'I have to wear a scarlet T now': Trump staffers whine that his riot has destroyed their reputations

January 11, 2021
Brad Reed

Trump White House staffers are upset at President Donald Trump because the riot at the United States Capitol building he incited last week is harming their future employment prospects.

According to Bloomberg News senior White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs, many Trump staffers are "incensed" at the president for sparking an insurrection against Congress because it's made them toxic among employers who would otherwise be eager to hire people with experience working at the executive branch of the United States government.

"I have to wear a scarlet T now," complained one staffer, according to Jacobs.

Another staffer accused Trump of being completely selfish and not caring at all for the people who have gone to bat to defend him for the last four years.

I could muster a milligram of sympathy for these folks if I hadn't spent the last five years telling them this is exactly how it would all turn out, and their response was always, "Cry more, libtard!" So feel free to lie in the bed you've made.
