Communications Chaos
Inside The White House

An enormous communications problem is boiling over inside the Trump White House. You get 3 guesses to figure out the name of the head honcho behind the problem — and the first 2 don’t count!

Politics
Yes, Donald Trump is perhaps one of the worst communicators to ever walk the face of the earth.  The man is known to frequently say one thing then do another, or to create “alternative facts” AKA his version of the truth. So, it’s no wonder that the people who work for him are about ready to pull their hair out or contemplate jumping off a bridge.

Case in point is the man in charge of White House communications: Press Secretary Sean Spicer. Spicey has the unenviable task of having to go before the press and attempt to make logical sense of “The Donald’s” disjointed daily thoughts. Unfortunately, Trump frequently F’s up the administration’s official message hours later by tweeting the very opposite of what Spicer already told the press, however, that is the madness of Donald Trump.

Here are the communications issues currently facing the Trump White House:

SO LONG, SPICER
Recent word out of Washington is that Trump is ready to replace Sean Spicer with someone who can better deliver his “message.” However, with Trump’s thinking and message so garbled, only God could do a better job and He’s not interested in the gig!

Donald Trump actually believes that his message is perfect and sensible and that the only problem is with the person delivering it — NOT HIM. Too bad no one in the Trump circle has the balls to tell him the truth (psst: It’s YOU, Donald!).

Good luck, WH Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.  If you get the job (as expected), you’re going to need all the patience and the luck you can get.

RIP PRESS CONFERENCES
In an attempt to control the media and deliver HIS words HIS way (without any audio or visual proof of what was said), Donald Trump has put an end to the traditional press briefing. Believing that he is the best person to deliver his own message, Trump has downgraded the press to a level of near nothingness.

Effective immediately, reporters are barred from recording video or audio footage during White House press briefings. Trump would prefer to tell the press what he wants “off the cuff” by tweeting info late at night. He’d also prefer to put an end to the embarrassing televised sound bites during press briefings that make him appear to be an imbecile.

“Make no mistake about what we are all witnessing,” said CNN senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta. “This is a WH that is stonewalling the news media. Hiding behind no camera/no audio gaggles.” Acosta went on to describe White House press briefings as becoming “kind of useless,” and questioned why journalists should bother attending if they are not allowed to record on camera or with audio.

“It just feels like we’re slowly but surely being dragged into what is a new normal in this country where the President of the United States is allowed to insulate himself from answering hard questions,” Acosta said. He added that every American should be concerned that Donald Trump is purposely trying to keep information from them and is attempting to make it all seem normal.

IS HE, OR ISN’T HE?
When Trump hired Jay Sekulow as a member of his personal legal team, he was supposedly hiring one of the best attorneys in the business. However, Sekulow’s blatant contradictions and absolute meltdown on live television this week has only added to the Trump communications chaos.

During an interview with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,” Sekulow seemed unable to decide if Donald Trump is or isn’t under investigation. He originally denied that Trump was under investigation, but later reversed that affirmation, saying that “he’s being investigated for taking the action that the attorney general and deputy attorney general recommended him to take.”

“You’ve now said that he is being investigated,” Wallace said. “You just said, sir, you just said that he’s being investigated.”

“Let me be crystal clear so you completely understand, we have not received, nor are we aware of any investigation of the president of the United States. Period,” Sekulow responded.

When Wallace pressed him on the extremely obvious contradictions in his statements and even offered to review the tape of the live interview, Sekulow insisted that he had been clear and even pulled a “Donald Trump” by shifting the blame that the fault and miscommunication was not with him.

“I do not appreciate you putting words in my mouth when I’ve been crystal clear that the president is not and has not been under investigation,” Sekulow said, completely ignoring the fact that Donald Trump himself tweeted that he is under investigation.
