Spicer resigns as White House press secretary, Scaramucci to be communications director White House press secretary Sean Spicer resigned Friday following the appointment of wealthy financier Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director. Spicer’s deputy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was promoted to the press secretary role several hours later. Spicer’s abrupt and angry departure — which caught even senior West Wing staffers by surprise — reflects the latest upheaval in a White House that has been consumed by chaos and staff infighting almost since the day President Trump took office. Scaramucci has previously had a tense and fraught relationship with both Spicer and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, who both vehemently objected to Trump’s decision to install Scaramucci in the top communications job. Scaramucci has coined a particularly crude nickname for Priebus, and Priebus previously blocked the financier from several other top White House roles. Scaramucci had been in talks with the president and senior staff all week. But the shake-up comes amid intensifying tumult at the White House as Trump moves to respond to the widening special counsel probe into his campaign’s possible collusion with the Russian government and searches for ways to revive the administration’s stalled legislative agenda. Trump officially offered the position to Scaramucci, to whom he has become closer in recent weeks, at a meeting with senior staff in the Oval Office on Friday morning. On Thursday, Trump, Vice President Pence, Scaramucci and Trump’s , Ivanka, also huddled privately there to discuss Scaramucci’s new role. “The President wanted to bring on some folks, to add to the team. They were great,” Spicer said Friday in a brief interview. “This is something you dream of. I can’t thank the president enough.” Asked if he had any regrets, Spicer — who on Twitter said he would serve in his post through the end of August — replied: “None.” In a statement read by Sanders during the daily briefing, Trump said he was “grateful for Sean’s work” and wished him “continued success as he moves on to pursue new opportunities — just look at his great television ratings.” On Friday morning, the West Wing scrambled to present a united public front. Priebus called a private meeting of the White House communications staff and made clear that Spicer, who is expected to help Scaramucci transition into the role, is leaving to give the new communications director “a clean slate,” according to someone briefed on the meeting who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity. Priebus also tried to play down any tensions with Scaramucci, saying the two have known each other for a long time, and Scaramucci told his new team that he is not a “top down” manager, this person said. Scaramucci and Spicer then hugged. But bringing Scaramucci into the White House is likely to increase the backbiting and tension among Trump’s senior staff, especially with Priebus, with whom he has clashed in the past. A Priebus ally familiar with the move, however, rejected the notion that the chief of staff had tried to block Scaramucci, saying he was simply trying to slow down the process.  Honesty is the best policy. |

I sort of knew Spicer would not last in his job. We will miss all the jokes on him on "Saturday Night Live," and Comedy Central's "Daily Show with Trevor Noah." Sugi Dancer, Dating Coach

Anthony Scaramucci sounded very flirtatious to Trump when he said "I love the president and I’m very, very loyal to the president and I love the mission that the president has,” He is pleasing Trump with the words "LOVE" and "LOYAL" and both words are the music to Trump's ears. OMG, for his new job as "Communications Director", Scaramucci said those flirtatious words. Honesty is the best policy.

Hours after it was announced he was appointed to the vacant role, Scaramucci stood behind the podium during Friday’s White House press briefing and proclaimed his “love” for Trump and his administration. “I love the president and I’m very, very loyal to the president and I love the mission that the president has,” Scaramucci said. OMG!! Scaramucci reiterated his admiration for Trump and his administration over and over again during the briefing while speaking to reporters about his excitement level in taking over the job. He referenced the word “love” so much during the briefing that CNN compiled a mashup and played it on air. Honesty is the best policy.
