Sorry guys - she was a senate confirmed political appointee who served at the pleasure of the president (ewwww...that phrase just sounds so ugly in the context of AccessHollywood - but I digress).

He could have just as easily said we're done here. Instead, he kept her - in effect re-enlisting her to Team Trump, even if only for days.

As someone said elsewhere, Spicy is going to need a much bigger shovel (backhoe maybe ?) to dig out of this one.
