Monday was a bad day for Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. Trump fired him and he reportedly does not know why.

When asked by CNN why Trump would let him go, Lewandowski said “I don’t know. I don’t know the answer to that.”

He also praised his former boss and insisted he will do “everything” he can to make sure Trump is elected president, whether from “inside” or “outside” the campaign.

Lewandowski said:

I think Donald Trump is going to be the next president of the United States. If there’s anything I can do to help make that happen . . .  I’ll be happy to do that.

He said he told Trump on Monday “it’s been an honor and a privilege” to work for him.

Lewandowski conceded his departure came at a time when the campaign needed to “evolve” and “transition” past the lean operation that helped Trump get the nomination. He said they needed to change to compete with Hillary Clinton’s “very well-funded campaign.”

I’m proud of the campaign — I really am — but I also understand the reality of building an infrastructure coupled with the (Republican National Committee’s) 500 people on the ground.

Lewandowski said he will still chair the New Hampshire delegation at the Republican National Committee’s summer convention where Trump is set to become the official GOP nominee.
