That was only ONE of Tana's numerous disasterous blunders.
Before the flag issue even came up, she had no problem blowing off the fact that the Governor of the State of NY was waiting outside with nothing to do. She brushed off his assistant. She did not have a planned itinerary for the Governor. And after all this...she proudly introduced herself to him as if nothing at all had gone wrong!
She DID delegated the duties which at first seemed like a smart thing...but then didn't want to be bothered by the details of which there were many, and ALL were overlooked...then got pissed when nobody complimented her. At one point Kristen was trying to tell her something and she took a 'yeah, fine, whatever...' attitude and then whined that she needed to be left alone.
She and treated her team disrespectfully and then blamed them individually each time something was questioned (a trait I thought belonged to Kendra until last night).
She didn't proofread the program which contained embarrassing mistakes.
She didn't notice that people were leaving early.
She ASSUMED there was an American Flag included with the rest of the world flags. When there was none for the Gov. to carry after he REQUESTED ONE...she nonchalantly asked someone else if they happened to know where she'd find one. When the one hanging from the ceiling was pointed out to her...instead of sending someone to get it she simply dismissed it as unreachable.
Then...ultimate kiss of death...she stated repeatedly that this was it, she had this apprentice job in the bag.
After all of it...she dismissed her team and sent them off because after all, '...they're the EMPLOYEES, and there should be some distance...'
WOW.
Never has my opinion changed faster than it did last night. Tana's smart...but she proved last night that she does not posess the skill and maturity to handle a scope of work akin to being an apprentice to Mr. Donald Trump.
I think that once Tana has seen this episode as a viewer like the rest of us and had a chance to SEE how many things she screwed up, she will know that it's not quite as 'in the bag' as she thought. She will have to fight for herself at next week's finale.

I agree.
Apple
ps - Only reason I knew last night's show wasn't the GRAND finale was that a recent firee mentioned on a talk show that it would be on May 19th.
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
