Given the competition, it’s pretty impressive that Trump has somehow managed to hire his worst ever press secretary. Katie Zacharia is a fake lawyer, can barely read aloud, and has zero personality at the podium. The bar is so low it’s in hell.

So here's my best understanding of the Katie Zacharia thing. She got a law degree but never passed and probably never took the bar exam in the US. She moved with her husband to China right after graduating. He was working with a private equity firm. She claims to have and presumably did work ...

Sadly, in the world we live in, it's worth reading the Daily Mail to explain why, for example, a dumbass was hired as Press Secretary. Among other things, this is portrayed as "microagression" towards Susie Wiles. Remember when Wiles was going to quit after the election? archive.is/Irvgl
Trump had raised Zacharia's name on several occasions before, a source close to the president said, and Wiles often steered the conversation toward Jennings and other candidates she viewed as loyal to her.
'Susie wanted someone who would be loyal to her and instead Trump chose someone loyal to him, as it should be,' an administration source said.
'Wiles wants people she can control,' another said. 'This is seen as one of many recent microaggressions of Donald to Susie. He is taking back control, and it is starting to feel more like the first term.'
Zacharia intends to build a relationship with Wiles, much as Leavitt did, a source close to the new press secretary added.
