Inside America: Wer für Trump spricht, den bestraft das Leben

Donald Trump's press secretary Katie Zacharia's five-day tenure came to an abrupt end, a record-breaking short span. The 36-year-old quit her job, citing a poorly tailored CV and a false claim that she had passed her law exams. She added to her woes when she admitted to failing her law exams after moving to China. Zacharia's background is impressive; she used to work as a communications consultant for Trump's media company, which operates the president's platform, Truth Social.
