It ticks me off that the media is hung up on this “Trump fired Manafort” thing when it’s very clear to anyone who was paying attention that Manafort was brought on to manage the convention. Period. End of story.
Manafort lives in the same Trump Tower in Manhattan as the Trump family. He has known Donald for more than 30 years and is very close to the Trump family. He is in effect a part of the extended family.
Paul is a retired wealthy person who never needed the job with Donald but had experience with wrangling delegates for Reagan. Donald needed that experience for Cleveland, especially from a longtime trusted friend.
Now that Paul has completed his mission in spectacular fashion, he’s doing what he wants to which is to enjoy his well-deserved retirement.
Oh by the way, what reward did the DMC put out for information leading to the capture and conviction of Seth Rich's killer(s)?
