2.48pm EST14:48 The reason that First Lady Melania Trump wants top national security aide Mira Ricardel fired apparently doesn’t have anything to do with policy. Instead, it is about a dispute over plane seating when the First Lady visited Africa last month. Reuters has fleshed out some of the details as well: One of the sources said that their dealings over the trip “didn’t go well.” The other source said that Melania Trump felt that Ricardel tried to short-change the first lady in terms of U.S. government resources allocated to support her Africa tour.
