'The Trump Stink': White House officials panicked no one will hire them if the president crashes

At one time, veterans of White House administrations were sought after for prestigious positions at universities, think tanks, etc. That has not been the case for many folks who left the Trump administration either by their own will, or who were forcibly removed by Federal agents. One person who lucked out was Trump's former chief of staff, Reince Priebus. He joined the Navy.

I can't even imagine Fox hiring her since she is so known for just making shit up.

Then again......Hannity, Calson, Dobbs...............maybe they do have a place for her there.

I expect that Fox will be the employer of choice for many minions in the upper ranks of the administration.

For the rest, it's Home Depot.

they would have thought of that before accepting a job in Trump's White House.

But then, if they were smart, they would never have applied for a job in Trump's White House. To say nothing of having been hired...

In taking a job with the Trump administration, they show complete lack of morals and common sense. Who in their right mind would want to hire anyone involved in that kind of stupidity and corruption. Bed. Made. Lie.

Unless they chose to stand up and defy tRUMP to stop his dysfunctional destruction to the United States when the country needed them to, then they need to be shamed across the country and never allowed in a position that gets anywhere close to government. They knew going in and should have known before accepting any position, tRUMP is a loser, failure, and liar that would never honor his oath.
