Two women who were featured in a video of a naturalization ceremony shown at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night said they did not know it would be aired at the political event.
Sudha Narayanan and Neimat Awadelseid told The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that they didn't mind being featured but said they were not aware the video would be aired at the convention. They also told the newspaper they didn't know until minutes before the ceremony, which was held at the White House, that President Trump would attend.
Awadelseid, a Sudanese immigrant and substitute teacher, told the Journal she remembers signing a media release form but does not remember being told about the GOP convention.
She said the ceremony was the culmination of many years of hard work and achieving her dream of sending her children to American universities. She told the newspaper that was her focus and said she is "not a political person."

This is who he is. Everything is about what he gets out of it.

You just sign the Non Disclosure Agreement, in case he does something stupid or highly inappropriate, but you are sworn to secrecy to shield him from suffering any consequences.
Everything is done to make him look good, feel better, become more popular, you are just along for the ride. When he gets bored he dumps ya, and moves on to his next source of personal entertainments and exploitations.
