Trump White House Is Reportedly Already Talking About Baghdad Sean's Replacement

A White House source tells Axios that despite only days on the job, Donald Trump‘s senior staff is already looking for someone to replace press secretary Sean Spicer.

Politico Playbook alum Mike Allen writes, “This West Wing is a tough neighborhood. Even AFTER Sean Spicer’s successful get-back-on-the-horse presser yesterday, I’m told that a top White House official was discussing his possible replacement. On Day 4!”

He continues, reporting that Trump himself is displeased with Spicer for reasons completely divorced from his argumentative skills. “Unfortunately for Spicer, Trump is obsessed with his press secretary’s performance art. Our Jonathan Swan hears that Trump hasn’t been impressed with how Spicer dresses, once asking an aide: ‘Doesn’t the guy own a dark suit?'”

The Washington Post likewise reports this morning that Trump never wanted Spicer to begin with. “He did not see Spicer as particularly telegenic and preferred a woman for the position,” they write. The Post also recounts that the Trump White House was not happy with Spicer’s choice of suit.

That's a prett tight inner circle and the way Trump hates the press in does have the odor of a set-up.

Naw they're not that smart.

Sean Spicer probably deserves this, but there's a slight chance he doesn't.

Who could be the press secretary for this lying liar?

Kayleigh McEnany, Scottie Nell Hughs, Jeffrey Lord, Katrina Pierson, and Anne Coultergeist. Maybe Sean Hannity would love the job?

Completely, utterly demolished beyond salvation. I'm talking "do you want fries with that?" level of over. Trump's vengeful enough, it's a real possibility.

I hope the next one has the same fate, and the next and the next, etc.

I, also, wish a ulcers, insomnia, explosive diarrhea and a perpetual migraine on anyone willing to take the job of Trumps Secretary of Propaganda.

Not that you ever would, except maybe as a mole. That place must be more hateful and dangerous than Stalin's regime. Backstabbing galore, career climbers eager to stab you in the back, vicious gossip, malicious tricks.

Why do you think he hires so many women? Because he doesn't have to pay them as much.

He's not tall enough for his head to block out the "hite" in White so it doesn't say W House
on the sign behind him.
