I am pleased to announce @StephGrisham45 will be the next @PressSec & Comms Director! She has been with us since 2015 - @potus & I can think of no better person to serve the Administration & our country. Excited to have Stephanie working for both sides of the @WhiteHouse. #BeBest— Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) June 25, 2019
From Karen Townsend at HotAir: "It is a smart move that the next press secretary will, like Sarah Sanders, be a working mom. Like Sanders, Grisham is known to not take any crap from the press. It’s like how moms handle their children when they act out and do dumb things to get attention. You know, like the White House press corps has a habit of doing for the television cameras. Grisham, like Sanders, doesn’t appear to particularly care if the members of the press corps like her or not. She just does her job, which has been to speak up for Melania Trump."
OK. She sounds like a tough gal up for the task, after running interference in the turbulent political atmosphere for the FLOTUS these last two years. I wish Mrs. Grisham well and good luck.
However, in light of the rapid revolving door that characterizes this administration, I'll simply announce that the 'Resignation Pool' is up. Five bucks gets you in. I pick Nov. 25, 2019 - just in time for the dependable 'spend more time with family' ploy. Who's in?
