Flexibility is much admired by TrumpCo. So long as it does not conflict with loyalty. ---

He’ll finally be able to get a decent night’s sleep. Maintaining Trump’s litterbox has to be an ethically (and physically) exhausting job. ---

I saw “breaking news” announcements that claimed Scaramucci was the replacement and I saw “breaking news” announcements that claimed Huckabee Sanders was the replacement. Scaramucci is the new Communications Director. Spicer was the Press Secretary. Two different jobs. Spicer actually resigned BECAUSE Trump hired Scaramucci as CD. ---

…just watched Scaramucci’s first press conference. That man is _smooth_. He’s no Sean Spicer. Much more dangerous. He is so good he very nearly won me over. ---

I had an even better idea. Melissa plays Spicer. And Spicer plays a journalist in the audience giving her a hard time. Oh my god, that’d be funny. ---

You are probably correct but I gotta say, he sure was sporting an amazing flip in the front today. I doubt he does his hair that fancy unless there are cameras around.
