Alas, it seems that Lake may have flown just a little too close to the sun. Despite her sycophancy (she once told Piers Morgan that Trump is so powerful he wouldn’t even need a vice-president), there are reports that Trump has soured on his protege. His newfound objections? Lake likes the limelight too much, apparently. She’s a “spotlight hound”, one Trump adviser complained to the Daily Beast. When Trump thinks you’re too thirsty for attention, that’s really saying something.
If Trump really has turned on Lake, is this the end of her career? Unfortunately, I doubt it. Her hopes of being Trump’s running mate may have hit a snag, but she’s still got her eyes on a Senate seat. “She’s a shameless, ruthless demagogue who wants power and will do whatever she has to do to get it,” a Trump adviser complained to the Daily Beast. Which is exactly the sort of person who tends to do well in modern politics.
Name names or it didn’t happen, Liar McLiarface.
