The illegitimate and cartoonish nature of Donald Trump’s faux-presidency was no better defined than his decision to hire former Apprentice contestant Omarosa for a high-paying and do-nothing job in the White House. No matter how many times the media has reported this year that Trump hired the famously scheming Omarosa for his administration, most of the public still thought it was just a joke. Today was no joke, however, after she was fired and escorted out by security while reportedly yelling and cursing.

Trump’s White House is taking the official position that Omarosa voluntarily resigned, without giving a reason for that supposed resignation. But respected White House correspondent April Ryan is telling a very different story. Here is the explanation Ryan posted on Twitter for why Omarosa was fired: “Sources say General Kelly did the firing and Omarosa is alleged to have acted very vulgar and cursed a lot and said she helped elect President Trump. The word is General Kelly had it and got rid of her. According to multiple sources Omarosa did not resign. She was even escorted out of he building and off campus.”

Here’s how Ryan characterized the firing itself: “Gen Kelly Kicked her out [with] high drama with [Omarosa] offering vulgarities and curse words as she was escorted out of the building and off campus.” In other words Omarosa was fired for cursing too much, which led her to begin cursing even more. Of course there has to be even more to the story.

John Kelly became White House Chief of Staff several months ago. If he wanted Omarosa gone for something as simple as having a foul mouth, he’d have fired her a long time ago. Something new had to have transpired, which we presume will leak out in the coming days. In addition, while Kelly technically did the firing, he runs these things past Donald Trump for approval first. So Trump ultimately made the decision to fire his own friend Omarosa. Is this merely the latest stupid attempt at distracting from the worsening Trump-Russia scandal?
