2. Exactly.

3. I was just about to post this same tweet! Trump has rehired Hicks this morning and now

McEntee, his former 29 year old bodyguard who was fired by Kelly because of security clearance issues and gambling issues.

Crazy.

7. Per other tweets I've read, Trump is in full-purge-mode now

...asking immediate staff (and outside allies) who should stay and who should go *all over* the Executive branch (not just the WH).

Expect another wild ride today & tomorrow!

4. I wonder what a 'body man' is . . . does this guy have to wipe Dump's large orange ass for him?

8. ...hides them

9. The position is (I think) a personal assistant

who acts as the President's right-hand man in getting informal, non-state meetings set up, keeps track of his appointments, whispers in his ear when it's time to leave, etc.

But I can't say with certainty-- I'm just going off an old West Wing episode here. God only knows what trump's personal ass. does.

5. They're bringing back all the loyal lackeys.

His world is shrinking.

6. According to his wiki, he's got quite the political resume:

After being redshirted his first year at the University of Connecticut, McEntee saw limited playing time in his first two full seasons of play. In 2011, he won the team's starting job and played all 12 games in 2011. As the team's quarterback, McEntee passed for over 150 yards in seven games, passed for over 200 in four games, and reached a season and career-high of 300 yards vs. Western Michigan, where he also had a career high of four touchdown passes and 22 completions vs. Western Michigan University.[8] His 335 pass attempts was eighth in school single-season history and his 172 completions was tenth. In 2011, he received the team's Joseph M. Giannelli Unsung Hero Award.

In 2011, McEntee starred in a viral YouTube video where he threw increasingly challenging trick shots with his football. This video was later featured on CNN.[9] Within 48 hours of posting, the video had generated nearly 7 million views and was featured on the homepage of Yahoo

Not to be outdone by his cousin:

McEntee's cousin, Zac McEntee, played tennis at the University of Connecticut,[18] and is the current deputy chief of staff[19] for Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.[11]
