Trump's personal assistant abruptly fired, escorted out of the White House by security

"SNIP..........

Another Donald Trump confidante has been shown the door. This time it is Trump’s “body man,” John McEntee. The former Fox News production assistant had been with Trump since 2015. From the Wall Street Journal:

President Donald Trump’s personal assistant, John McEntee, was escorted out of the White House on Monday, two senior administration officials said. The cause of the firing was an unspecified security issue, said a third White House official with knowledge of the situation.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders declined to comment saying, “We don’t comment on personnel issues.” Mr. McEntee didn’t return a call seeking comment.


McEntee’s removal was so abrupt, he was escorted out of the White House and was not even given an opportunity to get his jacket or any of his belongings. What was in McEntee’s background that warranted such immediate removal? The White House won’t say, but whatever security clearance obstacle McEntee had was severe enough to escort him out of the building by security, but not enough to keep him off Trump’s campaign staff, which announced this morning that McEntee will be a senior campaign advisor.

It is clear that Trump goes looking for people of that character.

Usually you get escorted like this when you've done something IN the White House. I wonder if he was using his computer as part of his problems?

Gotta keep that paycheck going to someone who may know something bad about his boss.

I can't believe these morons are still living/working in our house, it's getting worse by the day for them and they just keep on screwing us over.

Soon please, soon.......
