"I'm not fit to lead you -- and neither is anybody. Maybe Mr. Trump is the only person that can." No, I think Mommy, actually. "You can't lead this team!" Tarek screams, and reaches way back to Lennyville: "You are the most negative person on the team every single time!" Trump -- and he's right -- once again calls bullshit on this. There's a reason Tarek never says anything we haven't heard before. Charmaine tells him that Trump's right: "I'm not negative, Tarek." And he freaks out again: "She's negative! She is negative, Mr. Trump!" And Trump just stares at him like they've not met: "Quite the opposite." Normally the enemy of your enemy is your friend, but I fucking hate these people so much I just want a bomb to drop on Trump Tower. Maybe Roxanne and Tammy and Charmaine could escape, but honestly it would be worth it to lose them too. This fucking nasty show.
"She is a whiner and a nagger throughout the entire process!" screams Tarek, and Charmaine looks at him cross-eyed. "A whiner and a nagger?" Michael weakly protests, and Charmaine asks if he really doesn't mean that she refuses to buy into his bullshit, but Tarek's too busy now screaming at Michael to stop having an opinion, because he has no right to have any of those, or to speak in the Boardroom. Cobra, cobra, cobra. I would fire him for pulling this shit on an assistant, much less a colleague, because it means he'd do it to a client just as easily. He is not in control. Cobra. This is so freaking stupid.
Trump screams over Tarek: "Charmaine, Charmaine..." Instead of telling him to go get his ass fucked by the Fortune 500 like she bloody well should, she turns to him deferentially. "Yes, Mr. Trump?" He says that she's not negative, because she's "very, very attractive," and mentions other nebulous things she has going for her that he doesn't have time to enumerate. "I think you probably lost because of bad decisions, and really some bad leadership decisions in this case. I think there was some weak leadership. You can't control this guy -- he's a maniac. He's supposed to have this great IQ; I don't know...maybe Mensa made a mistake..." Huh? Back to the train of thought, you old fucker. I hate when he loses his place like that. Tarek swallows. "But you can't control him whatsoever. A leader has to control the people that they're leading, so Charmaine, you're fired."
Silence. Charmaine stands, and somewhere, Allie lies prostrate before a stone altar, with bright knives by her side, and thanks her Dark Lords that she didn't get fired last week for...the exact same fucking thing. Charmaine stands, and Trump says, "Wait one second." The word "prolapse" suddenly holds specific and powerful meaning for Tarek Saab.
