I wonder what this is REALLY about.  Mrs. Trump is not the first or even second person to be subject to disaffection by Deputy Security Advisor, Mira Ricardel.  I am also fairly sure that our demure First Lady would not intentionally make a public announcement about Ms Ricardel… it is entirely out of character. SO… what is this really about?

Like her boss, National Security Advisor John Bolton, Ms Ricardel is known to be blunt (I was going to say “pushy” but, that is not PC).  Also, Mr. Bolton is reported to be surprised and unhappy about this “news” event. This fits the definition of “blindsiding.”

I suspect that the REAL story is catty in the least, and more likely, intentionally disruptive.

Now, Ms Ricardel… right- or wrongfully… has lost her ticket. 

It does, however, resemble the KNOWN Whitehouse behavior of Michelle Obama and Hilary Rodham Clinton.  In contrast, Mrs. Trump has always (until this news cycle) been the epitome of class and graciousness.

And… perhaps THAT is driving this sowing of discontent.
