Lewandowski: If you don’t support Trump’s agenda, ‘you might not want to be in the building’

President Trump’s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, said Sunday that administration officials need to be in line with the president’s agenda.

“You can have a disagreement with the president. He wants to have conversations on all sides but when the decision is made, you have to be on the team because the president is the final arbiter,” Lewandowski said on NBC’s “Meet The Press.”

His comments follow high-level shake-ups in the Trump administration. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, top economic adviser Gary Cohn and national security adviser H.R. McMaster have all left the White House in recent weeks. 

{mosads}Tillerson and McMaster both frequently clashed with the president and publicly voiced differing opinions, while Cohn resigned amid a disagreement over Trump’s decision to implement steel and aluminum tariffs.

Lewandowski on Sunday said Trump is willing to listen to conflicting opinions, but those who disagree with his policy positions “might not want to be in the building.”

“When [Trump] brings in new individuals, he takes information from all of the people around him, and then listens to those positions and then he makes the final decision,” Lewandowski said. 

“What you have to have inside the building are people who are on the president’s agenda. Whether that means this president is implementing steel and aluminum tariffs, if you’re not on that agenda, you might not want to be in the building,” he said.

“He is bringing people in who are on his team to make sure that his agenda is moving forward,” he added.

Trump last week named former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton to replace McMaster. The pick drew criticism from Democrats, who expressed concerns over Bolton’s past pro-war views.

The president has also named Larry Kudlow as Cohn’s replacement atop the National Economic Council, and named CIA Director Mike Pompeo as his choice for secretary of State.
