phone syndrome from a distance? Does he have an assistant Trump likes better who follows him around?
