The White House political communication department seems to be in chaos. First, Sean Spicer resigned as press secretary after Anthony Scaramucci was hired as communications director. Then John Kelly was hired as chief of staff and fired Scaramucci just 10 days after the communications director started. This firing calls into question whether or not Spicer will still resign since the reason he cited for leaving was Scaramucci.
Today we are talking about White House political communication, strategy and messaging in the Trump administration.
