The White House announced on Friday afternoon that it has hired a manager at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., to serve as the White House’s chief usher.
Timothy Harleth is the director of rooms at President Donald Trump’s D.C. hotel, and had previously worked in management at other hotels in Washington, D.C. and New York.
“I am so pleased that Timothy will be joining our team,” First Lady Melania Trump said in a statement announcing Harleth’s hiring. “He was selected because of his impressive work history and management skills. My husband and I know he will be successful in this vital role within the White House.”
As chief usher, Harleth will oversee the staff that runs the White House residence.
The White House confirmed in early May that the chief usher appointed during the Obama administration had left the post. Angella Reid, appointed in 2011, was the first female chief usher and was only the ninth person to serve in the role.
"Timothy Harleth is the director of rooms at President Donald Trump’s D.C. hotel…"
He knows stuff. Best to pull him closer into the fold.
Having shown his skill in welcoming many odious and corrupt visitors to Emoluments Central, it is only fitting that he should now escort the moneymen directly to the Grifter-in-Chief.
Really? Well, how much ushing has he done in the past?
Wonderful. They’ll be renting rooms by next week.
I think the qualification had to do more with gushing than ushing.
Effusive praise and unquestionable fealty are very important characteristics at Emolument Central.
