Donald Trump parted ways with campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, it was announced on Monday.
Lewandowski has been a controversial figure in this election cycle. His ouster, first reported by The New York Times, came as Trump took a dive in the polls ahead of the general election.
"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 said in a statement to the Times. "The campaign is grateful to Corey for his hard work and dedication and we wish him the best in the future."

Of course Lewandowski's been fired. Seems to me that with Trump long-term survival would be remarkable, a measure of ability to foresee irrational turns and impeccable sucking up, but falling afoul of His Greatness not at all.
