Trump's ex-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski blames President's inner circle including Kellyanne, Reince, Jared and Bannon for White House chaos

Donald Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has attacked his ex-boss's inner circle for the uneven start to his tenure in the White House.

Lewandowski was fired by Trump on June 20 but remained loyal to the former Apprentice star as he continued his run for the presidency.

Now in a damning interview, Lewandowski has blamed Trump's inner circle of advisers such as Kellyanne Conway, Reince Priebus, Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon for the administration's checkered beginning.

Speaking to David Axelrod's 'The Axe Files', Lewandowski said many of the recent policy decision announcements such as the immigration executive order were poorly prepared.

He said: 'You have a President who wants to move very quickly, who has a grand vision of what he wants to accomplish and is leaving the details to the staff to implement and (hoping) that the staff understands what that means.

'As I look at the totality of senior staff - and if that's Kellyanne Conway, Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus, Jared Kushner - the senior staff inside of the building, none of them have ever worked inside the government and I think it's both a plus and a minus. You don't know what you don't know.'

Lewandowski was replaced by Republican strategist Paul Manafort, who himself was dropped within two months after stories emerged about his paid lobbying efforts in Ukraine.

Lewandowski urged Trump to exercise more caution when trying to set his agenda.

He added: 'What I think you'll see moving forward hopefully is a measured approach. Not to scale back on fulfilling the promises of the campaign but making sure that you have vetted it properly not only with the right legal entities but also giving a head's up to those people in congress so you don't have backlash from your own party.'

Since taking office in January, Trump has been forced to sack his first choice as National Security Adviser Mike Flynn after the former general was accused of discussing diplomatic policy with the Russian ambassador before the inauguration.

Seems like a good analysis.

That's right.

Of course, if it were Lewandowski, it'd be the same infighting and chaos, except with him at the helm. Birds of a feather and all.

My advice to Trump is don't be an idiot. Ask yourself: " would an idiot do this thing?" If the answer is "yes" then don't do that thing.

Now that he is a public figure, Trump can't gag everybody with a NDA.  We are going to have four years of Jerry Springer.  I will imagine one (or more) of his former inner circle will write a confessional in the near future.

If Donald Trump’s campaign aides like Paul Manafort were contacting Russian officials during the campaign, then the President had nothing to do with it, claims former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

“If anybody crossed a line and gave information to a foreign agent or foreign government or foreign intelligence official, whether that’s Paul Manafort or it’s Rick Gates or anybody else, I hope they’re held accountable,” Lewandowski told David Axelrod on “The Axe Files,” a podcast from the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and CNN

Personally I don't buy that Trump was clueless but either way, this fight is going to be a hell of a show.

That's right.

Trump likes chaos, no matter who's in his inner circle. How long will McMaster and Mattis last, before they get tired of the circus?  McMaster is known for speaking "truth to power", a trait that Trump abhors when the truth is spoken to him.
