It takes a ‘different’ type of person to accept the position of ‘paid liar’ in Trump’s White House. In just over three years the Trump administration employed four press secretaries: all of whom graduated from the same ‘clown college.’

Sean Spicer was the most entertaining. His lack of knowledge, and desperation to control the press conferences with blatant lies and conspiracy theories became so pitiful I had to chuckle; no one believed him. Everyone remembers his biggest lie: “Mr. Trump’s inauguration was the biggest in history; period!”

He was replaced by Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She adopted a confrontational style but she couldn’t misdirect the truth. She was once confronted while eating at a restaurant by a woman who called her a “liar.” She learned the hard way that Americans will not accept lies, which was her only purpose in Trump’s pitiful administration.

Few Americans are aware that Stephanie Grisham was Trump’s third press secretary. During her short tenure not a single press conference was conducted. Either she was frightened to stand before legitimate journalists, or she realized she wasn’t an accomplished liar. Kellyanne Conway, Mike Pence, and “Hucka-Sanders” set high standards for avoiding the truth.

Trump’s fourth and current choice came directly from the right-wing propaganda machine, Fox News. Kayleigh McEnany ‘hit the ground running,’ appearing to be very similar to “Hucka-Sanders.” However, the more she speaks, the more outrageous she becomes and the fact that her head is vacant of organized thought, has proven that she came from the same clown college as her predecessors. Another Fox blonde bimbo without self-respect.

Recently McEnany made a moronic and insulting statement about the very White House press corps she is supposed to work with. Fox’ Chris Wallace was not able to confront McEnany directly, so “Fox and Friends’” Brian Kilmeade did it for him.

“Boy, it’s interesting to be in a room that desperately wants to seem to see these churches and houses of worship stay closed,” she told reporters, some of whom objected in the moment to that blatant condescension.

As Kilmeade put it, “Some of the press got insulted,” before reading McEnany part of what Wallace said about her comments on his Sunday show.

“Let me just say, Sam Donaldson and me in the Reagan White House, we were pretty tough on the White House press secretaries and we never had our religious beliefs questioned or were lectured on what we should ask,” Wallace said. Kilmeade left out the part where Wallace said that in his six years covering the White House he “never saw a White House press secretary act like that.”

Trump’s administration is an insult to every one of their predecessors. They have no dignity and no respect for their responsibilities. I am ashamed to be in a country which is run by morons and failures.

Disagreeing is American. Personally, attacking someone is childish and displays a lack of intelligence. It all begins with the megalomaniac in the White House who is incapable of dealing with even the most minor of criticisms. His administration is filled with incompetent, immature, and unqualified men and women who are unfit for their positions in our nation’s government.

Your vote can remove every member of Trump’s administration and his hypocritical party who are serving the fascist in the Oval Office and not the American people.
