    The first thing I wondered when I heard the news was if she knew, because this same thing has happened before. Despite “you’re fired” being the phrase that made Trump famous, outside of scripted television he’s a chickenshit coward who can’t fire underlings in person. He has to do it indirectly to avoid confrontations.

        After the second ICE Execution, she and Lewandowski had a two hour private meeting with Trump. Everyone thought she’d be fired, but they call came out with Trump hailing their success, and giving his blessing.

        He’s notoriously easy to manipulate. On his first visit to Moscow in 1987, the Russians were so amazed at his response to the most insincere flattery, that they identified him as a valuable asset, and gave him the code name Krasnov.

        Those around him know how to smooth talk him with flattery, so when he really has to fire them, he can’t do it face to face. Suzy Wiles probably won’t even let him fire anybody in person anymore. When it’s time to cut someone loose, don’t give them the chance to talk him out of it.
