The Left-Cheek Ass Clown for August, 2018

Well, it's that time again ... time to skim the scum from the surface of our bubbling cesspool of ass-clownery and name our

Left Cheek Ass Clown for August, 2018

and the award goes to

Omarosa Manigault Newman

Omarosa first became known as a scheming and vindictive character in Donald Trump's "Apprentice" television series. She was later hired into a high-paying White House job by Mr Trump, from which she was unceremoniously fired by Chief of Staff John Kelly after (wait for it...) scheming and vindictive activity*. She went on to publish the latest tell-all book about the Trump administration - Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House - which led Mr Trump to his latest unpresidential tweet storm, in which he wrote

"When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!"

But this award isn't being presented to Donald Trump (who -although deserving - is no longer eligible, having received a lifetime achievement award), it's being presented to Ms Manigault for her own less-than-stellar behavior, including her flagrant violation of security regulations by taping conversations inside the White House Situation Room ... supposedly one of the most secure locations in government. 

For her contributions to the embarrassing circus that is the Trump administration, Omarosa Managault Newman is named our Left-Cheek Ass Clown for August, 2018.

Have a good day, and come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday. More thoughts then.

* Donald Trump evidently feels there's only room for one scheming and vindictive character in the White House.
