Why Trump-s Top Aide To Step Down, Day After Melania Called For Removal?

"It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that (Ricardel) no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House," the Office of the First Lady said in a statement, announcing the firing of Trump’s key national adviser Mira Ricardel.

Of course, the reason given behind ousting Mira Ricardel is very vague. There are no official words as to what exactly she did, what was her fault.

It should be noted that 2 years back when Donald Trump was looking for the right person in his team who didn’t criticize his candidacy, Mira Ricardel stepped forward. And since then, she has been playing a pivotal role in Trump’s administration.

Over the course, there have been many reports of a power struggle between First Lady Melania Trump and Mira Ricardel. On many occasions, President Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton, who was also the one to have hand-picked her, came forward to support Ms. Ricardel in her row with Mrs. Trump. But he failed this time.

According to the reports in the USA media, although the problems between First Lady Melania Trump and Mira Ricardel has long existed, this time things spiraled out due to seating arrangements on a flight during a trip to Africa almost 2 weeks back. It is reported that both the ladies had a heated argument over the seating in a plane. And this left Melania Trump “yugely” upset and fuming.

It is also said that First Lady Melania Trump believed that Mira Ricardel was leaking negative stories about her in the press. And her unprecedented talk during her trip to media person saying that she doesn’t trust a few people at the White House was allegedly directed at Ms. Ricardel.

However, in her statement, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders did add that “Mira Ricardel will continue to support the President as she departs the White House to transition to a new role within the Administration.” Nothing is confirmed yet as to in what capacity will Ms. Ricardel serve the President now.
