TRUMP PEOPLE/SEAN SPICER: “Weekday afternoons at 1:30, it’s the can’t-miss Sean Spicer Show.
President Trump refuses to axe his harried, gaffe-prone press secretary because his daily briefings are ratings gold, an insider told the Washington Post for a story published Sunday.
‘I’m not firing Sean Spicer,’ Trump reportedly said during a White House lunch last month. ‘That guy gets great ratings. Everyone tunes in.’
The reality star turned commander-in-chief — a voracious television consumer — reportedly went on to compare Spicer’s performances to a soap opera, adding they drew almost as many eyeballs.”
