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 Trump’s side since the early days of the campaign and is one of his most trusted staffers. She has been serving on the press team in more of a behind-the-scenes role as the director of strategic communications.

That’s a big job for someone so young. But, knowing that The General approved of it, she must be fit for the job.

Yes, another former lacrosse player!

Sorry, but the sport is pretty important to me!

From he Wikipedia:

“Hicks was criticized by some with regard to a statement she issued on May 29, 2017, regarding President Trump’s character and personality. The statement, ridiculed by Washington Post reporter Callum Borchers as approaching parody comparable to Saturday Night Live, read:

President Trump has a magnetic personality and exudes positive energy, which is infectious to those around him. He has an unparalleled ability to communicate with people .... He has built great relationships throughout his life and treats everyone with respect. He is brilliant with a great sense of humor … and an amazing ability to make people feel special and aspire to be more than even they thought possible.”

***

Sounds good to me! If the WP dislikes her she should be great!

Come on communication team, let’s get on offense!

We need creative, unrelenting advancement. If Hicks can provide it, I’m all for her.

From the little I’ve seen of her, I am impressed. She won’t hog the limelight as Scaramucci did. She must be extremely competent, or she wouldn’t have worked for DJT for so long. He trusts her and believes she’ll be loyal.

I prefer the use of a 101-key board, so I’ve placed my laptop at about three feet away—then enlarge the screen—A LOT! So...I had to scroll down through a “determined-looking” photo of her, expecting to see a two-handed Crusades-Templar sword instead of a cellphone!
