Donald Trump parted ways with campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, it was announced on Monday.

Lewandowski has been a controversial figure in this election cycle. His ouster, first reported by The New York Times, came as Trump took a dive in the polls ahead of 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," spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in a statement to the Times. "The campaign is grateful to Corey for his hard work and dedication and we wish him the best in the future."

1. What an interesting clusterfuck.I bet Lewandowski still has the ear

of Trump whether he's got an official title or not.

4. Either that, or he's drafting his "tell-all" book.

Either way, we win. The guy is poison on top of his already poisonous boss.

10. Trump has a serious personality disorder,

a severely thin skin, and a resentful, vengeful disposition toward anyone who fails to adequately respect his greatness. He requires everyone around him to behave in ways they never do normally.

Of course Lewandowski's been fired. Seems to me that with Trump long-term survival would be remarkable, a measure of ability to foresee irrational turns and impeccable sucking up, but falling afoul of His Greatness not at all.

2. Yay for *CHAOS*!1 n/t

3. you beat me to it, kpete. tRump to Lewandowski: "You're Fired"

And in November, we'll hopefully tell tRump himself: YOU are NOT hired.

5. Well,

6. trump is unmanageable

7. Narcissistic fuckwads generally are.

they're freaking out in freeperville. So much fun.

[Maven]

8. What an odd statement, with the stray reference to his "historic number of votes"

It sounds like it came from some Ministry of Propaganda

9. I'll bet Hicks had great fun making that announcement.

Apparently Lewandowski acted like a major $hit with her and other women.

11. “No one knows what’s going on."

New campaign slogan?

12. Trump's campaign has the same problem as the Washington Redskins.

Can't fire the owner.
