homersapien 11,393 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-07-21/spicer-wasn-t-what-s-wrong-with-this-white-house The fall of the press secretary is a very bad sign for the Trump administration. We've finally found the one thing that's perfectly normal about the Donald Trump White House: When things go bad, blame the message (and the messenger), not the substance. And so, with things going quite badly indeed, we get to the resignation of Sean Spicer, press secretary and short-term celebrity "Saturday Night Live" send-up, and the hiring of a new communications director, Anthony Scaramucci. Spicer reportedly resigned over his opposition to Scaramucci, although as with all such explanations, we'll have to see whether it holds up over time. What is obvious from Friday's news is that the White House is as chaotic and mismanaged as ever, given that the news media has already reported not only Spicer's objection to the new press secretary, but also the strong opposition of both White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and senior adviser Steve Bannon, who said Scaramucci would get the job "over my dead body." That part is not normal. It is meaningful. And it doesn't bode well for the future.

GiveEmElle 1,559 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 There's only one thing wrong with the White House and it is Trump. All the other problems stem from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never liked those brown suits he originally wore. He is leaving with a much nicer wardrobe. SNL is going to miss Sean more than anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was told to go out and state bald face lies as if they were true. It wasn't the messenger who was the problem, it was the messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
