Sean Spicer may have laughed off Melissa McCarthy's hilarious satire of his White House press behavior, but someone in the White House didn't.
The Sexist-In-Chief was apparently most offended by the woman part of the performance:
More than being lampooned as a press secretary who makes up facts, it was Spicer’s portrayal by a woman that was most problematic in the president’s eyes, according to sources close to him. And the unflattering send-up by a female comedian was not considered helpful for Spicer’s longevity in the grueling, high-profile job in which he has struggled to strike the right balance between representing an administration that considers the media the "opposition party," and developing a functional relationship with the press.
"Trump doesn't like his people to look weak," added a top Trump donor.
Trump’s uncharacteristic Twitter silence over the weekend about the “Saturday Night Live” sketch was seen internally as a sign of how uncomfortable it made the White House feel. Sources said the caricature of Spicer by McCarthy struck a nerve and was upsetting to the press secretary and to his allies, who immediately saw how damaging it could be in Trump world.
First it was millions of women in pussy hats making Donald Trump squirm. Now it's one woman in a wig.
In my world, woman does not equal weak.
That it does in Trump world says a lot about him, and those who side with him when it comes to women, and none of what it says is good.
