Recent “You’re Fired” Aide May Be Returning To Trump’s White House Reality Show

It hasn’t even been a week since Donald Trump’s “body man” John McEntee was suddenly thrown out of the White House due to security concerns that arose from his (we’ve since learned, thanks to the Washington Post) expensive, high-stakes gambling habit, but Politico reports that the White House is currently considering bringing him back to work.

Now, when it comes to the gambling habit, well, that isn’t the kind of behavior you typically see in White House aides, since A) it makes the odds that the gambler is open to blackmail just the kind of odds said gambler would take in any bet (assuming he was betting on being blackmailed) and B) generally speaking, historically, White House aides have taken their positions and responsibilities more seriously than pretty much everyone working in Trump’s White House.

Of course, this Administration is long on recriminations, and short on repercussions (remember: McEntee was hired by the Trump campaign almost as he was being escorted off the White House grounds), so while the shock level here is pretty low, the disgust level remains high.

Wanna’ bet he returns to the White House?
