Trump really knows about loyal friendships. Just ask Martha Stewart.I have no idea what Trump actually expected the women to do. If they stick together, he fires them both because they can't make the case to keep one but not the other. If they attack each other, he fires them both for breaking up their friendship.
Inother words, he made up his mind to get rid of both, and there was nothing either one could do.
I do believe the friendship angle is nice though. I guess these two are pretty genuine friends.
