He hired someone named “Scaramucci” as Communications Director?

Why do I picture him calling CNN head honchos into his office, and telling them “See, The boss, he don’t like what youse guys have been saying about him, and we think you youse oughtta stop, Capiche?”

Wasn’t it Scaramucci who got the NYSlimes to back down and publicly recant (at warp speed) one of their fake news stories not long ago?

IIRC, many here said that the Slimes messed with the wrong guy when they messed with Scaramucci because he played Big League Hardball. Sounds like just the kind of guy to be Communications Director.

-- I just wasn't encouraged by the spattiness that seemed to come with the report. --

Heheheh. NYT will convert a compliment into a spat, if doing so makes Trump look bad.

Why?

Is Spicer some kind of boy wonder?

I trust Trump’s judgment to fire, hire, and accept or decline resignation as he desires. He’s the boss.

Disagree. If he’s disgruntled, best he not stay.

Sessions is hostile to the POTUS. He is the enemy along with the Democrats and RINO’s all over Washington DC.

That was an entertaining account to watch. And all the liberals falling for it as the real Spicer.

An anonymous source says that Spicer was offended by Scarramucci’s request to “do the Fandango”.

For what it’s worth Spicer has not tweeted his resignation.

I believe he is prepping Scaramucci to be president in 2024. He will hold several different positions over the next 6 or 7 years.

"...Sean Spicer resigns..."


Dammit. I like the guy. This is unfortunate news.
Mainstream media will portray it as "Trump Administration in Tumultuous Freefall...".

I hope Sarah Huckabee Sanders officially becomes the primary press secretary. I love the way she mops the floor with Fake News @sses like Little Jimmy Pee Pee Pants Acosta. She has a way of really spinning him up, and Little Jimmy’s daily toddler tantrums have become boring and repetitive, no one cares.
