Politics (Update) Sean Spicer resigns as Donald Trump White House Press Secretary
Many people didn’t think Sean would last this long (6 months and 1 day) as President Trumps Press Secretary. It’s been a long tough road defending Donald Trump to the press every month.
Trump’s decision Friday morning to install wealthy financier Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director set off an unexpected chain reaction, with White House press secretary Sean Spicer resigning in protest, according to people familiar with the departure. By afternoon, Spicer’s deputy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, had been named to replace him.
As the reorganization unfolded throughout the day, Trump’s communications shop — not known for finely tuned messaging — offered its best attempt at a display of unity, a Kabuki-theater performance juxtaposing polite public statements with sniping and complaints behind the scenes.
“The president wanted to bring on some folks, to add to the team,” Spicer said in a brief interview on Friday. “This is something you dream of. I can’t thank the president enough.”

Sean Spicer is a wonderful person who took tremendous abuse from the Fake News Media – but his future is bright!
