When Saturday Night Live began mocking Trump and his spokesman Sean Spicer, Trump was reportedly upset Sean Spicer was played by Melissa McCarthy on Saturday Night Live. (A woman for God’s sake!) After only four months as the mockable mouthpiece for the worst president in history, Trump is reportedly on the verge of demoting Sean Spicer:
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, the officials said.
Apparently watching Spicer try to defend Trump’s own moronic Twitter statements enrages Trump daily:
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 podium, 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. But that frustration isn’t new — in February, during an interview with “Fox & Friends,” Trump gave himself an A+ for effort and a low grade for communicating.
Yes, because this disaster of an administration all Sean Spicer’s fault, right? How many people can Trump fire or demote before he accepts blame himself? Either way, if you listened to Sean Spicer’s last press briefing (there was only audio, no video), he clearly sounded like a defeated man. And how could you blame him? Donald Trump’s outrageous, inaccurate, dangerous actions have had Spicer actually hiding in bushes to avoid the press on the grounds of the White House. One can only imagine he’ll take this demotion as an opportunity to run like hell from the White House. Why would he stick around?
