Donald J. Trump fired his wunderkind campaign manager Corey Lewandowski Monday at the campaign’s regular Trump Tower meeting.
“Corey was escorted out of the building,” a source close to the campaign told Breitbart News.
Lewandowski came to the meeting unaware that he had lost the support of the GOP presumptive nominee, the source said. At the meeting, attended by both senior campaign staff and members of the family, Trump reviewed different campaign metrics that were all faltering: cooperation with party leaders, fundraising, surrogate operations and most importantly the polls.
The campaign manager seemed to have run out of ideas. When the New York City developer asked Lewandowski what he would do to turn things around, the only thing he could come up with was for Trump to announce his pick for vice-president.
Pitching that as the solution sealed his fate, the source said. “The VP pick was the one piece of suspense that would make people tune into the convention—Corey wanted to give that away now? There was no way.”

Count me in that thought, boss. Occurred to me too.
Seems the concern trolls are out in force today...must be the weather.
Maybe Operation Mincemeat — Captain (Acting Major) William ‘Bill’ Martin, Royal Marines.”
If you don’t stop scaring the other noobs, you may have to be escorted from the building.
This looks an awful lot like pro-wrestling and reality TV. And Trump knows all about that.
If Trump really had someone escorted out of the building during a presidential campaign, it would be done very discreetly and not for prying eyes.
Trump loves the theatrical and this reeks of it.
I'm just not buying it...he's up to something.
“What a ridiculous statement. The majority of people who support him want to give someone else besides the political class the chance to fix this sinking ship before it’s too late.”
True. But the average Trump supporter is much more informed and much learned that the average American. Trump has a strong loyal chunk of support, no doubt. But they aren’t the majority in this nation. Too many Nimrods base their vote on what they see on Facebook, Twitter, reality shows, etc.
Trump, if he wants to have a shot, has to find a way to reach the idiot masses and then change their mind about him.
That's it. Globull warming.
I wonder if the Trump supporters will now say that he DID push that reporter
Are you suggesting that Trump spend a lot of time on Twitter and Facebook?
Contestants fired on the The Apprentice leave the building by themselves.
“I wonder if the Trump supporters will now...”
Does that mean you are not one?
I'm quite sure that Trump will put out an official statement before the day is out. I would wait for that before speculating on what did or didn't occur today.
If it turns out to be internal housecleaning, I'm good with that. As for the polls, I don't worry about them until after Labor Day.
Trump's the master at keeping his opponents off their game.
It’s to prevent theft of proprietary data. Not that I think Corey would ever do that, but the stakes are high.
Very sad about this. Campaigns always seem to have these internal battles. I like Corey.
I was about to ask Pappy the same thing.
“Are you suggesting that Trump spend a lot of time on Twitter and Facebook?”
I know he already does. But he’s a preacher only reaching the choir. They only ones seeing it are his supporters.
95% of social media out there is against him and it’s playing a part in swaying the voters.
I don’t have an answer. Trump needs to try and find some way to reach more people.
I am with you on poll numbers Sam, people are on summer vacation ect. I also don’t believe these polls the ONLY poll I am paying any attention is OANN poll they are completely unbiased they have Trump behind by 2 points which is within rate of error!!!
No. The Convention has not occurred. The Republican candidate is not official. I will vote for the Republican but that doesn’t have to mean Trump.
I vote for conservatives.
These 2 were RABID Cruz supporters I pay NO ATTENTION to anything posted by them!!!!
Brace yourselves for President Hillary....and the final destruction of the nation.

Why don’t you do something helpful and thinks of 10 things that would help Trump succeed.
I am amazed how many experts there are on FR qualified to say why Trump is finished but they cannot come up with a single idea to help Trump succeed.
Besides, according to the American Thinker Trump is up by 5 points over Hillary, but I am sure you are already aware of this.
