Not lose-lose for nuts. Win win. They are happy as long as Trump sits in that office - NO MATTER WHAT.
Blows one's mind, right?

Geez, maybe we should start a betting pool on who goes next.

Hope Hicks To Leave as WH Communications Director

Hope Hicks, the White House communications director and one of President Trump’s longest-serving advisers, said Wednesday that she plans to leave the White House in the coming weeks.

Ms. Hicks, 29, a former model who joined Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign without any experience in politics, became known as one of the few aides who understood his personality and style and could challenge the president to change his views.


----

The above made me wonder if part of her decision to announce she's leaving today is the President's little hissy fit on Twitter about Sessions today.

That makes two Communications staffers announcing they're leaving in two days. The other one is Kushner's spokesperson Josh Raffel who announced he's leaving yesterday.

Barf. I guess it does speak to his base though.

as i've understood it, the communications director is supposed to oversee everything going out to the media/public. the press secretary, social media and surrogates are all supposed to be coordinated under the communications director.

who knows how much of that is actual reality in this administration since hicks had zero experience for the job.

LOL - "no Hope." Cute.


Thanks. This is interesting because it was my impression that she hadn't done anything so very bad - although she clearly was under-qualified (as are most Trump people).

Forgot another person who suddenly decided to leave this week -- Joseph Yun, the top US State Department diplomat dedicated to North Korea, also quit yesterday.

Loss of key diplomat revives concerns about Trump's North Korea strategy

Anyone want to venture a guess on who leaves next?

I can't imagine who would be offering her employment of any kind, that was legal and respectable. She's tossed her credibility onto the trash, by being Trump's shill all this time. Maybe she could write a book and tell more lies.

I'm looking forward to the time when even Trump's family members abandon ship.

If she's been overseeing the President's twitter finger, she's been doing an amazing job! LOL!
