I am the daughter of Mexican emigrants, a US Citizen, but nevertheless I was looked with some distrust when I joined Donald J. Trump campaign. I had to work hard to prove myself. I showed not only how much of course I admired him, or how crucial recovering our country was, but that I was ready to do anything necessary. Anything. I needed to be there, to make a difference. Winning. I carried out a thousand of menial tasks to a meticulous perfection. Arrange venues, calls, catering, there was nothing I couldn’t fulfil with a smile. And eventually I even got close to him. So exciting. Also, I knew how to make an impression. The proper outfit, always elegant but short dresses, and what I would describe as my tremendous charms. You don’t always need to be modest; something I learned with him. And there I was in the close circle. Just an hour to the debate. I brought the tray with doughnuts and coffee to his hotel room. A proper bite of energy before the big event. I felt the electricity tingling my body. He was on a desk reading the briefings. He turned off the reading lamp and gave me a big smile. That stunning confidence that almost nothing can take down. This was going to be great, huge. I went out and laid on the grass, eager and almost ecstatic. I opened the live streaming in my phone, ready to enjoy. There he was. Everything normal at the beginning, but then he started to fumble his answers, clearly intoxicated. A debacle. And in his frantic grasping for words he said that. Really said that. You could see that even he realized the magnitude of the catastrophe. I put so much love in those doughnuts. Success taste delicious. |
