Which makes you wonder why we need Sanders and the Press Office at all? The President is more than capable of reaching out to media representatives he trusts all on his own, and word will get out from the interviews he gives to them. The amount of money saved would surely be in the millions of dollars.
Evaluating everything in terms of $$$ is foolish
You need a press office. A President does not have informing the press as his priority. He has other things to do. Sanders is great. She is very good at explaining things and retorting. Having a face other than Trump’s deliver his message can be a good thing because it keeps the principles and ideas in front, rather than making Trump himself the focus of attention.
