Spicer spends Monday's briefing trying to cover for a days-long deluge of Trump doozies

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

White House press secretary Sean Spicer had the special task Monday—even by Trump-era standards—of trying to cover for a witless leader who in the last several days has cozied up to brutal foreign leaders (plural!), weighed the upsides of a gas tax, and walked out of an interview that was frankly just a little too reality-based for him. Here’s just a glimpse of Spicey trying to walk back Trump’s deluge of doozies.

Good god, what is Spicer talking about? Kim Jong Un leads the country Trump tagged just last week as being on a collision course with the U.S. for a “major, major conflict.” Now Spicey’s tapping Un as a “forward“ mover? Yep! (BTW, if you’re wondering about Trump extending a White House invite to murderous Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte, Spicer confirmed that Trump was “fully briefed” on his abysmal human rights record.) Next?

In other words, he doesn’t want to offend a special interest group, but he’s fine with alienating all those everyday voters out there who don’t have the agency to gain an audience with him like a special interest group did. Now there’s some political spin you probably didn’t think of—and that’s why you’re not Trump’s press secretary.

And then Spicer revisited Trump’s 100-day capstone interview with CBS’s John Dickerson, in which Dickerson asked Trump just a few too many questions about his baseless charge that President Obama wiretapped his phones and was a “bad or sick” guy. 

“You stand by that claim about him?” the nettlesome Dickerson asked, to which Trump retorted, “I don’t stand by anything.”

1. That's an understatement for the week.

Given his track record for flipping on a variety of subjects, it's NO SURPRISE to hear he doesn't stand by anything.

2. Shouty Spice is just putting putting in his time until he can get the hell outta there...

He needs to be able to put on paper that he worked as a high level govt executive so he can go get that cush job as exxons president of public relations. If he can bullshit his way through the first 6 months of Trumps presidency, he can surely handle things when the transpacific pipeline blows a leak later...

Don't kid yourself he isn't a true believer, just self-serving and greedy.

3. If he can work as a rabbit his options are endless. n/t
