Ivana needs to be fired (and so do Maria and Chris), but Raj needed to be fired as well. Raj has been a problem for a number of weeks. Remember Carolyn telling them in the boardroom after the fashion fiasco that the designer and models said they couldn't get their work done because Raj was driving them crazy? Trump thought Raj is hitting on women all the time (Robin might agree with him) -- who needs a candidate for a sexual harassment target.
Last week, Raj may have owned up that the terrible military themed ad was his idea, and he may have defended it because it was "the only vision on the table," but it was a vision directly contrary to what Deutch told them he wanted to see. While someone on the team (other than the completely ineffectual Elizabeth) should have caught that, Raj should have been able to follow simple directions.
This week, Raj did a terrible job as PM. 4 bedrooms to 3? What was he thinking? And yes, Kevin may have found and recommended the contractor, but Raj totally failed to supervise the contractor or take action when it became obvious that the contractor wasn't going to deliver in time. (Contrast that with Andy, who wasn't even PM). Again, being in real estate, Raj should have had a better clue.
Then he didn't bring Chris into the boardroom when Trump practically told him to. Instead, he brought Ivana because he and Jen decided she was the weakest link and needed to go. Problem was, though, that he couldn't point to a specific reason for bringing Ivana into the boardroom and had to rest on "she doesn't add anything." Guess he didn't take into account that Carolyn and Matt (?) had been observing and might tell Trump that Ivana worked hard in this task (which they did), making Raj look petty for bringing her in.
Go Andy!
