Trump Punishes Longtime Aide After Angry Phoenix Speech, Sources Say

George Gigicos removed as president’s rally organizer
Sparse crowd put Trump in foul mood before delivering remarks

Donald Trump was in a bad mood before he emerged for a confrontational speech in Arizona last week.

TV and social media coverage showed that the site of his campaign rally, the Phoenix Convention Center, was less than full. Backstage, waiting in a room with a television monitor, Trump was displeased, one person familiar with the incident said: TV optics and crowd sizes are extremely important to the president.

As his surrogates warmed up the audience, the expanse of shiny concrete eventually filled in with cheering Trump fans. But it was too late for a longtime Trump aide, George Gigicos, the former White House director of advance who had organized the event as a contractor to the Republican National Committee. Trump later had his top security aide, Keith Schiller, inform Gigicos that he’d never manage a Trump rally again, according to three people familiar with the matter [....]

Morton Downey?

In reply to Worst trolling I ever saw by

Morton Downey?

He was a later day Joe Pyne (wiki)... although more manic.

Pyne was an American radio and television talk show host, who pioneered the confrontational style in which the host advocates a viewpoint and argues with guests and audience members. He was an influence on other major talk show hosts such as Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Wally George, Alan Burke, Chris Matthews, Morton Downey, Jr., Bob Grant, and Michael Savage.

You'll note in this show he is far from being confrontational. But the majority of his shows got downright crazy...

This was a fine post.

I missed it.

I just got on line today with my new PC.

I love live posts as you well know.

The only thing I would add as a postscript involves my favorite CAT:

Alveda King endorsed Herma

In reply to I think it's important to

Alveda King endorsed Herma Cain. She stood by Cain when charges of adultery were made. She "knew" that Cain was not a skirtchaser. She was wrong. Perhaps she needs to work on her skills at identifying people's.character before making Presidential endorsements

She misjudged Cain and she misjudged Trump.

Thanks for posting that. It

Thanks for posting that. It is downright creepy. The guns that these people love to brandish are symptoms of their insecurity and the weakness in their character. I agree that cats are more emotionally mature than many of those quoted in the article, but even cats need to get their claws clipped.

Cats are waaay savvier than people with control of the emotions.

In reply to yeah, looking at headlines at

Just checked out Schwartz's latest tweets, predicts Arizona show after commenting on Afghanistan speech, mentions projection of being out of control re media attacks, yesterday, before Arizona:

Being humiliated by CEOs, shunned by ex-Mara Lago charities & disdained on all sides has got to be killing Trump. Adoration is all he wants.

Example of Trump projection. He says: "Very dishonest Fake Media is out of control. He means: "Very dishonest president is out of control."

However haltingly, Trump can read a script from a teleprompter. Don't mistake for what's in his heart. You'll get that tonite in Phoenix.

I think it's important to point out a couple of things.

The audience was clearly cherry picked, this was a performance. With a very black-skinned male "fan" standing very close behind Trump/the podium, who was very physically active in support. Seemed like they had a tout to lead the chants, applause and cheers at the appropriate points.

But it was checking out the whole pre-program that was a revelation. Very clearly Christian right version of racial unity , the whole program was planned to appeal to the Christian right including Christian right blacks

Ben Carson did the intro speech and then he introduced a niece of Martin Luther King, Alveda King, a Trump supporter, gave a prayerful speech about racial prejudice, abortion and various other sinful things, and she introduced Franklin Graham for the invocation prayer.

At the end of that video, for me YouTube automatically the plays a video of Ben Carson's speech.
