I think the main problem was that Manafort’s connections in the former USSR were creating radio interference for Trump’s message.
Trump did what any good CEO would do. He cut short the problem. My guess is that Manafort understands this perfectly, and that he will be well taken care of.
This is CEO behavior.
Exactly. Like Lewandowski, Manafort understands the nature of this move.
Trump understands the MSM's MO extremely well. He knows that like a Zombie, they must now scramble for their next body elsewhere.
Fairly salient analysis, albeit Manafort is wealthy - like oligarch wealthy - and doesn't need much taking care of lol...Manafort came aboard more as a favor to Trump and nothing like an employee...
