Yet another fall guy in Trump's long list. If KG's departure has any impact on imminent mid term elections I hope it isn't in his favour.

Basically, Trump has little self-control, and is unable to separate personal from public life.

I completely agree.

Because it is now public, IMO. The GOP is headed down a short path career wise and elections are mere weeks away. They need a fall guy so they appear to be working "for the people". Now they can say, see, we took care of the corruption.

Just more proof that when they no longer have a use for you, they will discard you, even if you were in bed with a Trump previously.

What's puzzling?

She's the former fiancee of Donald Trump Jnr (i.e. some previous personal family relationship history not likely to still be in family favour). She is the Ambassador to Greece (Trump often assigns jobs to family members and their partners).

KG allegedly asked a Trump donor to pay her hefty credit card bill. No suggestion the donor did pay her credit card bill as far as I am aware.

KG denies asking. Trump has asked her to resign as "she was doing a good job but we didn't like what we were hearing". No investigation as far as I'm aware.

Why does Trump decide to get rid of people? Because he does what he wants and seeks to remove people, often arbitrarily if they no longer please him or dance to his tune.

Not sure what Michelle Mone has to do with this issue 🤷‍♀️

I am mildly puzzled about her forced resignation. Why, amongst all the corruption that's going on, did Trump choose to take a stand on this one?

Of course she should go, but did Trump decide this because she's not one of his family, or because she's a woman or ...?

I'm reminded of two other current cases - the only person in prison - and rightly in prison - due to involvement with Epstein is a woman.

And Michelle Mone seems highly deserving and whatever shit comes her way, but she was not the only one who enriched herself.
