First lady's office seeks firing of deputy security adviser

The office of first lady Melania Trump said on Tuesday that Mira Ricardel, the deputy national security adviser, a position just below that of John Bolton, should be given her walking papers. This is a rather bold move coming after President Trump is contemplating further firings of his Cabinet after the attorney general Jeff Sessions was forced to resign.

Stephanie Grisham, Melania's communication director and not related to writer John Grisham as far as we can tell, said in a statement, "It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that [Ricardel] no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House."

Why?

Because it is alleged by the Wall Street Journal that Ricardel and Melania Trump's staff had a dispute over seating arrangement on a plane during the first lady's trip to Africa last month. The Journal also added that Grisham's office suspects Ricardel of leaking negative stories about Mrs. Trump and her staff.

"If so, she should be waterboarded and fired thereafter," an anonymous source told CNN's Jim Acosta.

It was further reported that Ricardel fought with Defense Secretary Mad Dog Mattis over policy differences, staffing decisions, and the best way to kill someone to neutralize the threat.

Ricardel assumed the deputy national security adviser in May, one month after POTUS appointed John Bolton as national security adviser to replace Henry McMaster.

The angst over Ricardel comes at a time Trump is considering changes to his Cabinet that might include the firings of White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, and first lady Melania Trump, although that's somewhat doubtful at this time.

WJS reported Tuesday that Trump is "resigned" to the possibility of a Kelly canning if Nielsen is made to resign.
