http://amp.dailycaller.com/2017/08/16/exclusive-hope-hicks-to-be-named-white-house-comms-director/Hope Hicks will be named the new White House communications director, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
President Trump has offered the job to Hicks and she has accepted the position, according to a White House insider. Hicks has been close by Trumps side since the early days of the campaign and is one of his most trusted staffers.
The communications position has been open since President Trump ditched Anthony Scaramucci just ten days after the Mooch took over the position from former White House press secretary Sean Spicer. Scaramuccis firing was triggered by Trumps decision to bring on Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly as his new chief of staff in July.

I'm guessing the criteria was: who could keep a straight face during today's Press Conference?

And if she is, as rumored, his girlfriend, this couldn't be more convenient for him.
Pathetic and laughable as it is in the real world outside Trump's bubble.
