Trump pick backs out of White House job after affair allegations

[mobeau69]

Source: Politico

Donald Trump’s newly tapped White House communications director, Jason Miller, backed out of the job following claims that he had an affair with another transition official, according to three sources close to the Trump transition.

Two days after his appointment as communications director was announced, Miller told POLITICO on Christmas Eve that he was stepping down because the White House job would be too demanding at a time when he needed to devote attention to his family. He and his wife are expecting their second child next month.

1. I'm shocked...

...this behavior is considered unacceptable in Trump's circle? His behavior is worse!

[True_Blue]

33. Maybe Miller's wife put her foot down

It's me or Delgado.

[tblue37]

37. Maybe he got an offer to serve as Chuck Todd's body double:

2. Oops! But, but, but, "We're the party of family values!"

Where Trump and Cump is concerned, not so much.

[TeamPooka]

3. If he only had admitted he grabbed women by the pussy he'd still have a job. nt

[madaboutharry]

4. Let me get this right...

People on team Trump knew of their relationship, Delgado herself told people, and now she is calling him a "baby-daddy" and "The John Edwards of 2016"

He must have dumped her.

No fury like that of a woman scorned.

I don't feel sorry for her. She is a terrible person to begin with.

[Bayard]

30. Speaking of John Edwards

Whatever happened to that guy?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

31. Bankrupt and homeless from hair stylist debts.

Kidding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Edwards#Return_to_law_practice
Edwards has returned to law after his political career ended. Together with attorneys David Kirby and William Bystrynski, he founded the law firm Edwards Kirby in Raleigh; his daughter Cate is the managing attorney of the San Diego office of the firm. Vidant Health and Pitt County, North Carolina, was the venue for Edward's 2014 return to the malpractice arena.

5. Multiple wives, multiple affairs......who cares

these are drumpf family values.

[red dog 1]

6. K&R

Good!

[Plucketeer]

7. Please! Let's be fair here.

When you're of an ilk that cares SO DEARLY about family values - why not have more than just one family?

[mobeau69]

13. And the sweet little girl wasn't using contraceptives.

The pro-birth Soviet Republicans will like that part.

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. More time with which family? Bwahahaha.

Another good Trump soldier bites the dust.

[montana_hazeleyes]

12. More time with family.

That is always the tipoff that some scandal is coming out! lol

[mobeau69]

16. Donalddickarnold's bringing in the best people. The best.

I think maybe he's using the same people that McCain hired for vetting. LMAO

The shitshow continues...

[mobeau69]

9. Christmas for baby-daddy must have sucked.

LMAO

And what's AJ so pissed at him about? She knew he was married. This whole story is getting curiouser and curiouser. Oh well, from the White House to Domestic Relations Court for that Cruz asswipe.

10. Shouldn't he get a promotion? nt

Trump admitted he tried to sleep with a married woman to Billy Bush on that bus.

[tblue37]

35. Where does one catch that bus to Billy Bush? nt

39. I changed it

I was very tired when I typed the original post.

40. Oh, darn. I liked it the way it was. nt

14. Remember him by his worst deed:

He was the campaign manager who got Mark Sanford elected to the House after he left the SC governor's office in disgrace and without his family because of his famous "hiking the Appalachian Trail" affair.
Guess Jason didn't learn anything from that.

15. Frankly this could finally be

Newts big opening....................

How do these Gopers, unsavory as they are, get wives AND mistresses. It always boggles my mind. Just saying.

[JI7]

22. Adultery is certainly not a disqualifier for GOP. More like bragging rights.

24. In DC radio station WTOP's "coverage" of this story this morning,

they mentioned only what's in the second paragraph. They did not say anything about an affair.

[mainer]

25. I thought affairs were a qualification in Trump's circle

And something to be proud of.

[HoneyBadger]

26. Never heard of AJ Delgado

Googled her. Bet she runs for Vice President. Woman, Harvard law, animal rights, Cuban, swing state, working class, political operative, young, she literally checks every single box that the Republicans need.

[PearliePoo2]

27. I just paid a visit to Jason Miller's twitter to have a little look...Holy crap! lol

He's getting his ass brutally kicked into next week! Seriously, his trashing is SO bad, if I were him, I'd have deleted that account by yesterday! hahahahaha!

[gagarux]

28. Wheels of Poetic Justice Turn Slowly

Wonder if Ms. Delgado feels that she is justified in making an accusation that could so easily ruin lives?

Her NR article from a few years ago:

29. too funny

to think anyone in Trump's administration would be held to ANY standard of decency.

[zippythepinhead]

32. they don't

unless you get caught.

[yurbud]

38. given Trump's own baggage, why would this matter?

Seriously, someone would have to be a serial killer to reflect poorly on this boss.
