Hope Hicks replacing Mooch should do wonders for popcorn sales

I looked up her bio and it said she majored in English and graduated in 2010, from Southern Methodist University. and started working for Ivanka, in public relations, in 2012. Ok. Admittedly I am not all that familiar with what a Director of Communications actually does, but that just seems slim experience for the job.

And, considering the rumors swirling around about her and the Orange Fuhrer,

Anyway, from the NYT:

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s longtime aide Hope Hicks will serve as the interim White House director of communications and will help the president find a permanent person for the job, according to a senior administration official.

However temporary it is, it was the latest reshuffling in the White House and comes at a time when the president’s remarks on white supremacists were drawing fire from Democrats and Republicans. The role of communications director is to set a clear and direct message coming from the White House each day.

It is almost like his goal is to outrage as many people, as possible, so that he can manufacture an exit, for himself. One that will TOTALLY not be his fault, of course.

and got flustered and became argumentative pretty quickly just fielding a few questions. Without a strong background in public speaking, she's going to blow up and repeat the same mistakes that Spicer did.
