Reports have emerged that Donald Trump has given the “you’re fired” treatment to his ally and adviser Roger Stone. However, Stone said that he was the one who called it quits with Trump, saying that his constant feuding is distracting from the core issues.

Trump told The Washington Post‘s Robert Costa that Stone would dispute how the split happened, and indeed, Stone said he was the one who called it quits. The real estate mogul insisted that the move was a result of Stone not being a serious contributor to his campaign, while also citing the publicity his statements have recently received.

A Trump spokesperson reportedly told MSNBC, “we have a tremendously successful campaign and Roger wanted to use the campaign for his own personal publicity.

“I am not familiar with Roger Stone though I understand the newsworthiness of the article.

Not sure I care.”

So, Mr. Stone’s effort to gain personal publicity isn’t that effective?

I work for a wealthy narcissist. People like that have been insulated from reality for so long they don’t even know what it is.

I have tangled with Stone before. The guy is a self-serving schmuck. Trump is better without him, but this is messy for now.

Roger Stone and his wife Ann found the group Republicans for Choice in 1989.

They are HUGE pro-aborts.

Stone also has a bad history with a anti-Hillary 527 that was named a 4 letter word that describes a part of the female anatomy (Starts with the letter C). That’s most likely the reason Trump fired him. The War on Wymmin harpies were probably preparing to go after Trump for Stone’s anti-Hillary 527.

Trump was going to be attacked over Stone’s Citizens United Not Timid. Maybe that was Stone’s plan.

Stone is a sick pervert. He shouldn’t be anyone’s hero.
