Did anyone else just hear Omarosa on MSNBC?

She said when Trump did something nuts, White House aides would text each other and use the code phrase "#TFA" to refer to the 25th amendment. Talk about stirring the pot . . . LOL. Bet Two Scoops is calling for the examination of all phones already.

According to Omarosa, the hashtag #TFA — for the 25th amendment — was frequently used in the White House email and text chains when Trump went off the rails or made “insane” pronouncements.

According to to the former Apprentice star, who was unceremoniously fired by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, not only did senior staffers use the hashtag in text messages, but that it was used by “family members” when he acted incompetently or erratically. She did not clarify whether she was exchanging those texts with her own family or members of Trump’s immediate family.

“It’s embarrassing how much it was used,” she confided, satying the internal texts “happened with family members, with staffers, with people who were in the agencies.”

According to Omarosa, she has over 100 texts saved that show the hashtag being used.

Those people that Trump still trusts?

If he gets wind of this he will surely go over the edge.

it's amazing they are still allowed to use cell phones on the job, and record conversations.

Those phones can be searched for messages and recipients in case of misuse. Remember when President Obama became POTUS and he was told he had to give up his "personal" Blackberry? He hated it but he did because, ... them's the rules! The real reason of course is the tightest security on government phones and networks.

Trump came in and threw all the rulebooks out. Now look at the chaos he has to live with day in, and day out.
