Trump taps Melania Trump spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham as next White House press chief - CNNPolitics

Melania Trump's spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham will get a major new role as both White House press secretary and communications director, the first lady tweeted Tuesday.

"I am pleased to announce @StephGrisham45 will be the next @PressSec & Comms Director! She has been with us since 2015 - @POTUS & I can think of no better person to serve the Administration & our country. Excited to have Stephanie working for both sides of the @WhiteHouse. #BeBest" Melania Trump tweeted.
President Donald Trump didn't look far for his next press secretary in Grisham, who for the past two years has been the communications director for the first lady. Grisham will keep her current job too.

However, Trump has tweaked the job duties before handing the reins to Grisham, whose purview will include a larger scope of responsibility than that of her predecessor Sarah Sanders, and one as yet unprecedented in this administration. Trump has appointed Grisham both White House director of communications as well as press secretary, a senior White House official tells CNN. Grisham will be assuming the roles formerly held by Bill Shine, who departed as White House communications director in March, and Sanders, who has said her last day will be this Friday.

Additionally, Grisham will remain in charge of communications for the East Wing in addition to her new West Wing responsibilities, staying on as the spokeswoman for the first lady, says the official.

This lady will have her hands full. She must be a complete idiot or incredibly dishonest with no moral compass to take a job like this where your boss expects you to go up and say obvious lies about people. But maybe that won't be a problem and she will simply continue Sanders last 100 days and just cancel any and all press conferences.

Good luck to her. She will need it.
 
Are we even having press briefings anymore?
 
Given the climate, the OP title is ironic....
 
I wonder if this one will actually do her job and hold press briefings, like the last one didn't.

I also wonder if she has imaginary friends at the FBI, too.

Is there another hush money payment on the horizon?

This partisan crap is getting old. Did you say this when Obama's three press secretaries Robert Gibbs, Jay Carney, and Josh Earnest faced the press? Probably not, since the Obama loving press ask them mostly softball questions. And don't kid yourself, they all told whoppers for their boss.

We know all about her in AZ. She worked for a complete idiot who was AZ house speaker (I've met the guy, he is a real tool), anyway, she banned reporters from the AZ house floor...it didn't go well for her.

You mean to take a job that promotes the administration agenda, answers the questions they want and then deflects or lies on all the other questions? That's the job of every press secretary. Obama's lied all the time. It's always been a pretty worthless position.
 
it's sad that anyone would take this job.

They have a long history of presenting data and info in the best light possible for the whitehouse, and for deflecting criticism when possible. I think everyone accepts that a president wants a press secretary that will present him in a good light. But Sanders straight up lied day in and day out, she was overly combative and would get hostile just because a reporter asked a tough question. She took it from "presenting things in a better light" or 'twisting' and turned it into straight out absurd falsehoods and lying to attack the character of people. Those aren't in the job description and should not be made to seem normal.
 

And here I was fairly certain that Trump would replace The Shuckabee with Bobby.....

How many does this make? What a stinky, trash-fire the WH press sec office has become! It started with Spicy lying about inauguration attendance, continued with "The Mooch" yelling about people fellating themselves, and ended recently with Sarah Hucking lies about Obama tapping trump's phones with zero evidence.

I hear that Joseph Goebbels is in hiding in Argentina. They should recruit him! :roll:

Sanders was so horrifically dishonest during her tenure that I have essentially completely forgot about all the Spicer stuff.

Astounding...

My friend, totally understandable. You are NOT alone!

Is it not truly amazing at how numb we've become to the horrendous lies, deceit and out and out corruption displayed by this white house and administration?

Absolutely.

One thing I find astounding is that when people have a hard time understanding why I'm saying that the president is great at marketing but lies all the time and can't be trusted on almost anything, I bring up when the president tweeted "North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat!" after his first meeting with Kim Jong Un. The overwhelming majority of the time they argue with me that he never said that and that he would never say something so silly. You show them the tweet and they start asking if it's a fake tweet from a spoof account. How in the world can almost nobody be aware of what is very likely one of the most absurd, incompetent, breathtakingly false statements that has ever been expressed by a president? You'd have to be absolutely retarded to believe that NK is no longer a nuclear threat, but he typed it up and hit send anyway. Either he believed it, which is scary as ****, or he honestly thought that his supporters would believe that somehow he had really solved the NK problem with a single meeting and not even the outline of an agreement reached. it makes Obama's statement that "Isis is the JV squad for Al-Qaeda" look like a very minor mistake in comparison. Yet Obama was derided for years on such a comment, yet with Trump saying something that is countless times more absurd it didn't even register on the scale because he's set the bar so low.

Isis, was created by the power vacuum left when Bush and his fellow war-criminals out Iran's only enemy. Now Iran is rekindling their nuclear program with will shortly be a terrorist state with nukes.

Thank you right-wing nuts for peeing on us and trying to tell us it's raining!

The right are really, really good at enriching themselves and their donors at taxpayer expense but do not give a crap about anyone worth less than a few million or our nation's security.

As trump often says, when he attacks the truth - SAD!
 
It's not only the White House. There has also been no pressers at the Pentagon and State.
