Why won’t Donald Trump take photos with Tiffany Trump?
TRUMP DENIES SPONSOR'S CLAIMS THAT WE WILL NOT TAKE PICTURES
Madeleine Westerhout reportedly told the media her boss that she avoids being photographed with her young daughter, because of her weight.
If there’s one thing this Trump’s outfit won’t last, it’s the unwelcome remarks made to the media. That seems to be the case with former presidential aide Madeleine Westerhout, who lost her job last week, reportedly because of comments she made about Donald Trump's relationship with daughters Ivanka and Tiffany. Meanwhile, Trump retaliated against Saturday morning's news, writing on Twitter that he had forgiven his former aide: “I understood him well and forgave him! I love Tiffany, she did so well! ”
Westerhout, 28, abruptly left his two-year job at the White House on Thursday, reportedly being caught posting unflattering comments in the media. Earlier, reports indicated that Westerhout had released "personal details about the Trump family" during an unofficial dinner with White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley and several journalists.
Politico now reports that - on Gidley's departure for dinner - Westerhout reportedly told reporters that he was closer to President Trump than one of his daughters, and that Trump was deliberately avoiding taking pictures with Tiffany, as he "saw her fat." Westerhout reportedly also said that Trump could not see Tiffany in the crowd, and then discussed the eating habits of his boss and his son, Barron. A Politico source familiar with the dinner added, "[Westerhout] had been drinking for a couple and at an unannounced time, he turned on a reporter."

Trump himself made a few comments on the situation before his stay at Camp David over the weekend, defending Westerhout while admitting he appeared to have a caffeine. "You don't say things like this that don't say that just hurt other people," he said, before throwing them at Tiffany herself. “She is a good person and she studies hard. He is a good student. He is a great man. . . . Tiffany is beautiful. I love Tiffany. ”
On Saturday morning, Westerhout and his daughter's most complete defense came to Twitter. "Even though Madeleine Westerhout has a totally compelling privacy agreement, she's a very good person and I don't think there could be a reason to use it," she wrote, apparently facing a hidden threat. "You called me yesterday apologizing, you had a bad night."
White House officials appeared to have Westerhout's back. "This was a non-record dinner and the media has openly violated the agreement," an unnamed administration official told Politico Trump and appeared to separate Westerhout's crimes from other former employees, deliberately comparing him to Omarosa Manigault in the next tweet.
