Trump's PR boss throws out? was the pressure too big for the 29-year-old?
As head of communications for Donald Trump, Hope Hicks certainly did not have an easy job. But the 29-year-old had actually beaten more than good.
Since Trump announced his candidacy three years ago, the young woman assisted him as a consultant. She is considered to be the ultimate trump-giver, possibly outdoing even his wife Melania, who recently faced up to her husband in the weapons debate.
Hicks was more familiar with the president than a daughter. He even called her "another daughter".
Resignation allegedly planned for weeks
All the more surprising that the ex-model now hinschmeißt. A concrete reason for their termination did not provide Hicks. However, she has planned her resignation for weeks, it was said from the White House, only a small circle but knew about it.
It is unclear whether Hicks resignation may have to do with their insider knowledge of Trump's controversial relationship with Russia. On Tuesday, the 29-year-old was interrogated for nine hours by the intelligence service, reports "The Washington Post," on some of the questions she had denied the statement. In addition, she confessed to having told a white lie for her boss here and there.
The situation with the former Trump employee Rob Porter is said to have added Hicks. He was released from office in early February for allegations of domestic violence. Hicks participated in his release? although she had an affair with Porter. The Washington Post reports that the ex-PR leader was seen crying in the White House during this time.
Whatever the real reasons? "Daddy" Donald said goodbye to his confidant. She has done "great work", but he understands perfectly that she wants to reorient herself. Especially since he is sure anyway: "In the future, we will work together again."
Incidentally, Hope Hicks is Number 19 on the list of top presidential advisors who have given up their jobs since the beginning of his term. It remains to be seen who will fill up the 20s when?
