Katie Zacharia Out As Trump Press Secretary After Days on the Job

President Donald Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, is reportedly out of a job. Fox News’s Aishah Hasnie reported, “A senior White House official tells @pdoocy Katie ZACHARIA is “transitioning out” of the press secretary position.”

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

It’s unfortunate, but his second term depends on good midterm results.
If anyone becomes the main message, they have to go.

Why?? the last two women President Trump had as press secretary’s were fantastic...in fact they were head and shoulders above Sean Spicer who was a bit of a buffoon....

And, made the black cabbage patch kid and cringy Ginger look even worse than they were, which was quite a feat.

If she were competent, I think that the lawyer thing wouldn’t be a factor.

By the way, as regards the lawyer thing, she didn’t just say that she was a lawyer (perhaps an honest error,) she said repeatedly that she PRACTICED CORPORATE LAW.

Whoever is hired needs to have the tenacious fighting veracity of a Honey Badger or Wolverine.

I didn’t like her voice

[willk]

I want Mark Levin as Press Secretary.

And she never handed ANY business card if she was traveling to an office in a state where she was not licensed.

Usual way to handle that is wither to put "licensed in xx and yy" or "licensed in xx and yy, not licensed in [state where office is located]. Or, in his case, just put his corporate title on the card (probably either General Counsel, or Secretary and General Counsel).

Not surprised that she is gone.

So you think thats all he was doing? PUTZ

I'm not a lawyer, but that's what I do on my business cards. In my profession, some states are more strict than others in this regard.

That company was headquartered in a state that was apparently very anal about such things.

[proust]

I don’t think looks are the determining factor to be a Trump press secretary. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was in the role for a substantial amount of time.

[Alberta's Child]

Trump just went ON RECORD on Newsmax saying that he just wanted her to be happy. He felt bad that she was getting a raw deal from the usual suspects in the media. He did not ask her to resign or anything.

TRANSLATION: He wanted her gone, but he wanted it to be on her terms.

[Miami Rebel]

I think his position on Ukraine is a dealbreaker.

This is turning into a circus. After getting shot in the head, standing up and yelling “fight, fight”, after mounting the greatest political comeback of all time, after winning the popular vote as a Republican for the first time this century, after securing a Republican House, Senate and Supreme Court, after gaining the support of the tech bros, after vanquishing the dinosaur media....he was poised to be the most powerful and successful leader in history. He could potentially have named himself emperor, fixed the country and ruled for a decade. I guess fighting wars for other countries and covering up for Mossad agents was more important.

This thread including the above post is turning into a circus.

Do normal people not post anymore.

[FreeReign]

May I suggest hiring a male this time?

I would suggest somebody like Karoline Leavitt.

“Turning into”?

This has become a laughable clown show.

First, who the hell cares about press secretary ANYWAY. It’s a stupid job nobody but the LSM cares about.

But moreover? This isn’t some stupid reality TV gameshow. I’m well beyond tired of this stupid “Govertainment” crap.

Here’s an idea: Rather than stupid “dank memes” and govertainment, how about just boring conservative competence?

This silly stupidity can’t end soon enough. How wonderful that - now less than 3 weeks before election day - we get another “treat” to suck up more oxygen.

The Buck Stops ANYWHERE ELSE

[PerConPat]

Maybe offer Roseanne Barr a shot at the post...She might take it...

[dfwgator]

Or Dave Chappelle, as his “Black Bush” character...
