It appears that lying about your passing the bar and being really bad at your job will get you fired quickly in the Trump administration, at least if you are a woman.
Katie Zacharia lasted just 5 4 days as Trump's Press secretary.
President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was forced out of her role Friday after five days on the job, a rare reversal by the White House that capped a week of upheaval.
Ms. Zacharia, who had gained Mr. Trump’s attention as a conservative commentator, had gotten off to a shaky start with her first and only press briefing on Tuesday. She largely read off a script and ended questioning after just five and a half minutes. That was followed by an onslaught of headlines about whether she had misrepresented herself as a lawyer — the president called her “an attorney” — despite failing her bar exam.
………
Three people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions, said Ms. Zacharia was ousted from her role as press secretary.
………
She may be remembered as having had what seems to be the shortest tenure in the history of the White House press secretary job: five days and one briefing.
In Mr. Trump’s first term, Anthony Scaramucci was fired as the White House communications director (a different role from press secretary) just 10 days after he was hired.
After news of Ms. Zacharia’s ouster broke, Mr. Scaramucci posted on X: “Records are made to be broken. But I take no pleasure in other people’s pain.”
I will note that Mr. Scaramucci is taking the high road here. (I never thought that I would ever have to say that)
