Per usual, there's all kinds of leaks about a White House "shakeup," with some aides now saying a big house cleaning wouldn't look so good following the recent turmoil and Donald Trump's big overseas trip.
But one person who does look uniquely vulnerable is the jittery guy who kicked off his press briefing career on Jan. 23 with a diatribe directed at the very people charged with relentlessly covering one of the most scandal-ridden White Houses in modern politics. One way or the other, Sean Spicer’s role will almost certainly be scaled back, writes Politico:
The press secretary, who has turned into a household name over the past five months and garnered sky-high television ratings for his daily press briefings, has also drawn the ire of the president. He is no longer expected to do a daily, on-camera briefing after Trump’s foreign trip, which begins Friday, the officials said.
The briefings have become one of the most dreaded parts of the president’s day, and Trump has told allies and aides he doesn't want Spicer, who has developed a belligerent persona from behind the lectern, publicly defending and explaining the message anymore, officials added.
Plagued by crises that are engulfing his administration, Trump, in recent weeks, has been increasingly pointing his finger at the communications department to explain the administration’s failings.
Because Trump's achievements have been “tremendous” and his Twitter messaging has been pitch perfect. If only the comms folks weren't constantly fumbling all the “winning.”
To be sure, Spicey's no crackerjack at the podium, but Trump’s messaging problem emanates from the raging dumpster fire that is Donald Trump.
There's just no putting lipstick on that pig, Spicey or not. But perhaps the dumpster fire himself can take a whack at it.
