President Donald Trump said Friday that he wishes former White House staff secretary Rob Porter well, despite reports that the President was “very disturbed” by the domestic abuse allegations against Porter.
“We wish him well, he worked very hard. We found out about it recently and I was surprised by it, but we certainly wish him well and it’s a tough time for him,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump said Porter “did a very good job when he was in the White House” and hopes “he has a wonderful career and he will have a great career ahead of him.”
Trump also assured reporters that “it was very sad when we heard about it,” and that Porter, who Trump said maintained “very strongly yesterday that he’s innocent,” is certainly “also very sad now.”

I’ve run out of smart ass comments aimed at this jackass,
And best wishes to all the other wife beaters out there. They too can aspire to be president someday just like the fraud in the Oval Office.
There are “good people” among them too.
Trump is trying to be nice because he knows that Mueller will probably be wanting to chat with Porter.
Of course Dear Leader wishes him well. After all, what did Porter do that was so wrong?
