Trump Won't Fire Sean Spicer Because He Gets 'Great Ratings'

Yes, never mind that Spicer's ratings are up because people can't help watching a trainwreck, even though they know it's wrong to look. Or that Melissa McCarthy's portrayal of him on SNL prompted people who never watch a presidential press conference (correctly thinking them usually boring) tuned into Spicer, just to laugh. But hey, ratings are up, and that's all Dump knows or cares about.

Reality TV. Dump thinks the presidency is reality TV.
