Overheard in D.C.: Soccer

Word to the wise: maybe choose a more private place for an interview.
Daytime in a cafe:
Two people are sitting at a table, seemingly in a job interview.
The interviewee is speaking very loudly about how he oversaw gifts to President Trump. He tells the interviewer that he was previously deputy chief of staff, and tells the barista he worked at the White House.
Interviewer says he is looking for a marketing person. Interviewee says he just finished choosing floor designs for the executive residence, which he says has nothing to do with his job.
Interviewee: “You just do whatever you want to.”
Later, after saying he works seven days a week and that he wants to get back to what he’s good at:
Interviewee: “How many times can you work on floor renovations or give the president a budget report?”

Where’s my invite
On a bench near the Georgetown waterfront:
“When Robert asks if I want to eat at the club tonight, he means go for samples at Sam’s Club.”
