Could have been both. The article notes that Karem took over two roles:

He assumed the combined roles held by longtime Trump aides John McEntee and Keith Schiller

Just a helper. Someone who stays close (hence “body”) and does whatever chores are needed.

Other presidents have had them. Obama’s was Reggie Love. You can look him up.

Karem has been with Trump since 2015. He began as a campaign volunteer, then took a salary. Among other things, he dealt with the press.

That he has been “director of Oval Office operations since March” doesn’t tell the whole story.

It evolved out of the old King’s “Groom of the Stool.” Karem will be taking his experiences into the commercial market and best wishes and success to him. When Karem was asked what advice he would give his replacement, he simply said “Always remember, jiggle the handle.”

That’s a tell. He, like Schiller, knows where all the bodies are buried. He’s hoping to get out before the indictments hit.

“Body man” is the standard terminology for personal assistant to POTUS (I credit “The West Wing” for most of what I “understand” about WH protocols :slight_smile: )

His desk wrapped up in a back pack and one box??
Jeeze, When I retired and moved out of my office it took 6 large boxes and my pick up truck just to move my books. The files and nick knacks took a separate trip with the truck.
Sheesh.

“I know he will do many great things in the future.”
Like testifying against you before a grand jury? We can always hope.

I’ve heard of a body double, but Fat Nixon would need a body quadruple to create a semi-plausible likeness.

He’s the one guy that gets to leave the White House with his pride, though in a box.

I imagine most Trump staffers have to keep their pride in a box while working for him. That is if they had any to begin with.

Go after this parasite of a human being immediately. These traitors don’t get to slither away like the sub human snakes they are. They need to have their families, businesses and actions targeted and the book thrown at them all.
