This week White House Communications Advisor Hope Hicks joined a long, long, long list (see below) of former Trump administration officials who’ve left the SS Trumptanic after barely more than a year in office. She’s reportedly not the only want who is ready to leave, but it turns out, there isn’t much of a market for former White House staffers. From Buzzfeed:
A former White House official said he's spoken with more aides inside the White House who are trying to leave the administration, but not necessarily getting the kinds of high-paying offers in the corporate world as former aides usually do.
"Things are still pretty bleak inside the White House," the source said. "I've talked to several people in the last week trying to find a way out, but they can't get out because no one is really hiring people with Trump White House experience. Not a fun time to say the least."
Another source close to the administration said he has also talked to those on the inside about potential job offers. The source said he remembers seeing one particularly fitting pun about Hick's departure on Thursday: "The White House has lost Hope." "That about says it all, right?" the source added.
Weird that people don’t want to hire a group of people who’ve stood by a lying, corrupt, racist president. Employers are so picky these days!
Meanwhile, Rachel Maddow unveiled a list of the top administration departures in the last year. This. Is. Not. Normal.
Last one out, please turn out the lights.
