WASHINGTON — Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, resigned on Friday morning, telling President Trump he vehemently disagreed with the appointment of the New York financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.

Scaramucci is a good pick. He hit back at CNN and 3 execs lost their jobs with Mueller expanding the scope of the investigation, the stakes are high. Trump needs street fighters to take on those who are trying to bring him down.

Spicer was a supporter of the president, so far as I could tell.

I never have thought he was very good in front of the camera.

I suppose I’d say he is about a B- or a C+ press secretary.

That’s not great praise, but it isn’t failing either.

I agree. Spicer seems like a pleasant guy but average at best on camera. Couldn’t dish out the hurt on the press when needed, which was always.

[caww]

He's an Economics/Financial expert.... they are NECESSARILY great communicators! I expect more will move as said.

[P.O.E.]

LOL!

[caww]

Spicer had difficulty carrying the ‘message’....too many times he was back peddling with what the rest of Trumps team was saying or they were having to cover for his misssteps.....

[sargon]

Way to much turmoil in this administration, this has been a horrible week for Trump. Blasting Sessions was really stupid and now this.

LOL! How naive of you to think that. Precisely the opposite is true. This has been a great week for President Trump. He's taking charge and cleaning house. The President has the confidence of conviction.

You need to stop adopting the narratives of the Propaganda Media and Swamp.

Expect Special Counsel Robert Mueller to be fired soon. Then you can really get hysterical with your hand-wringing...

[Daffynition]

....and took his marbles home. [I liked the guy a lot.]

This is interesting: Mike Cernovich 🇺🇸‏Verified account @Cernovich__________________________________________Scoop - Reince Priebus is leaning on WaPo and Politico to hit Scaramucci hard. Up all night seeding stories. Expect hit pieces in a.m.

[little jeremiah]

The Daily Caller article about this uses the NYT as its sources, and the NYT source about the various peoples’ “feelings” is an “White House insider” who is not named.

[little jeremiah]

You really, really do not get Trump, do you.

He operates right out of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.

[Rebelbase]

LOL! I was looking for this reply, didn’t take long.

This worries me____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mike Cernovich 🇺🇸‏Verified account @Cernovich 27m27 minutes ago Bannon opposed the @Scaramucci move. Thinks he'll be focused on Don Jr / Ivanka rather than Administration. I disagree w/Bannon on this.

[little jeremiah]

Spattiness reported by the NYT from a White House insider who is not named.

[TangledUpInBlue]

They won’t be happy until Ivanka is Chief of Staff, Don Jr. Communications Director and his other son is Press Secretary.

I’m with those that say this isn’t good. Just a gut feeling. How long before Sessions “resigns” or is fired?

3......2..............1......

[txhurl]

Well, it’s been 6mos and it is Friday afternoon, when business does the most firing. I have a bottle of Veuvot Clicque if the ‘right’ ones get the heave-ho :)

[little jeremiah]

If you think Sessions is hostile to the President you ain’t seeing clearly at all.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

There's no evidence that Trump "sees Session as the enemy"

Maybe he doesn't. Time will tell. But in the meantime perhaps you need to address that argument to #28, not to me.

[little jeremiah]

Bullseye.

[Mears]

Gorka?

Nope,his area of expertise is needed just where it is.

Maybe that *was* Priebus. Send his ass back to WI.
