He is the greatest communicator we have ever seen as an elected official. There is no question about it.” Lewandowski made the comment after being asked on Fox News's "The Fox News Specialists" by co-host Eboni Williams if new White House chief of staff John Kelly would help the administration stay more disciplined in terms of its messaging."You have to let Trump be Trump," Lewandowski said. "I've said it 100 times in my life. Anyone who thinks he's going to change the president is not going to. He is the greatest communicator we have ever seen as an elected official. There is no question about it.”

"The president had the same message; he drove the messages," Lewandowski added after being asked if Trump was the same candidate in the primary election season compared to the general.

"Anybody who thinks they were successful and caused him to be successful is naive. This campaign was 99.9 percent Donald Trump and everyone else had a 0.1 percent role in it. He was the messenger the American people wanted."

Lewandowski was fired from the right-leaning One America News Network (OANN) on Monday, according to a report in The Daily Beast.

The 43-year-old reportedly angered OANN executives by appearing frequently on competing networks, such as Fox News.

Contributor contracts invariably call for on-air talent to only appear on the network they signed with exclusively.
