2. Exhibit One: Hope Hicks from the first administration

She originally worked for Ivanka. Her father co-opted her and moved her office right next to his.

He kept her around for his male ego. She got plenty of undue and unwanted male attention. Even got caught up with Rob Porter, who had a history of spousal abuse. Her parents tried an intervention to get out of this toxic environment. She did separate for a period, but Trump got Ivanka to entice her back to the WH for a little while.

She eventually testified against Trump. Likely in the hopes (no pun intended) that she had permanently broken the ties of the past.

IMO, she was brainless woman but canny enough to ride the wave of vicarious power for while it lasted. You know, an opportunist. And she barely paid the price to assisting a corrupt administration.
