Almost as funny HRC tweet: Trump White House advertises at a Hill job fair amid staff exodus

You can't make up this stuff:No One Wants to Work at the White House So It’s Having a Job Fair on Friday

In early March, amid a spate of high-profile departures from the White House, President Trump claimed that, despite losing his communications director, staff secretary, and a speechwriter within the past few weeks, the West Wing was “great place to be working.”

“Believe me, everybody wants to work in the White House. They all want a piece of that Oval Office, they all want a piece of the West Wing,” he said. “I could take any position in the White House and I’ll have a choice of the ten top people having to do with that position, everybody wants to be there.” White House economic adviser Gary Cohn quit hours later.

Three months after Trump’s boasts, the steady stream of departing White House officials shows no sign of slowing, but the administration has a plan to replace them. It’s holding a job fair. The “Executive Branch Job Fair” is set for Friday at the Dirksen Senate Office Building and, according to a flier published by Politico, the Trump administration is looking for “competent conservatives” of “every experience level.”

Hey, I have an engineering degree! I should be almost as equally qualified as someone like Betty Vos et al.
