(14,970 posts)Being a press secretary gets in the way of being a day drunk. Too many reporters pestering her. Now she can drink in peace.

(1,178 posts)Just goes to show how disorganized this administration is. I've never seen so many changes in a president's first term, whether it's high-level positions in the White House, or high-level positions out of it.

(101,412 posts)From April 1st:
Hicks declined to comment. But Gidley, who is often in meetings with her and Trump, said: No one has to give President Trump advice about being presidentialhe is just a natural-born leaderand in this time of crisis, the country clearly sees the president is focused on the safety and security of the American people and always has their backs.
In many ways Hicks fills the role she unofficially occupied during her first West Wing tour: Trump whisperer. She is shaping the White Houses messaging, which puts the current communications director, Stephanie Grisham, out of the loop. For weeks, according to sources, Kushner has been looking to sideline Grisham but has been unable to displace her because Grisham remains close to Melania Trump, whom Grisham did communications for when she worked in the East Wing. Jared doesnt tell Grisham what hes working on. At this point Stephanie has just given up, a person close to Grisham said. That is blatantly false and a sick attempt by someone to stoke division where there is none" Gidley said. "Steph and Jared have been friends since the campaign and have always worked very well together.

(Wow, deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley is a slimeball of the first order, isn't he?)

(35,455 posts)He's probably upset with Grisham because he's not getting the positive press that he thinks that he deserves. For Trump, it's all about the narrative and nothing else.
If the reporters are not fawning at his feet, then the press secretary must not be doing the job.
