White House rattled by McCarthy's spoof of Spicer

Trump 'doesn't like his people to look weak,' a top Trump donor said.

As the press secretary for a president who's obsessed with how things play on cable TV, Sean Spicer’s real audience during his daily televised press briefings has always been an audience of one.

And the devastating “Saturday Night Live” caricature of Spicer that aired over the weekend — in which a belligerent Spicer was spoofed by a gum-chomping, super soaker-wielding Melissa McCarthy in drag — did not go over well internally at a White House in which looks matter.

More than being lampooned as a press secretary who makes up facts, it was Spicer’s portrayal by a woman that was most problematic in the president’s eyes, according to sources close to him. And the unflattering send-up by a female comedian was not considered helpful for Spicer’s longevity in the grueling, high-profile job in which he has struggled to strike the right balance between representing an administration that considers the media the "opposition party," and developing a functional relationship with the press.

"Trump doesn't like his people to look weak," added a top Trump donor.

1. Do you think women are weak, Assface?

You seem terrified of quite a few women.

2. If we are lucky enough to remove Trump from office before

this country we love is a charred ruin, the epitaph of the Trump 'administration' will be...


ALL HAT, NO CATTLE.


Otherwise known as all looks no substance.

3. You know what?

I know plenty of strong women. Women that are stronger than men (perhaps not physically but you should know what I mean). Shit. Stronger than me. If you can't handle strong women, youre a weak, ineffectual pussy! (Sorry to the politically correct here, but it's time to call a spade a spade.) If you're biggest complaint is your press secretary was lampooned by a woman? Yeah, piss off. You ain't worth the cloth in your I'll fitting suit.
