Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson on Wednesday cooked up a morbid metaphor to describe what ultimately happens to everyone who does Donald Trumps bidding. I almost relate it to bodies around him, Hutchinson, who served as an aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, told CNNs Kaitlan Collins.
Trump takes out everybody who is loyal to him because its all about his personal gain and what he can gain from those people, she explained. The former president and presumptive GOP nominee is inherently about himself. Thats why America is in the position that it is today, because he did not want to give up the presidency, and hes now running again, Hutchinson added.
The comment came during a discussion about an Arizona grand jurys indictment of Meadows, former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and 16 others over their alleged fake electors scheme to overturn the 2020 election result. Collins recalled former Trump Attorney General Bill Barrs similar conclusion from last year when he said Trump leaves in his wake, ruined lives [
] all this carnage, in his wake. Barr, however, has since said hell vote for Trump if hes the GOP candidate.
Hutchinson, who testified before the House Jan. 6 committee and has said she wont vote for Trump in the 2024 election, described Meadows latest indictment as really sad.

(33,207 posts)1. Nobody tells Trump what to do.
2. Everything Trump touches turns to shit.
3. The more of an in someone thinks they have with Trump, the sooner it is that they see the underside of a bus. This is particularly true of his lawyers representing him.
This comes from his various paranoias. That someone is prettier, smarter, more competent, or popular than he is. Also, that they are only trying to get close to take his stuff. Theres no way out of that labyrinth for anyone. All paths lead under a people mover.

(7,859 posts)within a week of taking their jobs they knew Trump was a lying egomaniacal revenge-fueled conman...and yet they stayed on...obviously they must have liked the racist bilge..Muslim ban, the wall, separating families, babies in cages, shit-hole countries, referencing Charlottesville torch carrying neo-Nazis as "good people"...or maybe they thought insulting our closest allies, dissing NATO, ignoring American intelligence in favor of Putin's say-so, entertaining Russian diplomats with top secret information, romancing despots, denigrating fallen soldiers/trashing Gold Star families, nepotism on a grand scale, taking foreign bribes via Trump Hotels, teargassing BLM peaceful protestors, weaponizing the DOJ to punish perceived enemies, surrounding himself with corrupt "acting" cabinet heads, downplaying a global pandemic/disappearing 300,000 covid deaths was ok, too...because I don't remember, prior to January 6, Cassidy Hutchinson or any advisor, assistant, secretary, or aide resigning unless fired (with the exception of Miles Taylor)
