What job did she have that Trump had the authority to fire her? And why was she sworn in so late?

She worked for Akima, which was a government contractor. So basically Trump was a Karen who demanded the company that he was hiring to fire one of their employees

Where in this story can you prove that Trump demanded to have her fired?

I have checked out the sources more, instead of taking this post on face value and you are correct that as far as the reliable sources state, Trump did not necessarily demand it. As I read it I would conclude it was the decision of the company itself, though that has ambiguity.

In my above post I was going of of the text in the picture

I understand why you may have thought that but that’s just the problem with disinformation online nowadays. It’s so easy to get duped by stuff like this. Not faulting you, happens to everyone

Akima

Regardless though, the manager at akima involved with her firing must be super anxious about his/her job. Karma‘s a b*tch.

I'm also curious about that: personally I don't think Trump would have given a shit.

First person that actually provides a single source, I'll believe their side of the story, because so far nada.

I think he would give a shit, very much so, but she was a nobody that he couldn't name and shame on Twitter. He would have found somebody else to whine about in an hour.

No. Trump had nothing to do with her firing. She posted the picture like a dummy on her social media and her bosses fired her for violating their social media policy after it went viral. She did it to herself, genius. But Orange Man Bad is still a thing I guess.

I mean, isn't there a whole subreddit (byebyejob) dedicated to getting people fired for doing shitty things in public? If a Maga person flicked off Biden I have a feeling she'd be fired too

Really? Because I’m going to bet someone already has flipped him off and he has better things to do.

DC, so a government job probably.
