Photographer Catches Topics in Kayleigh McEnany's Briefing Binder: Obama, Hate, Golf, Mueller, Lies,

Source: Mediaite

A Reuters photograph of White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s vast briefing binder offered a peek behind the curtain of the Trump administration’s messaging priorities.

Taken from the side of the White House briefing room podium, the photograph catches McEnany opening the book, exposing dozens of alphabetized tabs with short category names. During her tenure, McEnany has developed a reputation for flipping open her briefing book after a particularly confrontational question and reading verbatim from pre-written responses, which often included canned attacks on the press or praise from allies.

In the photo taken at Thursday’s White House briefing, McEnany’s tabs include a number evergreen topics, but several recent ones as well. “Covid” and “Test” as well as “PPE,” “Masks,” “CDC,” and “Cases” suggest a healthy amount of prepared remarks on the raging pandemic. But also included in the binder were more ephemeral topics, like “Goya” about the controversy over the Trump-led counter-backlash to a liberal boycott of the food company, “Mary” which, presumably, refers to the president’s niece and her damning tell-all book, and “Hogan,” which likely alluded to Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s scathing Washington Post essay condemning Trump’s pandemic response. Also included were notable files on former President Barack “Obama,” as well as subjects used to frequently criticize Trump like “Golf,” “Russia,” “Hate,” and a misspelled “Meuller.”

I think the misspelling is a clue for who writes his dodges and lies for McEnany, though I'm sure most are still handled by Stephen Miller.

Take away the bleached blond hair and replace it with heavily receding dark hairline, and you will see it. Same dead, dull eyes. Similar mouth and face structure.

...except scoring points with Trumpy and blasting the reporters in front of her.

These notes and her wild right-winger speeches, which is what they are, aren't even designed to add one more voter to Trumpy's side. Indeed, her smart-alec remarks and holier-than-thou attitude only cement the failings of his entire Administration and it's staff, her included. She's far, far to self-absorbed to see that the press mocking her and her Master at every turn.

Game-set-match for us, I say!
