SCAM ARTISTS: Four More Years of Corey Lewandowski, God Help Us

[DonViejo]

Trump’s female-assaulting yes-man is back as an informal advisor, in a role that may give him significant sway over the president-elect.

The election of Donald Trump as president of the United States has implications for virtually every facet of American life, domestic policy, foreign policy and, more broadly, our standing in the world. But amid very real concerns about how, exactly, he’ll decide to govern and who, exactly, he’ll enlist to help, is another worrying reality: The vast and unpalatable network of know-nothing yes-men and morally bankrupt strivers surrounding Donald Trump the Candidate didn’t vanish on Election Day, and their presence now deserves more scrutiny, as it has the potential to change more than just what we hear on cable television, but the trajectory of the next four years.

Which brings us to Corey Lewandowski.

Lewandowski is a short, nerve-ending of a man powered by energy drinks and contempt. Despite never having run a presidential campaign before, he served as Trump’s first presidential campaign manager. In that capacity, he abided by the general rule, “let Trump be Trump.” In March, he forcibly grabbed a female reporter at a campaign event in Jupiter, Florida, leaving her with bruises on her arm. He was arrested after the incident, but not prosecuted.

Lewandowski wasn’t long for the Trump campaign, at least not officially. A few months after the Jupiter incident, in June, he was fired, though he continued receiving substantial payment and remained in contact with Trump, even after being hired as a commentator by CNN. On air, he acted as an unofficial spokesman for the candidate, never uttering a critical word and often contorting himself uncomfortably to answer for his sins.

1. In New York real estate, spoken words are of little value

Can President Trump assume a position of real authority at home or in the world if his own lackeys maintain that his words—arguably one of the most vital tools a president has—have no meaning?

While verbal contracts can be made and enforced, usually, the palaver that precedes a written contract is of no value. So Trump's spoken words have to be regarded the same way that you'd regard the speech of a real estate agent or used car salesman.
