Can't imagine anyone is lining up to be the new press secretary. Sounds like a nightmare of a job.

I mean, it's been pretty obvious that Huckabee Sanders has been gunning for Spicer's position for a while now, and Trump thinks she's better at press conferences than Spicer is, so I think we already know who's taking over the position.

 

[kevin1025]

Anyone know why he has beef with this person?

I think it's because the guy isn't a good mouthpiece, just another financier friend of Trump that he supposedly liked on television.

 

[shamanick]

hahahaha oh man too good

I doubt Spicer will be able to release a book before the Trump era is done due to NDAs. Then again nothing matters anymore

 

[Complex Shadow]

See ya, Spicey. Who next.

Will miss seeing this gift.
😔

 

[Dazzler]

Trump wants to appoint a banker as his communications director? wtf

Like giving a doctor a job as a lawyer

 

[DrFunk]

In all seriousness, dude was probably drinking a handle of whiskey every night. You're free Spicey

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Normally, this would bug me. Since they don't do the briefings on camera anymore, I don't care. The entertainment value was lost when the cameras were shut off.

 

[Keasar]

He leaves behind a powerful legacy.

We sure he has really resigned or did he just get lost in the bushes again?

 

[BasicMath]

You will be missed, Spicey.

Favorite moments have to be
-"Stop shaking your head"
-"If the President puts Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that's a Russia connection."

 

[The Technomancer]

Buh bye Spicer, don't let the door hit your ass

 

[Chittagong]

Spicey :-(

The most entertaining Trump official is gone

 

[rec0ded1]

How do people feel sorry for him? Dude willingly spread bullshit for a shot at getting a Payday/being in the inner circle. I'll miss the laughs but fuck him.

 

[jayu26]

Good for him. I mean this can only be good for his sanity.

 

[Smellycat]

nooooo

No more SNL spoofs

Or at least one more I guess

 

[TheCochese]

If you abolish the press, you don't need a Press Secretary.

[Toxi]

Trump as Aku does make a lot of sense if you think about it.

Trump even gets in on the Aku's Fairy Tales action with his crowd size argument.

 

[jelly]

His book will be insane if he really was around Trump a lot.

 

[shiba5]

Loyalty to Trump >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else

 

[UberTag]

Ugh...would have preferred Huckabee Sanders to resign...god I hate her.

She's a better fit to be Trump's press secretary because she's so detestable. Just like him.

 

[mclem]

So what is incoming about Scaramucci that made Spicer just go fuck this?

I think was hoping that he would be asked to do the fandango.

 

[Machina]

He's disappeared back behind the hedges

 

[JettDash]

You'd still be fighting a fight against a President who has much more resources than you do.

As I said, I wouldn't be waiting on it.

The book could be worth seven figures and Trump would have zero case. What's the point of working for Trump if you're not going to profit off of it.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Lol.
Bye, Melissa.
Nothing surprising about this, I bet all the news outlets already had their articles at the ready months ago.

 

[adamsapple]

Spicey noooooooooo !!!!

 

[BiggNife]

I do really want to know why Spicer hates Scaramucci

Working with known racists like Bannon and Sessions was fine but hiring a hedge fund guy is too far? What bizarre logic is that?

Trump sidelined him from duties of press sec and then gave promised role to other guy

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Many saw this coming for some time. SHS has been almost every pressed, and she's the worst...so obviously the better fit.

^^^^dang Maxine. Tell us how you really feel about Jeff.

Bring the house down on the way out, Spicey.

OK, feel free to take that risk.

Damn

 

[NYR]

Only matters if Spicer comes out and admits he lied for the administration and doesn't believe in Trump, if he just leaves and becomes a voice piece like Corey Lewandowski, it is meaningless.

If anything, this will likely be an IMPROVEMENT for the administration, so might be too soon to celebrate, they simply lost one of their weaker members of the chain.

 

[Shadybiz]

This is true. Just as deplorable as he is.

 

[ElNarez]

see you spice cowboy

 

[Robdraggoo]

Trump to retroactively claim that he knew appointing Spicer was always a mistake in three, two...

He's bitched about him before.

 

[Ashby]

see you spice cowboy

Lol

 

[Bad_Boy]

republicans right now.

 

[jph139]

Good. Now he can dedicate his time to the real fight - the fight against Dippin Dots.

Godspeed Sean.

 

[freeofgreed]

Probably because a Wall Street guy with no experience shouldn't be given the communications job, because Trump likes what he says about him on TV.

I don't understand why he takes an issue with it now though. It's not like Trump hasn't hired unqualified people before.

It could be there is no beef, just a convenient excuse to bounce when the opportunity presented itself.

Yeah this is more of what I'm thinking.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I don't know if Trump should be pissing off Spicer right now. I'm sure he knows a lot and could sing like a canary if he wanted too.

 

[Rvaan]

see you spice cowboy

I dropped my phone reading this.

 

[A Serious Man]

Destroy your reputation, become a global laughing stock and repeatedly get shit on by your boss for your troubles. So long Spicey, you dumb, cowardly fuck.

I doubt he's close to anything that ties into Mueller's investigation... but he's got to have some amazing stories to tell about all the times they did their best to put out the fires breaking out everywhere, only for Trump to walk in with a flame thrower.

 

[BronsonLee]

Lol my god, Maxine has no chill about wanting Sessions gone

 

[mreddie]

 

[jwk94]

So what is incoming about Scaramucci that made Spicer just go fuck this?

Yeah, I curious too.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

He lasted about a month longer than I was expecting. What a trooper.

 

[Ouroboros]

Down down down, pick me up I'm falling.
