We’re sure it’s just a coincidence (wink wink), but Ja’Ron Smith, the highest-ranking Black person in the White House and a top aide who worked with Jared Kushner, left his position Friday, according to Bloomberg News. However, a White House official confirmed that Smith had left his role in the Trump administration, but said his exit was long-planned, regardless of the election outcome, according to The Hill. Sure, OK, dude.
CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins reported that people in the administration are “looking for jobs.”
The atmosphere inside the West Wing is being described as a bit frenzied as reality sets in that Biden is only pulling further ahead. Trump’s closest aides seem to be working to manage his frustration. Mark Meadows is focused on Pennsylvania. And many others are looking for jobs.

At any rate, the outlet further reports that Smith’s White House e-mail returned an automated message on Friday: “Hello, I’m no longer at the White House.”

Smith made his exit just three days after Election Day as Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appears on the verge of clinching the 270 electoral votes needed to secure the White House. News of Smith’s departure follows a report that Donald Trump’s Secretary of Defense Mark Esper prepared a letter of resignation from the administration.
We expect more departures from Trump’s White House, thus leaving the narcissistic president on his own as he flails about with false claims of widespread voter fraud to cling to power. Good luck with that after so many people tied themselves to such a toxic and divisive administration.
Imagine being an employer while looking through a stack of resumés and seeing one stand out, stating that an individual worked with the most racist and volatile president in U.S. history. Hard pass, right? By the way, has anyone seen Attorney General Bill Barr lately? Oddly, a few in this administration are strangely quiet lately.
And I was being sarcastic when I wished them luck. The suffering this administration caused millions of Americans won’t be forgotten — especially by future historians.
