As Donald Trump’s White House lurches from one scandal to the next, firing critics, reassigning dissenters, and burning through his first national security adviser in less than one month—even as hundreds of administration jobs remain unfilled—those Trump allies who didn’t make the cut for the White House are seizing the opportunity to take potshots at those who did.

Over the past weekend, former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski made several comments slamming Trump’s staff during interviews, saying that they had “not prepared” him well enough for briefings, leading to the dysfunctional way that Trump has handled his new position. “I think you have a President who wants to move very quickly, who has a grand vision of what he wants to accomplish and is leaving the details to the staff to implement,” he told David Axelrod during a podcast taped on Thursday.

Lewandowski, who was fired from Trump’s campaign in June, specifically placed the blame for the botched rollouts of Trump’s executive orders, particularly his immigration order, squarely on the shoulders of said staffers. “The staff has probably not prepared him as well as they could have or should have,” he said, and observed that no one on his senior staff has “ever worked inside the government.”

Lewandowski, who now runs a lobbying shop just feet from the White House and still has close ties with Trump, said he hoped the president’s staffers would work to effectively implement their boss’s vision for America—just as long as they “vetted” the policy thoroughly. He also noticeably broke from their rhetoric (and the rhetoric of his former boss) by conceding to Axelrod that contrary to what Trump has claimed, he did not see voters being bused in from Massachusetts to vote in New Hampshire. “I live on the border,” Lewandowski, himself a New Hampshire resident, said. “I didn’t see buses coming across the line to say that, hey, we’ve moved up from Massachusetts.”

Elsewhere, orbiting the Trump universe like a distant planet that has been downgraded to a lesser satellite, is New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who has also begun airing his grievances about Trump’s staffers. “The right people were not involved or consulted,” Christie, who was considered for several administration jobs before eventually finding himself exiled in the Garden State, recently said, adding that their “unforced errors” got them into situations that “have been completely avoidable.” Christie, who is reportedly still holding out hope for a White House job, had nothing negative to say about Trump himself.
