“Apparently she offered her resignation but Trump wouldn’t take it .”
That’s a mistake.
I remember reading a long time ago about the democrats plan to “permeate” the republican party, in particular the consultant class.
Watching Romney seemingly purposely losing the last election, I believe the dems have succeeded.
Fire her, and route out the rest of them.
Easier way to fire her without appearing an ogre given her long history as his co-author. Who knows firing her may trigger false allegations regarding him given her involvement in his books. Better to nicely marginalize her and then after the election can her.
