The beleaguered Sean Spicer suffered his fair share of woes during his six-month tenure as Trump’s press secretary.

One of those woes was being deprived of a mini-fridge when he first started out and being forced to take matters into his own hands, the Wall Street Journal reports.

With nothing to keep his food and drinks cold, Spicer sent an aide over to where several junior research employees worked nearby. The aide asked them to hand over their mini-fridge. They said no.

However, Spicer didn’t join the Navy to get shut down by junior staffers.

The former press secretary waited until nighttime to strike. According to the Journal, a White House official saw Spicer dragging the mini-fridge down the driveway after 8 P.M.

Victory was his.

  1. He couldn’t help himself.

    R.

  2. Trump doesn’t have that problem cause he was given a very nice mini-fridge as a gift from the Russian ambassador. It’s got a “voice control” feature that’s always listening! Isn’t technology these days amazing?

  3. This changes everything.

    Added: You can’t really “drag” a mini fridge.

  4. Bhahahahaha!!

    What a jerk! For less that $100 Spicey could have gotten his own mini-fridge and shown some respect for his subordinates. What’s more, as of his dismissal/resignation yesterday, he could have taken it with him.

    Is this emblematic of Navy leadership?

    Obviously Spicey’s behavior is representative of his former boss.
