Everyone's offering opinions as to why Trump's personal assistant, Madeleine Westerhout, was fired so abruptly -- downright venomously. Politico:Madeleine Westerhout, who left her White House job suddenly on Thursday as President Trump’s personal assistant, was fired after bragging to reporters that she had a better relationship with Trump than his own daughters, Ivanka and Tiffany Trump, and that the president did not like being in pictures with Tiffany because he perceived her as overweight.
The critical comments happened at an off-the-record dinner, according to two people familiar with the matter, that Westerhout and deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley held earlier this month with reporters who were covering Trump’s vacation at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.This is about Tiffany? Yeesh. She's the one Trump people like.
Westerhout also jokingly told the journalists that Trump couldn’t pick Tiffany out of a crowd, said one of the people. “She had a couple drinks and in an uncharacteristically unguarded moment, she opened up to the reporters,” the person said.
My guess is that this dismissal has been brewing for a while, and that the "Tiffany thing" was not so much a reason as an excuse. Josh Marshall has the most pointed take on the situation:
Here’s a paragraph from the Times piece yesterday breaking this story.Is it really? Time to acknowledge a fact that "woke" writers prefer not to mention: Madeleine Westerhout is very attractive. She probably got the gig for that reason. He openly referred to her as "My beautiful beauty."
Ms. Westerhout, a former Republican National Committee aide who also worked for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, reportedly cried on election night because she was upset over Mr. Trump’s victory. As such, the president at first viewed her warily, as a late convert to his cause who could not be trusted.In the Trump world and with the kind of access journalism it spawns, I never know quite what to believe, quite what to take at face value. But if this is more or less accurate it’s just astounding.
In November, Westerhout not only wasn’t a Trump loyalist she was apparently driven to tears when she learned he’d be President. She’d worked for the RNC and the Romney campaign. So she’s a professional Republican. But she holds Trump in such contempt that she still was driven to tears when he, the Republican nominee, won the presidency over Hillary Clinton?
Trump “viewed her warily”?
Well, I’d say Trump had pretty good reason. I’d view her pretty warily if I were Trump too. It’s flabbergasting that she ever got such a position.
When I first saw the photo above, I immediately flashed on Hitch and Tippi. I believe that Trump saw this woman and reacted the way he has always reacted to beauty: I want that.
Over time, Westerhouse no doubt made her position very clear: What you want and what you're getting are two different things. This is the sort of conversation that men and women often have very indirectly. Trump may never have made an explicit move, and Westerhout may never have had to make an explicit counter-move. Even for someone as thickheaded and Id-diven as Der Donald, body language and demeanor can send the message very effectively: Sorry. Not you. Not a chance.
When an egomaniac is rejected, resentment starts to boil.
To repeat: I think that the "Tiffany thing" was not so much a reason as an excuse.
Russia tweets. Let's turn to a more important topic. Just how thoroughly has Russia commandeered Twitter? This project has come up with some frightening numbers.
Compiled and published by Professors Darren Linvill and Patrick Warren with FiveThirtyEight, these tweets are all from the Internet Research Agency – the so-called troll factory run by the Russian government to shape American politics. Search for tweets, hashtags, or dates that interest you, and see first-hand evidence of a Russian foreign influence operation.This is why I became so frustrated while listening to this chat between Ezra Klein and writer Jia Tolentino. After many displays of wit and erudition, Tolentino finally arrives at her basic point: People using social media should simply be nicer to each other.
The data they've released contains nearly 3 million tweets, posted by thousands of different accounts.
That's like asking the Terminator to be nicer. It's a machine. You can't reason with it. You can't debate it. You can't lower your voice and expect the machine to do likewise. And even when you are not interacting with a machine, machinery controls the overall temperature of that environment.
The only sane course of action is to leave that environment.
