(CNN)First lady Melania Trump, in a remarkable move carried out by her spokeswoman, publicly pushed for the ouster of deputy national security adviser Mira Ricardel. "It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that (Ricardel) no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House," the first lady's communications director Stephanie Grisham said in a statement on Tuesday. The statement amounted to a stunning public rebuke by a first lady of a senior official serving in her husband's administration. It came after reports surfaced earlier Tuesday indicating Ricardel would be pushed out of her post after less than seven months on the job. Neither Ricardel not spokespeople for the National Security Council responded to CNN requests for comment.

I believe the correct term, as used by Pat Buchanan was it, is: NATTERING NABOBS.
Solid move.
Real Leadership
True First Lady.
Melania for president!
Ricardel was a close associate of Bolton. This is the second Bolton staffer to get axed in the last month. I’d say someone is after Bolton’s head as well, so could Trump be looking for yet another National Security Advisor?
I think it was Spiro Agnew.
That was Sprio Agnew. “Nattering nabobs of negativism.”
You are correct in the word used, but this was coined by Spiro T. Agnew, when addressing the press of Nixon’s day. I believe he was addressing the press, but he could have mean all those coming out critical of Nixon too at the public level (in the press).
I couldn’t come up with the proper “N” word. Thanks for the mention.
William Safire was his speech writer
Oh Boy. Just can’t wait to see the political cartoons with a First Lady child’s desk to the side of the President’s.
“When mama isn’t happy, nobody is happy.”
And when papa isn’t happy, nobody gives a damn.
Great post.
Just because Fox News is reporting it does not make it true, especially if it is Liz Clayman. That woman is an idiot. I will wait or confirmation from the WH.

Interesting...
Thanks.
Bears repeating :-)
“Liz Claman of Fox Business is reporting that Ricardel has been fired and escorted off of the WH grounds.”
CNN will headline: UNLECTED MELANIA TRUMP SETTING POLICY IN WHITE HOUSE.
LOL...at least it wasn’t ashtray in the head dismissal. Ala KILLary.
Maybe the aide had an affair or didn’t act like a lady deserving the job she has.
