President Donald Trump is considering getting the old gang back together: in a Politico report out Wednesday, sources said the president wants former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to bring order to his White House staff.
According to Politico, Trump is increasingly frustrated by the numerous scandals dogging his administration, and is turning to trusted former advisors as he loses faith in his current team:
Lewandowski was spotted at the White House on Wednesday, and reportedly met with the president. Per Politico:

(182,794 posts)The scandals are coming from the chair behind the desk.
The staffers (those that there are) are in a daily popularity contest with the press, as dismayed as the rest of us, and understandably paranoid about being charged.

Half of these "scandals" are from his own self-inflicted poison dart tweets.

So apparently, dft simply cannot incorporate "new" players in his ranks, eh? Miller is writing his drivel for overseas blabber-fests - why not find new writers?? He still talks about his effing F-35 crap - why no new material?
And now he's retrieving oldie but not-so-good remnants of his past, instead of booking some new talent - ??? - well, I - I think he's - cray

Inside Corey Lewandowski's Failed Romp in Trump's Swamp
BY JASON ZENGERLE

He was a political nobody who helped Donald Trump win the White House. Then Corey Lewandowski went to Washington, hell-bent on making his fortune and changing the lobbying game forever. Here's how those grandiose plans blew upand what they say about the sketchy new opportunities available in Trumps Washington.
The first thing Corey Lewandowski wanted to discuss was the view. "You've gotta check this out," he said, beckoning me behind his desk and pointing toward the window, eager that I appreciate his proximity to power in Donald Trump's Washington. The sky that day was the gray, gloomy color of slate. But the futurehis futureseemed to him impossibly bright.
It was January, and from the window of his still-brand-new lobbying firm, Avenue Strategies, Lewandowski directed my attention to the horizon. There, in the distance, was the clock tower of the Old Post Office Pavilion, the Romanesque Revival edifice rechristened as a Trump hotel. In the foreground, as alabaster as a wedding cake, was the White House, a prize that, even to Lewandowski, had seemed hopelessly out of reach when Trump tapped him to run his campaign in 2015. But so much had changed since thenand now even the iconography of Washington was being refashioned. For nearly a century, the straight line from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument to the Capitol had defined the city. Suddenly, all that seemed outdated to Lewandowski. He held his hands aloft andlike some latter-day L'Enfantbeheld for me a new axis of power.
"O.P.O.," he said, framing the clock tower of Trump's new hotel.
"White House." He spread his hands wider to encompass the presidential mansion.
"Avenue Strategies." He threw open his arms and looked around his office, seven stories above Pennsylvania Avenue, smack dab in the middle of the action. "This," Lewandowski said, satisfaction dripping from every syllable, "is Trump World!"
Then as now, Lewandowski's place in that kingdom was a curious one. He had come to Washington eager to make use of his connections, seemingly impatient to capitalize on his closeness to Trump. And though he had never before worked as a lobbyist, he harbored outsized ambitions to transform the entire influence industry, sharing with me a vision to utilize his own "disruptive" powerswhich he'd likened to those of Uberto build his firm into what he dreamed might one day be "a billion-dollar company."
