Why Trump’s new press secretary had to go after just five days
When you have to sack your new recruit after just five days, that reflects much more on the person doing the hiring than the person being fired.
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia has departed her position after serving less than a week. According to The Vibes, Zacharia was let go following a period marked by criticism of her media appearances and questions regarding her legal credentials. This departure occurs just over two weeks before the US midterm elections in November.
Donald Trump told reporters on Friday that he had encouraged Zacharia to reconsider staying in the role after she faced difficult scrutiny from the media during her first days in office. He stated that he told her he was not sure she could be happy in the position and suggested she reconsider.
The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age noted that sacking a new recruit after only five days reflects more on the person doing the hiring than the person being fired.
