Nice Work If You Can Get It

Stephanie Grisham has been let go from her job as press secretary for the White House. Despite serving in that position for nine months, she never gave a press conference--not one. Nevertheless she was still being paid a six figure yearly salary.

So Grisham was paid a lot for doing nothing and Jared Kushner is paid nothing for doing a lot. Sort of balances out especially given their mutual lack of competence.

Edit: The new press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, cheered on Trump's response to the Covid19 pandemic in February 2020, ""We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here, we will not see terrorism come here and isn’t it refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of President Obama.”

Sounds like she is a perfect fit for Trump.

In the real world, Covid19 is still raging and there are conflicting reports about changes in projection of duration and morbidity with one model showing fewer than previously predicted but still around 82000 deaths and with real time news showing NY with the largest single increase in deaths in daily deaths yesterday at 731. Who is the awful president now?
