Trump furious with White House communications staff response to Woodward book: ‘Bring back Hope Hicks’

09 Sep 2018 at 08:35 ET

.........................................

Addressing the steady drip-drip-drip of excerpts from Woodward’s book “Fear,” CNN host Victor Blackwell said that Trump is not happy with former Fox exec Shine, who he feels has not been as effective as former Trump confidante Hope Hicks.


“In Woodward’s tape recordings from the president last month, Trump basically calls up saying, ‘I wished we could have talked, why didn’t you call him?'” CNN regular Brian Stelter told the host. “Woodward catches him in a couple of contradictions saying, ‘I tried six different ways to go ahold of you and I was turned down, I was buffed.’ It might have been in the White House’s best interests to give him an interview and it sounds like Trump regretted not having a chance to talk to him.”

“The reporting is President Trump is disappointed with Bill Shine and the way the White House has responded to this new book,” Blackwell added. “A source tells us he [Trump] shouted out ‘Bring back Hope Hicks!’ Apparently, he preferred her response to [“Fire and Fury” author] Michael Wolfe.”

“The way you respond to Michael Wolfe is not the same way to respond to Bob Woodward, who I think has written books about nine presidents now,” Stelter laughed. “He has an enormous amount of credibility. When the president calls him an idiot and suggests he made up sources, that actually says more about the president than Woodward.”..................................

I thought that you only hired the 'best' people...obviously you don't.

Why don't open the windows and listen to us outside? Then you won't need a so called communications director/propaganda director.

Unfortunately they'll find the work of spewing out crap and nonsense thoroughly disgusting and won't want to work for you...who would? How many communications/propaganda directors have you had so far?

that Hicks' parents hired her legal counsel, and they all told her to put as much distance between herself and anything Dump as possible. I was surprised when I saw her sneaking onto AF1 for that rally a few weeks ago, but it seems to have been a one and done. Evidently it made the old man desire her company again, it seems. I doubt if it happens tho. The girl is not yet 30. She surely isn't going to give up her entire future in order to fluff this old man. I'm guessing she listens to her lawyers.

I thought she had been deprogrammed by her parents too but just the fact that she showed up on AF1 shows that she's still into what ever freaky mind control he puts on people. There is no logical reason someone with her brains and youth should be anywhere near this disaster but that's exactly what she keeps doing. I feel bad for her and worse for her parents but I think she's beyond help.
