Trump's personal aide, John McEntee was fired, largely due to a gambling addiction, and I find it kind of funny considering that:

1. Trump's basic mode of operation is gambling, including his run for the presidency

2. Trump is widely associated with gambling casinos

3. McEntee went to the University of Connecticut, which is familiarly pronounced "you con"

I doubt that's why Trump fires him. My guess is Trump got jealous he was going after his gf Ivanka

Basically the same rule drug kingpins have.

Don't do your own s*** if you want to keep being functional!

Kelly insisted he be fired because he could not get an FBI clearance due to his gambling habit.

But though he left the White House, he went to work for the Trump Re-election Campaign the next day, so he's not out of the Trump orbit at all. he's just drawing a paycheck with a different name printed on it.

And likely a much larger paycheck.

Still don't understand why he was hustled out without his jacket.

I can understand that he would need to leave if he couldn't get a security clearance due to his gambling issues. That seems reasonable.

Even if he was taking odds on how long Trump would last, why hustle him out without his personal longings?

What was that about?
