Trump's New Digital Media Strategist Leaves After 2 Days On the Job

He claims he wasn't fired but that all of the work that needed to be done is already done, in just about 48 hours...right.

Donald Trump’s most recent digital hire appears to have been a short-lived one.

Vincent Harris, an Austin-based Republican digital strategist, issued a series of posts Thursday on Twitter explaining that he and his firm had “completed our various creative projects” for the presumptive Republican nominee. His social media posts followed a report in

Fast Company that he had been fired for leaking the news of his own hiring.

“We were not fired,” Harris countered on Twitter.

“While out of pocket & on vacation w my wife, someone leaked our involvement w/ Trump. The leak did not come from me or us,” Harris wrote. “Not sure where leak came from but lots of people on campaign, from large tech companies, & RNC knew we were doing work for Trump's agency.”

POLITICO first reported on Tuesday that Harris and his firm Harris Media had been hired to help Trump’s digital operation in an undefined role, working with Trump’s digital director, Brad Parscale, whose firm is located nearby in San Antonio, Texas.

...before Trump unleashes his master digital media strategy. Seriously, who are these people trying to fool? Either their digital media plan is to launch a website that hosts a single gif or this guy quit ran like hell but signed a non-disclosure agreement before he knew what he signed up for. Assuming he was working a standard day, he probably did less than 12 hours worth of work this week. I had to reinstall windows on my computer this week and it took more than 12 hours just to download and install all of the updates. This campaign is so full of bullshit, I'll be surprised if they don't convert it into a fertilizer company after November 8th.

Microsoft will ruin your life and try to destroy your company and put everyone out of work if they decide to.
