    She said she was an attorney too, but extremely likely, is not. She went to law school, but no one has records of her being able to practice law in any state. I bet they never checked, lmao.

    But asked on Tuesday where she passed the bar exam, Trump looked back at his new press secretary and asked her, “Which state?” “When I moved to China,” she said.

    She is not listed with the State Bar of California, where she lives. She also does not appear on the state’s list of attorneys under her maiden name. An attorney with an identical name who does appear on the state’s list works for the Department of Child Support Services.

      She probably thought that graduating law school meant she was a lawyer and only recently learned that the Bar Exam is a thing. She’s the kind of lawyer who advised Michael Scott that yelling “bankruptcy” is declaring bankruptcy.

      My bar license lives in China, you wouldn’t know it.

      Why are you so interested in compentcy and qualifications? We are back to cronyism / the spoils system. It worked really well for people that were unskilled grifters in the past. It’s high time those people had another day in the sun.

    Scaramucci wasn’t fired because of incompetence in the press room, though. He was fired because he started calling journalists and spilling the beans about internal disagreements. Reading at a fourth-grade level definitely isn’t a problem as far as Trump is concerned lol.

      Sure but if she confuses her husband with her pedophile boss on her opening; how tight do you think she’ll keep those secrets?

    Pretty sure her boat will be leaving the port fairly soon

    I wonder who blackmailed who to get this job. Or maybe Trump knew her from his Epstein days

    I didn’t have to know anything other than she was Trump’s new Press Secretary to know what she looked like (his daughter).

      If the person is a woman and in his administration it is a safe bet that she is young, blonde, pretty, and crazy.

    I am going to bet on her to be honest. There is a solid chance they just dont do many or any more press breifings. Or if they do any more she only takes questions from places like ONN or whatever right wing grifter is there.

      Agreed. Competence has nothing to do with job security here. Look at the Dept of “WAR!”. Hell, also check out Education and Homeland Security while you’re at it. The only measure is fealty. Plus, in v.1.0, they stopped having regular press conferences somewhere around year 2 or 3, if memory serves.
