Donald Trump: Corey Lewandowski Out As Campaign Manager

Donald Trump has once again shook up the 2016 presidential campaign — with the presumed Republican nominee making a bombshell announcement that he's ditching longtime campaign manager Corey Lewandowski! "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," said Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks.

"The campaign is grateful to Corey for his hard work and dedication," added the spokeswoman, "and we wish him the best in the future." It's the latest sign that the political firebrand is ready to reach out across the political aisles and begin to cultivate votes from an even broader electorate — after the fearless politician shocked longtime political pundits by cruising to victory over a wide range of Republican opponents in the primaries!

Political insiders quickly speculated that Lewandoski's departure from the campaign had been a carefully kept secret for several weeks, as part of Trump's transition into taking on Hillary Clinton in the presidential campaign. Trump is now reportedly focusing on uniting Republicans while continuing to bring in unprecedented numbers of independent voters — in a surprise move that analysts believe has left the Clinton campaign in turmoil!
