Hope Hicks' family, friends say she'll need therapy after she leaves Trump

[RandySF]

Family and friends of Hope Hicks believe the White House communications director will have to seek professional counseling after she leaves her job in the administration, according to a report published Thursday.

"Following the Trump victory and her [Hope Hicks] move into the White House, her friends and intimates talked with great concern about what kind of therapies and recuperation she would need after her tenure was finally over," an excerpt from Michael Wolff's forthcoming book "Fire and Fury" stated, as reprinted in GQ.

Hicks, 29, was the first person President Trump's campaign hired in 2015. She had worked for Matthew Hiltzik's New York-based public relations firm before jumping to Ivanka Trump's fashion brand, where the eldest Trump daughter recommended Hicks for her father's campaign.

"As the campaign progressed, moving from novelty project to political factor to juggernaut, Hicks’ family increasingly, and incredulously, viewed her as if having been taken captive," Wolff wrote.

Despite having worked directly for Trump over the past two and a half years, the now-president has had moments of intense rage with her performance.

"On more than one occasion, after a day – one of the countless days – of particularly bad notices, the president greeted her, affectionately, with 'You must be the world’s worst PR person,'" the same excerpt stated.

1. He an an abusive person and anybody who works for him knows what he's like to

work for. I have less than zero sympathy for this woman.

[SharonClark]

24. Agree. And it is just weird her family and friends talk like that about her mental health.

[Hugin]

2. Too late, pumpkin.

No mental health coverage under Trumpcare.

3. She had to steam his clothes while he was wearing them too

President Donald Trump reportedly made Hope Hicks, now his communications director, steam his pants while he was still wearing them and scolded her when she forgot the wrinkle-erasing device.

Hicks, who worked as his press secretary at the time, was in charge of making sure Trump’s pants and jacket were sharp when they flew on his private plane, according to excerpts in a Washington Post review of the new tell-all book by former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, Let Trump Be Trump.

According to Lewandowski, Trump would shout out for Hicks to grab the steamer, which he apparently called "the machine," and she would then get to work while his clothes were still on him.


"Get the machine!” Trump would shout, according to the book. "And Hope would take out the steamer and start steaming Mr. Trump's suit, while he was wearing it! She'd steam the jacket first and then sit in a chair in front of him and steam his pants."

6. Steam his pants.

I bet.

[3catwoman3]

15. Too bad she didn't...

...scald his balls.

IIRC, the instructions that come with irons and steamers caution against using them on the clothes you are actually wearing because you can burn the hell out of yourself. I dropped a steamer nozzle once, and it grazed my arm as it fell, taking the skin clean off in a nanosecond.

[underpants]

16. Instructions? ____ yeah

[Bob Loblaw]

21. Makes perfect sense

If you're the press secretary, you press the guy's suit.

[underpants]

25. Did you catch the WH press conference today?

Trump appeared on screens on either side of Sarah Huck. He was IN the White House maybe 150 feet away. He delivered his bit about how great everything is.and they used two cameras - one straight forward and one at a side angle. He never turned to the second camera but all I could think was "Oh God! He's going to do the Bob Loblaw commercial thing!"

[Docreed2003]

35. Lmao....had totally forgotten that Arrested Development bit

[Bob Loblaw]

36. Missed it

I just can't make myself watch her. Those performances almost literally nauseate me.

[Leghorn21]

4. Hope needs therapy? Who the fuck doesnt need therapy, here in January of 2018?

Puhleeze

[mythology]

5. This. She chose to work for him.

The majority of voters rejected him. Free therapy should be provided.

[LenaBaby61]

18. It's been rumored that Hicks and her Mother's ...

Relationship grew distant, because her Mom "allegedly" told her to NOT go work for tRump. Her mother it's said doesn't like nor trust fatso. She should have listened to her Mother. But then again, it's also "rumored" that Hicks has a thing for and is "WITH" fatso.

Being "WITH" nasty fatso is some nasty stuff. Hicks WILL need some therapy after Illegitimate's fake presidency is done. Pressing his pants with him WEARING them? The smell

Look at this vile, wet, smelly-looking, FAT POS



Big, fat old sloppy pig.

[smirkymonkey]

31. Ugh! He's so repulsive. I don't know how anyone can stand being around him.

There is no amount of money that would get me to be in that man's presence for more than a second.

[politicaljunkie41910]

33. How gross is that fake tan line? That guard is doing all he can to keep from laughing out loud.

Also, that must be the bald spot Ivanka jokes about in the book. I wonder how much time he spends prepping in the morning to get that combover JUST RIGHT. He's so disgusting, and yes, we're all going to need Therapy when this administration is finally gone.

[OnDoutside]

38. I wish MSM would use these sort of photos more often.

[Buns_of_Fire]

39. I will make no comment about his mammoth ass or visible panty line.

I'll let Cher do it.

[CottonBear]

46. Cher is so freaking awesome! She's intelligent & sharp as a tack.

Have you ever heard her call into CSPAN Washington Journall? She is so smart and knowledgeable. She has also spent many hours visiting wounded soldiers in hospital.

[mercuryblues]

50. My brother swears he wears a girdle

It makes sense, giving his appearance of gaining a lot of weight in the past year.

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. They surely have therapists in prisons, right?

She can have regular appointments, all paid by the taxpayers.

[Ilsa]

14. Yeah, "group therapy."

And they can learn new skills, like steaming clothes or gay wedding cake decorating, since they have so much interest in these things.

[PragmaticDem]

8. There really is a price to selling your soul.

[WhiteTara]

9. I doubt Mueller will have pity on her

and might indict her too for her part in the treason.

[chowder66]

10. She's got connections. If she stays, she's part of the problem she needs therapy for. nt

[Cha]

11. Hicks to trump.. "How the

the hell do you PR a cornered rabid rat?"

[OliverQ]

12. She had an affair with Lewandowski.

She's a horrible person too. She's known Trump a long time and knew what he's like. No sympathy.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Cry me a river.

No one was holding her against her will. The door swings outward, too.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Amen. Can't believe I have never

seen your DU name before and you have 35k posts !! Like the way you think !

[procon]

17. A Remedial Ethics course would help her immensely. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Who cares about her fate. She is willingly onboard. Fuck her

[ProfessorGAC]

44. And, She Is Still There

So, it's terrible, and she will need therapy and "it" calls her a "piece of tail" yet she still works there.

I'm in total agreement

[C_U_L8R]

22. That and antibiotics.

[sarcasmo]

23. 170 grand a year, bribed over captured.

[TheOther95Percent]

26. Feh.

To begin with, you have to consider what personality types would be attracted to working for Trump. My guess is she's just as twisted as her boss and needed therapy before she signed up to work for a malignant narcissist.

[Laffy Kat]

32. This

Sorry. I stole your point when I posted below before I read your reply.

[TheOther95Percent]

34. No Problem.

Great minds.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

45. Right On! nt

[NCjack]

27. That would be a preexisting condition.

[onecaliberal]

28. Im sorry but she knew he abused women. The fact that she chose to stay for so long

Makes it difficult for me to feel sorry for her. She was clearly okay with him doing
it to other women.

[rainin]

29. I have zero sympathy for any of them.

If they had an ounce of integrity, they would have cared about the country, not themselves or Trump. I have genuinely wondered at times if I will live through this. The stress is crippling. F*ck all of them. I hope everyone of them dies in prison.

[Laffy Kat]

30. "Held captive" my ass.

She is a twenty-nine year-old woman who knew exactly who she was working for and the implications of her support. It is sexist to imply she got swept up in it all. She needed therapy BEFORE she went to work for him, anyone would.

[OnDoutside]

37. She'll have plenty of time to recover, in prison, if she lies to Mueller.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

40. She can take a number. The whole damn country is gonna need therapy.

n/t

[dembotoz]

41. Therapy to avoid jail? Works for others

[LuckyCharms]

42. Too bad. The whole fucking country will need therapy by the time this is over. n/t

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

43. How about a really good lawyer instead? nt

[GusBob]

47. The concept of the Spandau Prison comes to mind

Rot in it, lady

[HAB911]

48. LOL

[Mc Mike]

49. She'll need de-programming. Or decades of psychoanalysis, at the very least.

A terrible toll is being taken on these selfless repug patriots.

[IluvPitties]

51. She's not a victim

she is a corrupt, willing participant.

[democratisphere]

52. All members of the drumpf administration made their conscious decision to support this

illegitimate so-called president. They made choices and now they can live with the consequences. No sympathy or empathy for this crew.

[dalton99a]

53. Hope she won't be carrying a traitor's child
