Donald Trump’s experience in business had taught him that management changes are sometimes required for continued success. The management team that brings a corporation into existence as entrepreneurs may not be the same management team required as seasoned professionals to take a corporation public.

Trump applied this discipline to his presidential campaign. As he had hired Paul Manafort to replace Corey Lewandowski as campaign manager, the time also came to evaluate if Manafort was the best choice for the general election contest against Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton.

Trump Replaces Manafort

On Friday, August 19, 2016, Paul Manafort resigned, signaling a shake-up in the Trump campaign at the top. The Clinton-supporting press had been pushing a campaign against Manafort almost from the moment he was hired by Trump, arguing that Manafort had accepted money under the table for consulting with Ukraine’s ruling political party during the administration of Manafort’s main client, former president Viktor F. Yanukovych. “Handwritten ledgers show $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments designated for Mr. Manafort from Mr. Yanukovych’s pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012, according to Ukraine’s newly formed National Anti-Corruption Bureau,” the New York Times reported on August 14, 2016. “Investigators assert that the disbursements were part of an illegal off-the-books system whose recipients also included election officials.”2 When Manafort first joined Trump, replacing Corey Lewandowski as campaign manager, the New York Times had tried to portray Manafort as a supporter of Russian President Vladimir V. Putin, and Putin’s decision to give Yanukovych asylum in Russia after being deposed in 2014. The goal of Clinton-supporters from the time Manafort joined the Trump campaign was to assign Manafort responsibility for Trump’s alleged admiration for Putin and all things Russia.3 Despite the questionable documentation for these allegations and the absence of criminal charges against Manafort in Ukraine, the mainstream media persisted in publishing these accusations.4

Clinton crony and dirty trickster Sidney Blumenthal, and most probably Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk, engineered Manafort’s demise by pedaling bogus charges against Manafort through Ukrainian intelligence. Pinchuk’s ties to Hillary go back to the Ukrainian military coup of February 2014, when it surfaced that Pinchuk, a vocal proponent of Ukraine’s European integration, made huge contributions to the Clinton Foundation, while Hillary Clinton was the US secretary of state. Between 1999 and 2014, Ukrainian donors with ties to Pinchuk contributed almost $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, pushing England and Saudi Arabia to second and third places respectfully.5 In 2008, Blumenthal was the first “Birther,” supplying Hillary Clinton with information that Barack Obama was not born in Hawaii to use in the 2008 Democratic Party primary contest that year. Blumenthal is also the same man who invented the lie that the attack on our mission in Benghazi was caused by an anti-Islamic video shown online in Turkey.
