so they fired him on Inauguration Day, on the way out the door, as staff was trying to make the switch between administrations. That’s why the Bidens were left standing at the door, and had to open it themselves.

So firing him with three weeks before getaway day could have popped the lid off of all sorts of lurid tales of what went on in Casablanca Trump. But canning him five hours before he was supposed to open the door made sure the mean, petty little vindictive retaliation would put just the right note on the termination of the Trumps' relationship to their stooge.

Trump had fired the previous Chief Usher, Angella Reid, an Obama appointee, when he moved in.

They erased texts and melted phones. They're proven they can't be trusted.
