No. 280.3: EXTRA! Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here

BBC News: Hope Hicks: Close Trump aide to resign

The 29-year-old former model and ex-Trump Organization employee has been by Mr Trump's side for years.

She is reported to have told colleagues she felt she had accomplished all she could in the White House.

So, so long, dear Hope.

You were totally “dope”.

Does your departure

seek to avail

an opportunity

to spend less time in jail?

And, that said,

may we add that abuser Rob Porter

had better treat you

in the way that he orta.

No. 280.1: EXTRA! Testify (and Hope?)

WASHINGTON — Hope Hicks, the White House communications director, told House investigators on Tuesday that her work for President Trump, who has a reputation for exaggerations and outright falsehoods, had occasionally required her to tell white lies

          Hope springs eternal
          sometimes, infernal.
          So, dear Ms. Hicks,
          show us some tricks.

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. . .

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.
