“I was demoralized, absolutely demoralized,” Brotman told BuzzFeed News on Sunday, a few days after finding out that he would no longer be the “president’s announcer.”

“I’ve been doing this for 60 years and for somebody to take over the announcing duties from me, I was devastated,” he said.

“I was expecting a pat on the back. Instead, I got a kick in the butt!”

He also says he doesn't know if he is accepting the "prime seat" at the inauguration.
