Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump's personal assistant fired after comments about Ivanka, Tiffany [View all]
Madeleine Westerhout, who left her White House job suddenly on Thursday as President Trumps personal assistant, was fired after bragging to reporters that she had a better relationship with Trump than his own daughters, Ivanka and Tiffany Trump, and that the president did not like being in pictures with Tiffany because he perceived her as overweight.
Given Westerhouts sensitive role as a confidante to the president, the few details the White House shared about her abrupt firing had Washingtons political-media class in a quiet frenzy on Thursday night and Friday.
The critical comments happened at an off-the-record dinner, according to two people familiar with the matter, that Westerhout and deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley held earlier this month with reporters who were covering Trumps vacation at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Westerhout also jokingly told the journalists that Trump couldnt pick Tiffany out of a crowd, said one of the people. She had a couple drinks and in an uncharacteristically unguarded moment, she opened up to the reporters, the person said.

Have you ever seen him interacting with his grandchildren?--I mean interacting, not just being in

That was a good one. I wonder how much of that "street money" made it out of the pockets
