Hopefully, more of the cult get their moment of clarity and realize that Trump would absolutely leave them to die any chance he got.
“Morituri te salutamus”
We who are about to die salute you." Roman gladiators in the combat arena. IOW it’s an honor to die for you, my Emperor.
She did a remarkable job of hiding her “stress”. It seemed like she was enjoying every minute spent standing up there lying through her teeth.
Interesting that Harp reportedly got to ride in the “safe” plane. One imagines that if Leavitt writes a book about her White House experiences, Harp would be a special target.
She carries the diaper bag and this is definitely a situation where Trump would have been shitting himself more than usual.
Everybody thinks they’re the exception with this guy. I am also looking forward to the inevitable tell-all books. Well, I’m not going to buy them but I’ll read excerpts.
This 
Blondie Baghdad Bob loved her job and loved shutting down the lying librul media. No sympathy from me for the mouthpiece of the devil.
Yeah she’ll head for Fox and continue to happily poison the mind of America.
Maybe I’ll just ask Grok or Claude to give me a quick book report.
One got the impression that she really liked being rude and condescending to the reporters. She’ll be replaced by someone as amoral and who enjoys lying through her teeth and very likely another MILF.
Of course. People (sociopaths) who have no consequences feel free to reveal their true selves. Her actions only drew praise from her sociopathic boss, so why not keep doing it.
I wonder who is going to be the next Mouth Of Sauron? They’ll need to find someone of Númenórean descent, whose original name has been forgotten even by himself.
A key requirement for any high-profile public-facing position like that is to look like you’re enjoying it even if you’re not. Baghdad Blondie was definitely a True Believer, no doubt about that, but she must have hated the media for constantly pointing out that her boss was an ignorant bum lacking either class or intelligence and a habitual liar who was constantly contradicting himself. Hating the media has got to be stressful when your actual job is dealing with them every day. Normal press secretaries working for normal presidents mostly have to answer factual questions and try to put a positive spin on things. They don’t work for a deranged lunatic.
BBC has an article.
They throw out some potential names.
- Alina Habba
- Katie Miller
- Anna Kelly
- Sage Steele
- Steven Cheung
- Tricia McLaughlin
- Scott Jennings
Habba makes sense to me, as she has somewhat served in that role already, in a narrow sense; she was Trump’s “lawyer”, but her primary role has been to show up on TV and act as a mouthpiece for him. On the other hand, she is a incompetent idiot and a source of embarrassment for the administration. On the other other hand, being incompetent is not much of a disqualifier for this administration, and it seems mostly immune to embarrassment, so she still seems like a very likely pick.
Katie Miller is Steven Miller’s wife. Yes, she is married to Temu Voldemort. So, being in proximity to creepy men must give her a sense of comfort. She is a conservative influencer and actually seems more competent than Habba, but again, I don’t know that the administration cares about that.
Anna Kelly is the current deputy press secretary, so she’s already somewhat in the role, she is only 29 years old, and is a former beauty pageant contestant (having previously won “Miss State Fair of Virginia” and “Miss Madison” in Wisconsin). She also has a Master’s Degree in Political Management. She seems like another very likely pick to me.
Sage Steele is a former TV anchor and sportscaster, campaigned for Trump in the last election, and is a prominent conservative media figure. But she’s a Black woman in her 50s, and I doubt Trump would be interested.
Steven Cheung looks like Kim Jong Un cosplaying as Humpty Dumpty, so he doesn’t have the shallow traits that Trump looks for, but he’s a bootlicker who Trump trusts and he does not shy away from attacking people, so I could actually see Trump putting him in as press secretary to go after reporters that Trump doesn’t like.
Tricia McLaughlin is a young (just a couple of years older than Anna Kelly) superficially attractive blonde woman with a lot of experience acting as a mouthpiece for Trump on TV and has served going all the way back to the previous administration, so she seems very likely.
Scott Jennings is a CNN contributor and one of those people that was originally a Trump critic but turned into an ass-kisser (think Lindsay Graham). Trump tends to love people like that for some reason. The Daily Beast has actually named him as the frontrunner.
I’m not constitutionally inclined to make fun of somebody’s appearance, so I won’t.
But – as I believe I did in another thread …
[And the irony of that little Latin gem is the possibility that Cheung might – in a profoundly public way – speak for others]
After she spends some time over there doing penance, and God forbid, DJT is still in office, she’ll be in line for a Cabinet position. The Circle of Life.
I was familiar with the name as one of the Orange Peril’s bootlickers, but had not previously seen an image.
I’m not inclined to make fun of somebody’s appearance, either, but I can quote objective numbers:
Amount of visible neck (inches): 0
Number of chins: 15
Daily consumption of pork-fried rice: 4.7 metric tons (estimated)
For people not inclined to make fun of someone’s appearance, there still seems to be plenty of exactly that. Let’s be better.
I think you’ve hit on the key qualifications that Trump looks for.
Whoever is picked must also smile frequently, or maybe all the time. Trump hates female reporters who don’t smile (he’s harped on this repeatedly), especially when they ask tough questions. He’d also want a flack who smiles a lot and shows pretty, even teeth while lying through them.
I honestly don’t care what he looks like. The only reason I mentioned it originally is because it’s very clear that Trump cares what his spokespeople look like.
Let’s BE BEST!
Agreed.
As so many have said, Trump has a tendency to run his admin as if it were a reality TV series, and Susie Wiles has something of a reputation as the producer/director of that series.
There does seem to be a tendency for Trump to ‘cast’ more than ‘staff’ high-level positions. It’s harder for me to imagine Cheung in the Press Secretary position than it would be to have him somewhere high up in DHS, like Homan or Bovino have been/are.
I don’t care. Do U? If Steven the Hutt ends up being press secretary, it would be in service of a president that routinely insults the physical appearance of people he doesn’t like. If he can’t take the heat, don’t take the job.
