This is probably not the headline Sean Spicer wanted to read today.


After reports surfaced that President Donald Trump is considering a broad shake-up of his communications team, Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle confirmed to the Mercury News that she is in fact speaking to the administration about taking Spicer’s job as White House press secretary.

“I’m a patriot, and it would be an honor to serve the country,” Guilfoyle told the newspaper. “I think it’d be a fascinating job, it’s a challenging job, and you need someone really determined and focused, a great communicator in there with deep knowledge to be able to handle that position.”


The discussion about replacing Spicer came after a mad scramble by Trump’s communications team to manage the fallout following the decision to fire FBI Director James Comey last week. Trump reportedly only informed Spicer of the decision an hour before he announced it publicly, leading to a widely-mocked moment where Spicer hid "among the bushes" as reporters sought answers about Comey's firing.

Sources also told the New York Times that Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has lost his patience with Spicer, and lashed out at the embattled press secretary in a meeting on Monday.

Gulifoyle has had our next President's (Gavin Newsom) dick in her mouth.
 
wonder if they'll have a man play her on SNL
 
Trump is weird about women. I think he divides them into "mommies" and "whores". He employed a woman in a very important role in his company for years - specifically this woman (taking part in the Women's March Against Trump):

and he also encouraged Ivana (i.e., Ivanka's mom) to get into business. Of course, he got all butthurt when she turned out to be good at it.

Tell you want IS true: women hate Trump. Especially this one:

Free Advice to Trump Aides: Quit While You Can
This isn't just a puff piece, it's got some serious points that I hadn't considered, especially the legal fees business:

They aren’t just selling out their country. They’re selling out themselves.

Great prizes await the first few people to break ranks and tell the country what they know about this corrupt and degenerate presidency. The majority of Americans who fear and disdain Mr. Trump will hail them as patriots. There are book and movie deals to be had and cable contracts to sign.

The political tell-all can be a lucrative career move. Scott McClellan, a press secretary for George W. Bush, had a No. 1 New York Times best seller with his scathing memoir of the Bush White House, “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deceit.” George Stephanopoulos, a former senior aide to Bill Clinton, wrote a best-selling account of his White House disillusionment, “All Too Human: A Political Education,” which served as part of his transformation from politico to highly paid TV journalist. Mr. Dean, who basically invented the form of White House confessional with his 1976 book “Blind Ambition: The White House Years,” continues to enjoy a successful career as an author and pundit.
Thanks to copious leaks, we already know a lot more about the internal workings of the Trump White House than we do about past administrations, but there is still immense interest in what is really going on and how the major players feel about it. It would be worth the price of a hardcover just to learn how Kellyanne Conway — who, according to the “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, said she needed to shower after defending Mr. Trump during the campaign — sleeps at night.

“There are going to be a lot more best-selling authors coming out of the Trump administration than out of the Obama administration,” said Eric Nelson, the editorial director of Broadside Books, the conservative imprint at HarperCollins. “Trump makes everybody he touches a national story.”

Those who stick around, however, will discover that in politics, being part of a national story can be ruinous. Members of Mr. Clinton’s administration had to shoulder huge legal bills, some running into hundreds of thousands of dollars, after being forced to testify before congressional committees and grand juries. As Mr. Stephanopoulos noted in 1998, “A single trip to the grand jury can cost you $10,000.”

Congressional and legal investigations into Mr. Trump’s presidency — including his ties to Russia, his firing of Mr. Comey and the overlap of his business interests and his governing responsibilities — are likely to be even more extensive than those Mr. Clinton faced, particularly if Democrats take back either house of Congress next year.

“Anybody who is there now, if they’re anywhere close to the problems, they’re probably going to need an attorney, and it’s going to get expensive,” Mr. Dean warned. “I think a lot of people are going to get hurt.”

Allies of the Clintons set up legal defense funds to pay off some of their aides’ bills. People working for this administration should ask themselves whether they are confident that anyone close to Mr. Trump, a man notorious for stiffing his contractors, would do the same.
