Trump holds auditions while Spicers away

Press secretary Sean Spicer’s absence from the briefing room on Wednesday comes at a tenuous time, as President Donald Trump has asked senior advisers for weeks if he needs to change the face of his administration, several White House officials and outside advisers to the president said.

Trump was pleased with deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ performance on Friday, when she first filled in for Spicer on camera during the midday briefing, three White House aides said, adding that he has talked about grooming her for Spicer’s more visible role.

They said the press team's much-criticized handling of Trump’s decision Tuesday to fire FBI Director James Comey may have further made the case to Trump that Sanders should take over the podium.

Trump has asked senior aides for their opinions about her performance since Friday. He thought she did well again on Wednesday when she had the difficult task of taking questions about Trump’s blockbuster announcement that he’d ousted Comey, one White House official said.

1. He needs to change the face, the hair, and the shitty attitude of his "administration".

[Solly Mack]

2. But of course. It's not Trump's fault he looks bad.

It's everyone else that fails to make him look good.

3. Sanders does worse than Spicer

I don't see how anyone, even Trump, can think that Sanders is effective. As much as people make fun if Spicer, Sanders might be an even easier target for ridicule. I urge SNL to include her in this week's show. Let her have a taste of what it is like.

6. Rosie O'Donnell might be a good SNL

stand in for her.

4. It Is Always Someone Else's Fault

Typical sociopathic behavior. It is always someone else's fault, not Trump's. Things going badly? Find a stooge or a scapegoat, pin it on him or her, and get rid of them. Public image a problem? Sack Spicer.

Ironic that Trump expects absolute loyalty from his cronies, but he gives zero loyalty in return. Anyway, this is just moving chairs around on the deck of the Titanic. Hopefully indictments will be coming soon.

5. The only way he can improve his image would be to jettison almost his entire cabinet and

bring is people that are not complete and utter assholes or in other words no die hard Repugnants and the day he does that is the day I will be the sole winner of a 1 billion dollar lottery jackpot.

7. Huckabee is heinous & hideous

in her own peculiar republican way, with her own peculiar deviancy from the truth.

[Maeve]

8. 'Auditions'--it's NOT an f-ing game show!!!!!!!

THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL.

[jmowreader]

10. I was about to point that out

Most people use the term "interviews"

[Sunlei]

9. Spicer wants out of the 'spokesman' for a lunatic 'job'. bet he didn't tell her trumps a screamer.

[Vinca]

11. If Spicy was smart he'd run like the wind and never come back.

At some point there will be a taint that follows all of these people around like Watergate.
