In an interview posted on Monday, Corey Lewandowski, the former campaign manager for President Donald Trump, defended the President’s first month on office and blamed mishaps on his staff.

“The staff has probably not prepared him as well as they could have or should have as it related to some of those executive orders and the implementation and what that would mean,” Lewandowski said on David Axelrod’s podcast after arguing that Trump has begun fulfilling his campaign promises.

“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,” Lewandowski added.

He noted that many of Trump’s senior staff in the White House have not worked in government before and predicted that the Trump administration will take a more “measured” approach going forward.
