Trump Reportedly ‘Blindsided’ By Melania Calling For Aide’s Ouster, Complained He Looked Like a ‘Bossed Around Husband’

by Joe DePaolo | Nov 14th, 2018, 4:42 pm

President Donald Trump was caught totally off-guard by First Lady Melania Trump‘s stunning public opposition to deputy National Security Advisor Mira Ricardel.

According to reporting from CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, the president complained that the whole episode made him look like he was taking orders from his wife.

“Trump was said to be blindsided by the First Lady’s statement Tuesday,” Collins said. “Feeling backed into a corner and complaining he looks like a bossed around husband.”

Ricardel was back at work on Wednesday. National Security Advisor John Bolton, according to CNN, was trying to save his chief deputy’s job — even as he’s on a trip to Singapore.

about this administration, they will end up writing a comedy, there cannot be any serious script from it, its a comedy all around.

The Muller movie will be something else.

She's embarrassed him. The cardinal sin of Trumpland: Never make the mushroom look small.

If he gives in to her, it might make him look like a husband who cares how she feels. What would people think??!!

She goes rogue every now and then, making him look bad, which Pootie would not want.

She'd divorce that rat-faced fuck if she weren't so bloodless and greedy herself.

I suspect divorce getting closer to a reality for trump, and he probably knows it now. She acts like she's fed up and had enough of his BS and lying, and just about done with him, and maybe why she did this in this way. Everyone hates him now, even his own family. Expect some to turn on him , if they haven't already knowing he'd sell them out to save himself first. Its all closing in on him, and he knows it. He's heading for a complete breakdown.
