Give the poor guy his phone back.

Several advisers warned him that he risked becoming like a wild animal chasing its prey so zealously that it raced over a cliff — a reminder that he could pursue his grievances and his eagerness to fling insults, but that the cost would be a plunge into an electoral abyss.

Taking away Twitter turned out to be an essential move by his press team, which deprived him of a previously unfiltered channel for his aggressions.

His staff clearly just wants him to shut up at this point. With the media and the FBI doing what they are doing that's not a bad idea.

Lewandowski is still a part of the campaign

The spoiled child in an old man's body appears to be insane, and his people know it. What in God's name do they think they would actually do with him in the White House?
