"You’re Fired" – Trump Parts Way With Campaign Manager As Clinton Lead Builds
By Tyler Durden
Update: Well that did not take long… Just as he warned – “If they’re fighting, I get rid of one or the other or do something,” Donald Trump is parting ways with his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, a move that comes as the presumptive Republican nominee faces challenges as it moves toward the general election.
“The Donald J. Trump Campaign for President, which has set a historic record in the Republican primary having received almost 14 million votes, has today announced that Corey Lewandowski will no longer be working with the campaign,” the campaign spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, said in a statement.
“The campaign is grateful to Corey for his hard work and dedication and we wish him the best in the future.”

As we detailed earlier, having pulled back to 'even' with Hillary Clinton a month ago, Donald Trump's recent media-reported faux pas have seen his popularity fade notably in recent polls. While the establishment's quiet continuing push to ouster Trump's nomination, Bloomberg reports the Republican presidential candidate is gathering his top lieutenants including members of his family, in New York on Monday to discuss a political strategy shift as he looks to move beyond recent missteps.
Trump is facing pressure from within his own inner circle — including from donors — who are growing increasingly frustrated with what they see as a lack of coordination and communication, members of Trump's staff told Bloomberg Politics, at a crucial moment in the presidential race.
There's also a growing impatience among some on Trump's payroll that the candidate has failed to fill key roles within his campaign, including traveling press secretary and communications director, while Democrat Hillary Clinton's synchronized political machine capitalized on a string of negative Trump headlines.
The frustration among Trump's allies increased after his speech last week in Manchester, N.H., where he responded to the mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub. Many in Trump's inner-circle had predicted that he would get a bump in the polls, as he did following the terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif. Instead, he faced a well-orchestrated rapid response machine from the Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party, which hammered him for days.
Polls vary from Gravis +2pts to Bloomberg +12pts leads for Clinton in the last week but overall RealClearPolitics' average suggests some abatement in Trump's slide…
But members of Trump's team also told Bloomberg Politics there still appears to be a schism between campaign chairman Paul Manafort and campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.
The campaign has built two distinct communications operations: one at its New York headquarters, and another in Cleveland for the convention. There have been instances of friction between each team.
During a swing through California last month, for instance, the campaign never publicized Trump's meeting with female executives in the state, or the endorsements from lengthy list of veterans. At the time Trump was facing questions about his failure to donate to vets groups.
While Manafort's allies blame the lapse on a power struggle, Lewandowski's backers …read more
