WASHiNGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s new spokeswoman, Kayleigh McEnany, is to face reporters for the first time in the White House Briefing Room on Friday, something her predecessor never did during a nine-month stint as press secretary.

During past administrations, a White House press secretary holding a formal briefing would hardly be news, but it’s an oddity in the current administration, in which the media-obsessed Trump sees himself as his best spokesman, communications director and strategist.

Asked on Thursday if she was going to be taking the podium soon, McEnany quipped: “Never say never.” Later, White House social media director Dan Scavino tweeted that McEnany, Trump’s fourth press secretary, would take the podium Friday afternoon.

Trump shook up his communications team in early April. Stephanie Grisham, who had held the titles of press secretary and White House communications director since last June, was removed after never holding a formal press briefing. She rejoined the first lady’s office in a new role as Melania Trump’s chief of staff.

1. I give her 5 minutes at best. I think she'll fold like a wet paper towel.

She may present well but the audience isn't there to buy a vowel.

2. She'll lie in the first minutes.

3. Oh, this will be rich! She can't go 3 minutes w/o knocking Democrats!

Just watch if you dare. She'll defend Trumpyboy for sure on all counts but watch for the 'tell' when she goes after Cuomo, President Obama, heck even Hillary Clinton. Ah, but today is reserved I'm sure for blasting Joe Biden on everything from China, Reade, obsolete test kits, ad infinitum! You just know Trump and his camp followers have had days and days to prepare her remarks as she's never had an original thought in her 29 or so years.

I don't think though she has the balls to withstand sharp questioning from the reporters (let's now hope they befuddle her blonde brain!). She'll likely come off as a younger, prettier Kellyskank Spinway but with all the same evil.

Sorry. It needs to be said.

6. I can hardly wait to hear from MAGATninny.

Kelyane Jr will probably dance on the puppet strings very nicely.

7. oh goodie GOODIE!!

I will not watch her on tv, but I hope Hal Sparks roasts her "press conference". Fingers crossed she gets frustratated with questions, and perhaps we get to see her spiral into being shrill as she tends to do.

10. Kayleigh McEnany is no Miss Teen South Carolina

She went to Georgetown, Oxford, and Harvard Law. She has admitted that by being pretty
and spouting right wing crap she makes a lot of money. She is an act.

14. Isn't this part of her job? And yet, it makes news.

A Trump official doing what we pay her for. Oh, and - it will be another shitshow of lies.
