+++ USA +++: Trumps neue Sprecherin verliert Job in der ersten Woche im Amt

The White House announced that President Donald Trump has dismissed his newly appointed press secretary, Katie Zacharia, according to the New York Times and CNN, citing confidential sources familiar with the matter. Trump himself reportedly suggested to Zacharia that she consider resigning, stating, "Honestly, if I were her, I would think about it again.

Consider it," before heading to the White House. He expressed that he would let her decide whether to remain in the position, acknowledging that she had faced significant hardships in the media recently. Trump acknowledged that she had suffered in recent days and wanted her to be happy, supporting her decision. He indicated that they would speak again soon.

Zacharia had recently taken on the role, and her brief appearance before the press was marked by a nervous demeanor, with reporters noting an unusually swift exit following just a few questions. Zacharia had previously been accused of misusing a legal designation despite not passing the necessary examination, a claim she later admitted.

She also clarified that she had been criticized by media outlets like Fox News, which she described as a difficult start. Trump emphasized that his previous press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, had done an excellent job, and he believed Zacharia could succeed as well.
