Donald Trump 'humiliated' after new chief of staff pick turns him down

Source: Metro

Donald Trump was ‘humiliated’ after his first choice for White House chief of staff, Nick Ayers, reportedly turned turned him down.

Ayers, 36, the chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence and Trump’s first choice to replace John Kelly, turned down the position to return to Georgia with his family, a senior official claimed.

Trump has now been forced to restart the search process with uncertainty looming as he begins the 2020 campaign with pressure from the FBI’s Russia Investigation.

He must also contend with Democrats who will take over the House next moth and who have promised tougher oversight – and may even pursue impeachment.

IE: being willing to drop his drawers and bend over for a spanking by a porn star with a magazine with him and his kids on the cover (and was diggin' it); and to the spanker publicly stating that he's 2-minute toadie head. Now that's embarrassing!!

I think he is not phased at all at the "pee-pee" tape or anything else of a sexual nature.

As a matter of fact, he will try to turn it around to show his "prowess".

The ONLY THING Doturd is embarrassed by is "losing". Or being shown up as an IMBECILE.

Being shown as an incompetent loser. (which he CERTAINLY is....)

All he wants is someone to kiss his orange ass all day long. Why not just get a random passel of the most sycophantic deplorables, and let them draw lots for the job.

His whole shtick on the Apprentice was to humiliate people on national television. Ms. Daniels had to spank him with a rolled-up Forbes magazine. The man has a humiliation fetish. Jesus, what happened in his home life and his relationship with his father that it's manifested like this? And his poor mother, we hear almost nothing about her. How awful were things for her?

Honest BDSM participants are actually quite well-adjusted and this stuff doesn't impact their public lives. The kink is kept private and intimate, not splashed (giggity) all over for the world to see. I have to wonder, if young Trump had seen a proper madame to manage and explore his kinks, would have he ever turned into such a shithead? He gets off on being cruel to unwilling recipients, a *huge* no-no in the BDSM community. In private the kink is to control and be controlled by others. In public, it translates into knowing how to control yourself. Something Trump seemingly has no capacity to do. I think we're all dying to know how he managed at GHWB's funeral, shitting out tweets notwithstanding. I like to imagine he was warned to shut his yap on this of all days or else something something Dick Cheney something something shotgun something something President Pelosi.

the F'n MORON once again tweeted "he's fired". I'm betting this drove Ayers over the edge and he walked.

Think about it. Ayers is 36 years old. His career would be made for life if he took what ordinarily is a dream job. The fact that he refused is indeed a blow to Trump's pride, and that's one think he (Trump) can't stand.

She made pretty quick work of the national security advisor who displeased her.

Apparently she's the only one with the balls to stand up to her husband.

and this is just the beginning.

tRump has humiliated America at every turn with his lies and insults, and with his actions on the international stage.
