'So petty': Donald and Melania Trump fired chief usher before leaving White House to spite Bidens

[LetMyPeopleVote]

TFG and his porn star spouse are petty and nasty people

President Joe Biden was blamed for firing the White House chief usher on his first day on the job, but his predecessor actually did the deed -- apparently to spite the incoming first family.

Donald and Melania Trump sent White House ushers home early on Inauguration Day in one of their last acts in a tense presidential transition, a well-placed official not associated with the Biden team told the National Journal.

"The Trumps sent the butlers home when they left so there would be no one to help the Bidens when they arrived," the official said. "So petty.".....

"It's a big protocol breach for the president to ever stand in front of a closed door at the White House," said a veteran White House social expert. "That may be why there was nobody to open the doors to the Bidens. You couldn't expect the Biden staff to know to do that. Doors are opened and closed by ushers. There are rules about all these things and everyone has their job."

1. I remember Joe and Jill were just standing in front of the WH door waiting to be greeted.

Finally Joe just opens the door himself.

[Baitball Blogger]

2. I'm so going to enjoy Trump's downfall.

I remember Biden having to wait outside of the White House doors.

81. Schadenfreude is a look I endeavor to avoid at all cost...

...but in this case, fack that, and fack this whole facking family. Even Baron. Fack his lanky-ass beanpole body and fack his stupid-ass wanna-be stoned surfer face. I know he hasn't done anything wrong, but being the demon spawn of Cheeto-faced thunder cunt and tramp stamp come to life, he'll do something to deserve this post, so I just want to get it out of the way now.

3. Petty little piss-ants, both of 'em.

Donny and Mellie belong together. Question is - who’s more vain? Who spends more time surgically attached to their mirror?

[Retrograde]

25. I think Mel

I think she spends more time keeping herself up to spec (whatever that is) since her looks are the only thing she has to trade on. Sketchy English (not casting blame - none of my grandparents spoke English as their first language and they all had heavy life-long accents), any marketable skills she has are past their prime, and per her ex-friend Winston Wolkoff spends most of her time looking at fashion mags and trying to keep a youthful body lest Donnie dump her. IMHO, she's the worse of the two because she chose the lifestyle rather than being born to it.

47. I can't wait for the day that the House of Stasi cuts off her credit and she has to wear the tacky

And derivative House of Ivanka. Hope U Haul also cuts her credit so she can’t get those extra heavy hand trucks to move her “kidneys” around.

Melania claimed to speak six languages. -

Not quite!

[orleans]

60. or trump fired him/them for another reason...

Yes, according to Trump’s former press secretary Stephanie Grisham, Trump held top secret closed-door meetings at the Executive Residence of the White House just prior to the Jan. 6 insurrection, and attendees were not officially recorded to keep it off the books.

Furthermore, the attendees in the meetings were brought into the Executive Residence, where the president lives, by the White House chief usher, a bespectacled, unassuming fellow by the name of Timothy Harleth.

“[It] could mean that Timothy Harleth would be subpoenaed by the committee, which would be a big deal for a guy whose only job at the White House seemed to be, based on what comes up on Google Images when you search his name, picking out the White House Christmas tree,” Kimmel quipped.

[niyad]

63. Sorry. If I read correctly earlier, timmy was a flunky from the t**** org.

[orleans]

67. i don't get your point. nt

[niyad]

70. Sorry. I should have been more clear. I was referring to the characterization

of timmy as unassuming, implying an almost cypher. Cannot quite picture a t**** org exec that way.

[orleans]

83. it's probably best trump fired him early in the day. if he was the one tasked to open the door for

biden he probably would have stuck a foot out to trip him

[niyad]

84. Gruesome thought. But no doubt correct.

[Blue Owl]

4. Fuck tRump, fuck Malaria, and every goddamned thing they represent

[calimary]

71. Malaria! I like that one! And Balonia, too. And I know there are more than that.

And Malevola, and Maligna, and Melanoma, also. Any way you slice it, her name is Totally Off-putting.

[Wicked Blue]

5. It would be nice if those ushers could usher him into his cell nt

[Blue Owl]

94. Wouldn't it though...

What would really be great is if tRump could be haunted by all those he's wronged... the list would go on and on and on...

[soldierant]

101. Assuming I were on that list,

frankly, I wouldn't want to be haunting him. I'd want to be somewhere nice, far from him, with him erased from my memory. But, of course, if anyone wants to haunt him, they are welcome to do so.

[Chainfire]

6. The Trumps are living proof that money can not by culture.

Poor or rich, Trump will always be trashy.

[Dr. Shepper]

7. They are such trash

No amount of money could ever give them class.

[twodogsbarking]

8. The King and Queen of Low.

[RockRaven]

9. Not only is it petty, small, trashy, it is also pathetic.

You're so butthurt that you want to lash out, but this is what you've got? Weak.

11. I remember That.. Fucking LOSERS!

Rt TY!

[malaise]

12. How did these two low-life uncouth

scumbags ever get near the WH?
There is no low below the Slobfather

[L. Coyote]

26. We all know how.

Reality Winner: I just kept thinking, "My God, somebody needs to step forward and put this right. Somebody."

The secret report said, in 2016, the Russian military "executed cyber espionage" against "122… local government organizations" "targeting officials involved in the management of voter registration systems." It was top secret, in part, because it revealed what the U.S. knew about Russian tactics. Winner told us she was exposing a White House cover up. ..... 60 minutes

[Duppers]

48. Indeed! Thank You for posting this.

What a raw deal Miss Winner got.

[malaise]

54. On the ball as always

Which is why he assumed he’d pull it off again.
I still can’t fathom why M$Greedia and indeed Democratic Party leaders didn’t call him out when he said “under the normal rules I’ll be out in 2024…”

[llmart]

99. +1000

We can never forget this fact. I have believed all along, from the day it was announced that he "won", that the Russians got him the "win". I have also maintained that Pooty Poot was scared shitless that if Hillary became President, he wouldn't be able to pull as much shit as he could with milquetoast Donnie.

[pandr32]

36. That's what I keep thinking

...then I realize it's gone even lower than I thought. Bottomless depravity.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

37. I ask myself that question on a daily basis.

I've posted before that Trump will be a troublemaker and thorn in America's side until his dying day.

But he is showing that he is a threat to the world as a whole if he gets back in the White House.

He is more than just petty, vain and spiteful. He is a truly cruel, evil, horrible person.

[niyad]

38. Respectvully disagree. Every single one of the voters, supporters and enablers

is lower.

[malaise]

56. Sadly you do have a point

[bullwinkle428]

51. Ultimate role-models to a disgusting yet significant chunk of the U.S. population.

[malaise]

57. I still can't process this

but you’re right

[ShazzieB]

61. I've given up trying to process it!

Totally given up. It makes no sense, but it is what it is.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. They couldn't help themselves. . . . nt

[pwb]

40. Or did they do it just because they can?

?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

41. Nope. That they can get away with stuff is not the reason why they did it. They did it for spite. nt

[pwb]

44. Alrighty then.

You makes so much more sense. Pay attention posters, all the answers are here.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

46. Nah, not me. I learn more than I post, including from your posts at times. . . .nt

[Grasswire2]

14. that must be Fake Melania above.

She's holding his hand.

[spike jones]

42. Notice that she is wearing gloves. n/t

[albacore]

50. ...and rubber gloves under those. Can't be too careful. He DID, after all, raw-dog a porn star. nt

[llmart]

100. Yes, and what is that thing she has on?

It looks like one of those black contractor's garbage bags I have out in my garage.

[Texaswitchy]

104. That one is a SS agent that kind of looks like her.

The SS agent is shorter.

This is the fake one.

[FakeNoose]

102. Good eye! Fake Melania is usually the one wearing sunglasses

And yes, whenever she holds his hand, it's fake Melania.

[liberalla]

15. I remember hearing about this a while back. Why weren't hired back?

They should have been.

[GoCubsGo]

23. All of them except the head usher were back on the job the next day.

According to the story in the link, this guy was considered a Trump loyalist, so no point in re-hiring him.

[DENVERPOPS]

53. I understand that many

of Trump's Secret Service detail were Trump Humpers. And also think of the number of Capitol Police and D.C Police and Guard that were proven to be TrumpHumpers.........Scary shit..............I can only imagine that most of the SS on Trump's detail down in Florida are now totally loyal agents to him and his fucked up shit.......

[SharonClark]

24. The article says it all.

[cab67]

16. Yet another reason

TFG’s portrait should never be displayed at the White House or the National Portrait Gallery.

His image would besmirch any wall holding it.

[mnhtnbb]

27. His portrait belongs above the urinals in the Men's Room.

[PJMcK]

31. In the urinal off the Oval Office (n/t)

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

45. It would be great if

Trump's nasty, ugly face would adorn the screens in the WH urinals.

[InstantGratification]

32. It should be

IN the urinal. That should serve as target practice until he kicks it and we can piss on his grave.

[ShazzieB]

66. Like this?

[calimary]

72. Yes! Like that!

And I DO like that!

[aggiesal]

80. If those stories out of Russia are accurate ...

he should be used to this!

[davepdx]

34. I've always thought that it should be hung behind the White House dumpsters.

[jmowreader]

78. I have no problem displaying his portrait...

…just so long as it’s based on the photo of him walking up the stairs to Air Force One with Trump paper stuck to his shoe.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

86. Here is a good place for this portrait

17. They are both despicable animals.

The World will be a better place when they eventually transition to Hell.

[niyad]

43. Please do not insult animals. They have standards.

[Duppers]

52. Indeed!

[brer cat]

18. What petty little assholes.

Were they hired back?

[3auld6phart]

33. For sure

Lower than snail slime. The drumfh family just bloody detestable
garbage. Are White House domestics not permanent staff.?
Protected by the Civil Service?

[MissMillie]

19. What's important is that TFG was fired (n/t)

.

[elleng]

20. DAMN! Don't we all remember watching and waiting for the doors to open?

[Totally Tunsie]

21. Goodness...why are we revisiting this petty act a year later?

[SharonClark]

28. Good point.

Not the first time DU has regurgitated an old story. Only the poster knows why it was posted over a year later.

[Retrograde]

29. So we don't forget - and so we can remind others of how petty

shallow, and vindictive they are. Now that Donnie's in hot water again, and Mel's being looked at for her dubious charity, they and their supports will soon be crying "The Press is Unfair!!!!!". They need to constantly be reminded of what their idols really are: spoiled, selfish children.

[calimary]

73. EXACTLY. It's critically important that we DO NOT forget.

He's counting on everyone forgetting, since he evidently does intend to run again.

[maxsolomon]

30. Because this is part of the avalanche of shit that's coming down on him

Until he announces that he's not running in '24. Endless negative stories that remind the voters what a shit Prezdint he was.

Interesting this article links Melanoma; I doubt it was her idea.

[AZLD4Candidate]

22. Does this barrel have no bottom?

[Botany]

39. No

TFG ripped out Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden and replaced it with shit because he knew
he was going to lose and is a petty little asshole.

Same thing w/the b. ball court that Barack Obama used to play on in Dec. of 2020 with a new
tennis court and building even though nobody was going to play on it for the rest of the time
TFG was in the White House.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

[No Vested Interest]

49. Oohhhhhh - I like your descriptive language.....

[Mister Ed]

55. Compare that with the graciousness of the Obama's greeting the Trump's on inauguration day.

Of course, Donld, ever the gentleman, left his wife behind at the car and bounded up the steps without her.

[Poiuyt]

79. Remember the time Trump forgot that Melania was standing right next to him?

[TreasonousBastard]

87. Or was that Robo-Melania?

[BigmanPigman]

59. I just read the Wash Post book review of his new book...

and the whole book is an example his spite and pettiness.

"Images are the perfect lexicon for Trump to articulate a fantastical revision of his four chaotic years in office. Freed from the complexities of language or the context of history, the former president spins a dreamscape of adulation and triumph. A shot of his inauguration crowd spread out across the Mall doesn’t have to contend with his administration’s first official alternative fact.

In short, this is a memoir spun from the thin gruel of musty propaganda and cherished grudges. Turning these pages is like watching an old man dust his Hummel figurines and whine about the neighbors."

75. Gotta love it when the trumps make themselves look small. (nt)

[George II]

76. Petty is the most obvious word to describe him and the whole family. It's not nice but.....

....I wish nothing but the worst to happen to him.

The great Carnac the Magnificent (Johnny Carson) had some great lines that described what many of us wish happens to him.

[KentuckyWoman]

77. This confused me at first

I thought the White House staff were career employees that worked for the National Park Service. It turns out Trump fired TWO ushers. The career employee he fired when he took office in order to bring in his own guy from Trump Inc. Then he fired that guy.

He uses people up then throws them away.

[Rebl2]

93. Kind of like

important documents?

[Hekate]

82. Were they hired back by Biden?

[Brainfodder]

85. Is it news if we already know it?

DUH!

[Wingus Dingus]

89. Garbage people. Our national shame.

[hippywife]

90. I thought everyone already knew this from Inaugurtion Day news.

[Rebl2]

91. I didn't know

Did President Biden hire him back?

[hippywife]

92. I don't know what they did, but...

I distinctly remember reading that the Oaf of Office had fired all that staff prior to departure so there was no one to greet the incoming President and Mrs. Biden, which is why they were left standing outside the door for an inordinate length of time.

[OMGWTF]

95. Remember when That Fking Guy ignored Melon and the Obamas walked her up to the WH door?

I've come to loathe her as much as TFG, but he goes out of his way to be an azzh0le.

[Peregrine Took]

96. I was just remembering that! Both of the Obama's were so cordial to her, putting

their hands on her back to lead her up the stairs and the IDIOT was just doing his own thing, of course.

97. Low class Trump trash

No one should be surprised

S’ok, Biden don’t need no usher to usher in the new era of adults running the show.
