No. 268: Love In The White House (a sad state of affairs)


Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Hope Hicks, his communications director and one of his closest confidantes, amid the fallout from the Rob Porter scandal, people familiar with the matter say.

Trump was not consulted when Hicks and several other aides drafted a White House statement defending Porter, and he is under the impression that Hicks has let her romantic relationship with Porter cloud her judgment. . .
CNN: Trump frustrated with Hicks' role in Porter scandal

Is Trump's favorite, Hope Hicks, in a fix, in hot water?
Her White House coworker (dash) boyfriend, Rob Porter 
who seemed proficient, efficient  is thought to have
behaved in ways a gentleman ought not to have.

Trump, muting usual “fire and fury”
lamenting the absence of trial by jury,
said behaviors alleged were not admitted.
He never noted O. J. was acquitted!

Office affairs are frequently fraught,
what is sought after oft times comes to nought.
Such is love's way. What can one say?
Hope dis-Robbed and distressed before Valentine's Day.
