REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL Donald Trump has shaken up his team as he looks ahead to November’s showdown with Hillary Clinton in the general election – dropping his controversial campaign manager.
Corey Lewandowski – who had led the mogul’s campaign from the start and was credited with Trump’s initial breakthrough in the primaries – has recently been sidelined, with more experienced political operatives taking over in the run-up to November.
Lewandowski courted controversy earlier this year over a March run-in with a reporter at a Trump rally.
She accused him of roughly grabbing her, leaving bruises, but he denied that account. Florida prosecutors opted to drop all charges.
“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 told The New York Times in a statement.
The campaign is grateful to Corey for his hard work and dedication and we wish him the best in the future.
Trump’s team did not specify the terms of Lewandowski’s departure. However, the Guardian, quoting a source, said the news came as a surprise to the advisor when Trump informed him this morning.
The 70-year-old Trump has recently taken a hit in the national polls, and sources within his campaign told the Times that he was looking to make changes ahead of the Republican national convention in mid-July.
Lewandowski’s campaign vision to ‘let Trump be Trump’ is credited with helping the New Yorker to an unlikely primary campaign victory.
The presumptive GOP nominee is due in Scotland this week – and will host a press conference at his Turnberry resort on Friday morning, the day after the Brexit referendum.

I hate McDonald’s and yet I find their double cheeseburgers annoyingly addictive…

Mar tá siad lá le siúrce agus cimicí chun go mbeidh tú tugtha dóibh.
Gaeltan,

Is maith liom sceallóga agus ispíní.
Eh?
Breaking News: James Franco worked in McDonald’s. Bad day at the office Journal?
I know the feeling James, mc Donald’s has often taken me out of a hole too.
Ironic, mackers has taken the hole out of me more than once.
Silly boy.
To be fair it reads a bit like james got a few dollars for reading that script!
McDonald’s where even the salads are unhealthy.
Pure manure!!
Terrible actor, brutal Director and an even worse artist… one guy that should have never given up the day job…
What have you done lately?
Let’s put this to bed once and for all…Big Mac or Whopper??
Neither.
Big Mac on its own or a Whopper if you whack a few BK onion rings into it! Now thats me darza!!
The double cheeseburger for €2
Often emptied my hole!!
Caroline did?
She always was dirty.
Ask the lads…..
Yeah, Cal is well known………
A “full Irish breakfast” is far more dangerous to your waistline than anything served up in McDonalds.
Anyway,why pick on McDonalds?
ALL restaurants serve up fattening foods.
Ever wondered what’s in that “Nouveau Cusine” they serve up in upmarket restaurants?
At least McDonalds is spotlessly clean and hygienic.
Unlike a lot of other “greasy spoon” dumps you see on the high street.
And a LOT cleaner and hygienic than most Irish kitchens I have seen.
McDonalds sells happiness. I’d have it every other month but never as my main meal of the day.
Large chicken legend meal, salsa, no bacon, with coke. That’s the one and only meal I eat at McDonalds and I’d happily eat it everyday if I could get away with it. Add chicken nuggets and its €10 exactly.
have your say
