Hope Hicks Will Return To WH | Talking Points Memo

Hope Hicks is boomeranging back to the White House after leaving nearly two years ago.

The former White House communications director who worked on President Trump’s 2016 campaign is set to take on a new role in her old stomping grounds. The White House confirmed to TPM that although Hicks will not be part of the communications team, she will be working closely with senior adviser Jared Kushner and political director Brian Jack “in a number of strategic areas.”

“There is no one more devoted to implementing President Trump’s agenda than Hope Hicks,” Kushner said in a statement obtained by TPM. “We are excited to have her back on the team.”

So, Hicks agrees with kidnapping children from their parents. Good to know.

Do the White House actually needs someone to tell lies of any color? There is nothing but liars in the whole building. And what is the motivation for Hicks, aren’t there enough wife-beater in the private sector?

Tell me this isn’t at least plausible.

BTW it’s an interesting side issue: This is a pretty sharp non-medical person who’s made a particular study of dementia and has thoughts. There’s a certain type of self-taught expertise that harkens back to the Enlightenment, and although we wouldn’t allow him to write prescriptions or direct therapy he’s got an opinion and we’re not fussy about credentials on that. Actual professionals are saying similar things. Let’s just say if the inner circle’s getting increasingly desperate this is a thing they might very well do in response. It’s not like he lacks for advisers.

Hmmm. Lots of people refer to themselves as “we.” Has this gone on since Hope was Invaka’s assist?

I thought this as well – she’ll provide soothing eye candy and act as a human pacifier for the demented man-baby.

A new role? Different from her old role, whatever that may have been?

I’m quite gobsmacked by this development and must go have a lie down to recompose myself.

Like many of Trump’s enablers, she simply transcends job descriptions.

 

O ye of little faith!
