Donald Trump’s personal assistant escorted from the White House in the cold without his jacket

President Donald Trump’s personal assistant John McEntee was escorted out of White House Monday but it’s unclear why.

According to the Wall Street Journal, two administration officials confirmed McEntee was canned, however, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders refused to comment.


“We don’t comment on personnel issues,” she said.

McEntee was one of the longest-serving aides to Trump and his position dates back to the early days of the campaign. Prior to that, it was mostly the president’s family that surrounded him, along with Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino and Hope Hicks.

He wasn’t well known in public but was constantly beside Trump for the last three years. His responsibilities consisted of having markers for Trump to sign autographs, delivering messages to the residence and ensuring the clocks in the White House residence were adjusted for daylight-savings.

“It’s not going to be great for morale,” an official said.

Officials also said he was escorted to the building even without his jacket. He indicated to his colleagues it may have been about his background check.

According to Paris Dennard, a Republican operative and close ally to Trump, McEntee will now rejoin the campaign team along with Katrina Pierson.

“It was announced today by the Trump Campaign that John McEntee will re-join the team and serve as the new Senior Advisor for campaign operations based in D.C.” he tweeted.

Quoting Raw Story because the Wall Street Journal has a pay wall.

Longtime Trump aide fired over security clearance issue

(CNN)President Donald Trump's longtime personal aide John McEntee was fired and escorted from the White House on Monday, three sources with knowledge of the matter told CNN.

Two sources said McEntee was pushed out because of issues with his security clearance, making him the latest aide to be forced out because of difficulties obtaining a permanent security clearance.
The Wall Street Journal first reported his exit.
Minutes later, the Trump campaign announced McEntee would be joining the reelection effort as a senior adviser for campaign operations.

TLDR: another best person gone, but will remain connected to Trump in the nearest possible capacity. WTF happened? Was a security check still pending? He did something to violate security? Who the fuck knows! Trump, a world-famous top mind, is two steps ahead of everyone else.
 
Probably another wife beater they're trying to sneak out under the cover of the Tillerson firing. But to be escorted out it strange - it's like somebody popped up instantly and needed his immediate removal.

But to be given the soft landing working for the campaign it means he wasn't a leaker or acting against Trump in any way.

I wonder if Kelly ordered the public removal as a show of force. Omarosa was escorted out after she tried to get into the WH residence side to speak with Trump to try and save her job.
 
This made me lol pretty hard for some reason.

Probably tired of all the winning.

Looks like this was for financial crimes. He probably helped Trump violate campaign finance laws, like it looks like at least 5-10 other actors did as well.

I think I figured it out. Daylight savings means more sunlight, and Trump feels out oranged.

Tough job, no wonder the kid cracked under all the pressure.

It's 2018.

All my clocks do it themselves now. It's great.
 

Insider trading?

"Not Trump related probably is in reference to Trump's current investigations BUT he is most certainly Trump related in that it's further proof that Trump "only hires the best people". He is also another guy who was close to the President and ripe for being blackmailed.
 
Trump reelection campaign manager Brad Parscale announced McEntee's hire alongside that of Katrina Pierson, a Trump campaign spokesperson in 2016 who will join the 2020 campaign as a senior adviser.
"As we build out our operations for the 2018 midterm elections and the 2020 reelection campaign, we are pleased to welcome back two outstanding members of our 2016 team," Parscale said in a statement. "We need the help of proven leaders such as Katrina and John to promote the President's growing portfolio of achievements across the country."
<Huh2>
 
Okay I am pretty sure this guy did more than;

"He wasn’t well known in public but was constantly beside Trump for the last three years. His responsibilities consisted of having markers for Trump to sign autographs, delivering messages to the residence and ensuring the clocks in the White House residence were adjusted for daylight-savings."

That is some pretty poor journalism and a underhanded jab at this job

Not really. The "body man" is a personal assistant. Obama's more known one was Reggie Love, and it was reported that he always carried around snacks he knew Obama liked as part of his "job".
