The White House communications office, which has been without an official director since Hope Hicks’ departure in March, is steadily bleeding staffers, embroiling those remaining in uncertainty and infighting, according to a Sunday Politico report.
Senior officials are reportedly trying to stagger the exits, to make the losses seem smaller.
On the heels of Kelly Sadler’s departure Friday and rumors that White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah are eyeing the exits, Politico reports that two more staffers will leave in the next couple weeks.
“The inside baseball of who will get purged, and when, is spiraling out of control,” a former White House aide told Politico. “People do not even care about the broader communications strategy when it’s all about internal warfare. Who cares how you roll out a legislative plan, when you’re trying to screw over the person to the left or right of you?”

How many young lives will Trump have ruined before he’s dethroned?
How many of these people will struggle to find gainful employment, and another ladder to climb, new backs to stab on the way up… after they sold their professional souls to Trump?
Trump’s Republicans choke on the truth but they swallow the lie.
It couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch. Good luck (not really) getting another job with the WH comm on their resumes. I am sure they all thought this would be a stepping stone to something bigger and better but when you willingly work for scum, the stench gets on you and never really goes away.

I expect that for the few who wanted to put a WH job on their resume and who are not ideologues they have found that the job requires just exactly that and that they be uncritical tRump worshippers to boot.
Pretty soon the tRump will have to give his own briefings - and to be honest I’ll bet he has already suggested that he would be better at it than anyone else.
