This is no Punk'd episode. Carolyn Kepcher, Donald Trump's #2 female sidekick on The Apprentice, can officially fall in line for unemployment and COBRA because the arrogant one canned her. And her replacement on the show is Ivanka Trump because you know she is a savvy, experienced business woman at the ripe old age of 24, and VP of Real Estate Development at Trump Inc. Oh and lest we not forget, she was a high fashion model, and we know just how much biz smarts models have.
Apparently, according to a planted media mole, an unidentified insider:
"She became a prima donna. She was giving speeches for
$25,000 and doing endorsements."
So, I don't know about you all but I don't buy this story at all. I think the one who has let fame get to their head is the one with the penis and bad hairstyle. This is my conspiracy theory:
- Donald has to look like a business genius, so therefore he cannot have people who are more talented, smarter, or popular than him. George was a fossil and not sexy. Carolyn pretty much spoke when given permission, and was in charge of 2 golf courses and not any buildings or hot downtown properties. Initially, Donald thinks that Carolyn's speaking engagements are "Pumping up the brand" but then she starts to get popular. She is in demand. People are paying her big bucks to speak. She writes a book. Carolyn is doing good for herself. But heaven's no we cannot have anyone being more popular than Donald especially the woman. We'll have none of that.
- Donald Jr and Ivanka are now the 2 sidekicks. This has nepotism painted all over it like red on communism. Come on! I'd buy this firing story if 1. We heard more stories of Carolyn's "only green M&M's and pure Swiss water" antics in the news, and 2. Her replacement was a seasoned, smart, executive at Trump Inc, not the boss's kid.
- At a Learning Annex Wealth Expo, Donald said, "Hire the best people, and then don't trust them." I kid you not. Great working environment, huh. So, you are guilty until proven innocent. Loyalty is crucial to Trump, and he has probably taken Carolyn's non-compliance to devote 1000% of her time and energy to Trump as a dis-loyalty worthy of public humiliation a la Martha Stewart. Donald can control his kids, and if they step out of line, he can easily cut off the purse strings as fast as he can say, "You're Fired!"
