Trump promotes his caddy to Carolyn’s old job

December

(Karl Rabe / The Poughkeepsie Journal)

It’s one thing to get the ol’ “You’re Fired!” routine. Then having your sidekick stint on “The Apprentice” given to the boss’s daughter has got to be tough. But getting replaced in your job by one of your former caddiesÃ¢â‚¬â€that’s just cruel.

As our sister publication to the north, The Poughkeepsie Journal, reported, Trump has promoted 30-year-old, Yorktown Heights native Dan Scavino to the position of General Manager of Trump National, the post once held Carolyn Kepcher. As a caddy and bag-room attendant at the Briarcliff Manor golf club, Scavino got in good with The Donald, who said in a press release, “Everybody loves him. He practically grew up there and he’s going to be a star.”

Scavino apparently also rubbed elbows with Joe Torre, Rudy Giuliani, and Bill Clinton on the links. Ah, yet another reminder of what a horrible, life-ruining mistake I made by passing on that caddy gig in 1993 and taking a job at Brooks Brothers instead. Wish I could take a mulligan on that one.
