In an interview posted on Monday, Corey Lewandowski, the former campaign manager for President Donald Trump, defended the President's first month on office and blamed mishaps on his staff.

"The staff has probably not prepared him as well as they could have or should have as it related to some of those executive orders and the implementation and what that would mean," Lewandowski said on David Axelrod's podcast after arguing that Trump has begun fulfilling his campaign promises.

“I think 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," Lewandowski added.

He noted that many of Trump's senior staff in the White House have not worked in government before and predicted that the Trump administration will take a more "measured" approach going forward.

1. So it's not a well-tuned machine

Who will tell the children?

[msanthrope]

19. It's a well-oiled Charlie Sheen. nt

[onecaliberal]

2. Oh please, the maggot is more stupid than a bag of dirt. He literally pulls

Things out of his ass, see Sweden comments. You can't brief this person, his low intellect is a barrier to comprehension. There is no curiosity or willingness to learn or pay attention or ensure statements are factual.

[Dustlawyer]

26. Trump burned by actual fake news from Tucker Carlson, a rich man's Billy Bush.

Trump quotes the National Inquirer and complains about "fake news."

You are right, he doesn't want to learn the truth, he just uses what he wants from the media to generate white noise that covers up his actual dirt.

[titaniumsalute]

3. Trump listens to NO ONE

[NastyRiffraff]

4. His senior staff has not worked in government before

And whose fault is that? Dump/Bannon chose to fill the WH staff with incompetent amateurs. They don't get to blame the results on the staff they hired. Hell, most of his Cabinet has no government experience, so it's not surprising the staff doesn't.

[Javaman]

5. the orange menace has long lived in a world of yes people...

and as such, never ever had to apply critical thinking.

they did the "thinking" for him, or more than likely, the orange menace had a cleam up crew follow him where ever he went to unfuck his fuck ups.

now that he's on the worlds stage and can't rule via fiat, he had a hard time comprehending why everyone doesn't think he's just the the best.

this is a classic example of someone born on homeplate and thinks they just hit a grand slam.

intellectually incurious, know it all, asshole.

6. One of the worst turds is floating again - Corey is utterly worthless.

[turbinetree]

7. You mean to tell everyone there old Corey, that crayons he is using and leaving it to side kicks

for details. Like don't bother me with piddly stuff, is this what your saying about the sexual predator and his agenda. So he can just bloviator on policy: here you go Lewendowski is the definition of your pal:


Blowviator:

"To discourse at length in a pompous or boastful manner"


I want you to repeat this line for everyone to show how stupid you really are, here goes:


“I think 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," Lewandowski added."

8. A more measured approach. As opposed to flooring it out of the driveway and killing the neighbor's

dog?

[lark]

9. Lies and the lying liar that tells them.

Lewandowski is a stooge for Russia and what he says is meaningless and automatic pro-Drumpf drivel, as long as Drumpf remains Russia's (paid?) stooge.

Drumpf is the one who put the demented fascist duo of Miller and Bannon on his team. They are know-nothing racists and conspiracy theorists, with zero government experience, yet he put Bannon in the Principals Meeting.

[jmowreader]

10. Well Corey, there's a problem with that

We're talking Donald Trump, who is a Boss. And the Boss, you see, is always Right.

Most of us have worked for a boss that couldn't take responsibility for his mistakes. Trump's one of those bosses. Problem is, now his mistakes can't be covered up by greasing the palm of an inspector or changing a few words in an ad. Now his mistakes can, and already have, gotten people killed and damaged relations with our friends.

[riversedge]

11. I do not think Trump would listen anyway.

[JHB]

12. So, Corey, in which episode does he plan to fire them? Can we skip ahead to that?

Oh, heck, let's just skip right to the season finale of The Kremlin Don Show, where Donnie is the one who is gets the boot.

[GeorgeGist]

13. Hey, Corey...

it's known as INCOMPETENCE.

[bora13]

14. also incontinence

his aides have not properly outfitted him with depends. Maybe he can
order some through the NASA supply chain now that he is president.

[NCjack]

15. The only way to load briefing information into #45's brain

is to beat it in with a hammer.

[Sunlei]

16. so when will Republicans finish the damn transition? 100s of Obama staff are waiting to get out.

Pence is doing all the 'presidents' work. Other Republicans need to step in and help their unfit president.

[KittyWampus]

17. you can't prepare someone who doesn't want to bother working

[Tanuki]

18. Trump didn't prepare HIMSELF as well as he should have.

He doesn't appear to have prepared himself at all, or to have the capacity or inclination to remedy the situation. He is in over his head, and that should not be surprising to anyone who was paying attention during the campaign. What a ridiculous excuse.

[Cha]

20. That's trump's fault.. he should have hired better people. Don't

try to shift the blame, corey.

[Amaryllis]

23. Better people dont want to work for him.

[Rex]

21. It's always someone elses fault.

[Denzil_DC]

22. This is what happens when you go for a job but don't have a frikkin clue

about what it involves and what the limits of your powers and responsibilities will be.

I'm not an American, but I know a damn sight more about your Constitution than your "so-called" president does.

That's a pretty low bar, obviously ...

[Kennah]

24. So they are switching to Thorazine? (n/t)

[nikibatts]

25. Could be that his staff are as dense as he is.

[yellowcanine]

27. Corey is having buyer's remorse. Sad!
