Just a quick thought, not a nice one It struck me that when Ammarosa

Got thrown out of the WH the day after the AL election it was an act of anger by trump because blackwomen defeated him by voting 95% forJones. Ammarosa was the only convenient black woman in his range to take his anger out on.

He is petty, mean and revengeful. So yes I think he could have done exactly what you describe. nt Irish_Dem Dec 2017 #1

Why Wednesday? Why not earlier or later? Sure, Kelly wanted her gone for the longest time, but Trump wanted her around. Alabama changed Trump's mind.

Not suggesting in any way he was wrong to can Omarosa--she's pretty damned disgusting, but for him, it was a "twofer". Further, i don't doubt he used the issue of black women voting against Moore in AL with Trump (assuming there was ANY reluctance at all at her firing)

...had exactly the same idea. Trump weirdly held her responsible for the black vote in AL. Much as I despise her, as a WH official she could not have participated in vote getting, campaigning or anything else to do with Moore. And the timing was suspect too.

Sure she was a useless staffer that Kelly found had no real responsibility, but Trump must have still been enraged and had her fired. No tears here but her book should tear apart the white, male dominated WH staff and Cabinet.

Besides that the running joke has been that nobody knew what her job was, she was scorned at all of the few supposed "outreach' events she attended. She is just an opportunist whose irritating personality both mirrors TWITLER and provided him an outlet for unleashing bullying, abrasive acts on everybody.

Now, here's a time-waster, an absurd 2006 sci-fi spoof she did, in which her mission was to control the world via a snippet of TWITLER's hair:

Bizarre film of Omarosa surfaces amid White House exit

.... The mini-flick was made back in 2006 — two years after Omarosa shot to fame on Trump’s NBC show “The Apprentice.”

In this vaguely “Barbarella”-inspired work, the aging villain drugs Omarosa by feeding her spiked cake, whereupon the red PVC-clad former director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison goes off on a motorcycle to steal the future president’s hair in a showdown on top of a CGI-created Trump Tower.

The film, which has been viewed a mere 6,000 times — as our source put it: “It’s a cult classic. I’m the cult” — was made by former In Touch Weekly photo director Michael Todd, tabloid veteran Matt Coppa and his brother Andrew Coppa.

Matt commented on the video’s YouTube page, “I can’t believe she agreed to do it but glad she did!” while viewers added, “Porn has better lines” and “This woman is nuts!”

12. She was "fired" Tuesday afternoon before election results were announced

Dec 2017

Secret Service issued a tweet around 6 pm Tuesday denying they had escorted her out of WH, so her firing was before election results were know.

However, Trump or a top advisor may have questioned her lack of outreach in Alabama after hearing media reports of Corey Booker and others firing up AA enthusiasm for Jones. Her official title was "Trump Presidential Campaign Director of African American outreach" and she certainly didn't deliver any votes for him last year either. The Fox poll came out before Tuesday giving Jones a big lead with breakdown showing 83% AA favoring Jones, so suggestion by him or someone else of her ineffectiveness could have precipitated the incident if she vented about his endorsement of racist Moore in response.
