An excerpt from Wikipedia suddenly reminded me of what it must be like to be a spokesperson for President Trump. You can read the entire article here The King's Other Throne
The Groom of the Stool (formally styled: "Groom of the King's Close Stool") was the most intimate of an English Monarch's courtiers, responsible for assisting the king in the performance of the bodily functions of excretion and ablution.
The physical intimacy of the role naturally led to him becoming a man in whom much confidence was placed by his royal master and with whom many royal secrets were shared as a matter of course. This secret information—while it would never have been revealed, to the discredit of his honour—in turn led to him becoming feared and respected and therefore powerful within the royal court in his own right. The office developed gradually over decades and centuries into one of administration of the royal finances, and under Henry VII, the Groom of the Stool became a powerful official involved in setting national fiscal policy, under the "chamber system".[1][2]
Then I re-read the final sentence and realized that it might even extend to his Cabinet and beyond. WiIll this nightmare ever end? When will FearfulLeader convert us to the “chamber system”?
