News — One of President Trump's closest confidants and top aides, Hope Hicks, is discussing resigning before he leaves office, according to two people. She has told people if she does, she would likely leave within the next 48 hours. It's not clear she has made a decision.

A Hicks exit would be more of a blow to Trump than the type of Chao and DeVos departures we’ve seen so far.

All that trouser-steaming allows time for reflection.

It means nothing unless these people resigning make a strong statement that it is because of reprehensible behavior.

Not the context I expected to see "Hicks", "Trump" and "blow" in one sentence.
2021 is full of surprises.

Horrible, evil, trash...

Let's not do anything precipitate now. I mean, sure, your boss just tried to incite a riot and violently overthrow the U.S. government, but is that really any reason to disassociate yourself from the great man? Think of how it would make him feel! Ya just gotta stay. Your pals in the media will rehabilitate you, don't worry. Remember the soft focus profile you scored when it looked (briefly) like you might have to answer for your crimes? They'll do it again for you. Fox, the New York Times, and the rest will line up to clean any tarnish off your image.

She went out to California after first resigning and the agents out there didn't come running with movie offers for her so she stupidly came back to trump.

Bad move. Now she's forever tarred with the rest of the trump loyalists.

... unfortunately aides with six-figure salaries whose notable accomplishment seems to be "steaming pants" while the owner is wearing them might not be quite the hot commodity Hope was expecting. Whether or not the post-Weinstein environment had anything to do with that is unknown...
