Trump is firing a top national security official for fighting with Melania over plane seats: report

A new report from the Wall Street Journal claims that President Donald Trump is firing a top national security official at least in part because she got into a fight with First Lady Melania Trump over plane seats.

According to WSJ, Trump is planning to oust Mira Ricardel, who currently serves as the top deputy for national security adviser John Bolton.

“The president became involved in that decision at the urging of first lady Melania Trump, whose staff battled with Ms. Ricardel during the first lady’s trip to Africa last month over seating on the plane and requests to use National Security Council resources,” the publication writes. “Ms. Ricadel also repeatedly clashed with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and his Pentagon team over staffing decisions and policy differences.”

But for honest, sincere, tax-paying Americans, it just ain't funny. It's pathetic.

I'm sure the real sin committed here is that Melanie's unhappiness became Donny's headache - it meant he had to actually talk to her and listen (through a translator if necessary) to her complaints.

If you get right down to it - the midterms are done, and Donny is tired of Daddy watching over her cell phones and getting in the way of his special time with the super-dreamy Sean Hannity and all his pals at Fox.

That's not saying much. When I tan I turn a light shade of brown, not like I bathed in orange kool aid.

He knows the best people? Still waiting for just one. Kelly, a bit better than most, looks to be outgoing, as well.

Since that post of her in nothing but skin I have a hard time getting the vision out of my head of him on top of her thrusting away.

But it’s just me I guess...
