Looks to me like he just couldn't handle the job, and was offered resignation over firing.

I mean, who could handle the job? This isn't a normal job, this is being communications direction to a guy who gets on twitter with bullshit before he's even spoken to anyone, what do you need a communications director for then?

If he couldn't keep up with the President, it was the right thing to do. Trump ran on an ambitious agenda of change, not just in what the government would do, but also in how the government would do it, and some people who might have fit well into a less ambitious administration, are just not fit to serve in this one.

Trump is not fit to serve if he cannot commit to and operate within a communications strategy and directive.

Morning tweets sitting on the bathroom throne would drive any of us crazy trying to manage that nonsense.

So you think the President is there to serve the needs his staff rather than his staff being there to serve his needs. His core supporters love his tweets, but his critics hate them and everything else he does, so why would the President's communications director want to manage the President's actions to please those who will always hate him at the expense of those who support him?
 
...so why would the President's communications director want to manage the President's actions to please those who will always hate him at the expense of those who support him?
Gosh, numb nuts, maybe because he's supposed to be the President of ALL AMERICANS? Why just keep the 24% minority supporting his Orange Ass blissfully charmed by his stupidity instead of REPRESENTING the overwhelming and long term interests of 100% of his constituency?
 
The leakers, anyone who know leakers or were connected with leakers in any way are going to run before the mass arrests start.

He is speaking to all Americans, but people like you just don't want to hear him. People like you are only open to hearing negative things about him, so you are essentially irrelevant.

You find the same kind of thinking among those who believe that businesses are run for the benefit of the employees.

The fact is that the problem is Donald Trump not his communications team. His communications team had this story where Comey was fired because of the No 2 person at the Justice Department's recommendation then Trump admitted he was the one who fired Comey.

The fact is that he did not run on a ambitious agenda of change. He has no ideas to speak of and cannot articulate them. He doesn't care what is in a Republican healthcare bill as long as he can sign something and talk about how great he is.

There are two issues here. First, it is true that the President intended to fire Comey before Rosenstein recommended it but fired him at that time because of the Rosenstein letter, which largely echoed Democratic complaints about how Comey had handled the Clinton email scandals, in the belief the Democrats would agree Comey had to go for that reason, but after bellowing about how Comey had delivered the presidency to Trump by these actions, suddenly, cynically, decided how Comey had behaved during the election was no longer important and Comey was their hero. The lesson to be learned here is, never trust anything the Democrats say, because if they think they smell political blood, they'll say the exact opposite the next minute without even blushing.

Your second point that the President has no agenda or ideas indicates you are simply not capable of hearing anything he has said.

Any communication role in the White House is going to be a revolving door. How can you effectively go out and tell the press that your boss fired the Director of the FBI because of his treatment of Hillary Clinton and had nothing to do with the Russia investigation, one day and then have your boss tell the media it was because of the Russia thing, the next day, while maintaining creditability.

Sean Spicer was a very respected man when he went to work for Trump. Now his reputation is destroyed, and he'll be hard pressed to salvage a career by the time he leaves/is fired.

The media isn't the one giving us "fake news". It's Trump and his staff who say one thing one day and the opposite of it the next. Which story is true. If the leaks are "fake news", how can you prosecute the leakers?

If the leaks are false, why are your allies upset about the leaks?

Trump sent a budget to Congress which cuts $800 billion from Medicaid. His communication staff is supposed to sell this budget to the people. On Monday he tweeted that he should just increase the amount spent on healthcare to restore US healthcare to #1 in the world. Which one will he do? What should his staff now be saying.

You have to have coherent policy and a boss who doesn't tell lies to have a coherent and respected communications staff. Trump's staff has neither.

Obviously his communications staff has failed to inform you about his budget or the firing of Comey, but I doubt anyone would be able to inform you that anything the President does is not hateful. People like you who are not open to hearing what is said are just not relevant to the process.

That's the point. They try and Trump undermines every attempt they make to protect him. This is how it goes;

1. Trump Tweets something moronic
2. Spinmeisters go on TV and do the "What he meant to say was..."
3. Trump goes on TV and says the exact opposite of his "staff's" spin....leaving them spinning.

They're tired of being thrown under the bus.
