Sean Spicer admits he shut off television cameras during daily press briefings to get his boss — President Donald Trump — off his case.

The former White House press secretary, who resigned Friday over a personnel disagreement, stopped allowing cameras because he was tired of Trump complaining about his job performance, according to New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush.

“A lot of us assume, and I think the punditocracy assumed, this was an assault on broadcast journalism,” Thrush said in newspaper’s “The Daily” podcast. “In fact most of it was Spicer not wanting to be on camera so Donald Trump would not yell at him.”

Thrush pointed out that Trump had been angered when Spicer claimed Adolf Hitler had not gassed his own people, among other highly public missteps — and the press secretary restricted the media for his own personal gain.

“The principled prime mover of that decision amounted to Sean Spicer not wanting his boss watching him work,” Thrush said. “That is a fact.”

1. Working for Trump must be hell

I can't imagine the career that would have me do that. I don't think I could be in the same room as that pig.

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. Many reports from people who have worked for him...

As we would expect from what we have already seen and heard from him.
He is a serious micro-manager, ( which gives lie to his statements he did not know about things like meetings) who basically wants to tell people HOW to do their job.
He rages, throws things, threatens, and that infamous loyalty thing is strictly one way..cuts people loose in a nano-second.

I have been in places where rageaholics worked, it is not at all easy, even if they are not directing it at you.
fortunately, "hostile work environment" law can sometimes be an effective threat, or cure.

2. Bullies keep bullying because they get away with it. Why don't people stand up to assholes like him?

3. Because typically, standing up to Trump gets you fired.

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. Then great. Who wants to work for an asshole like that anyway?

This is when people have to search for and find their soul - clearly trump leaves a long path of morally bankrupt victims of his bullying.

14. $$$$$

As a seduction or captivator? Maybe he promises more money for loyalty? And or pays some of his peeps so well that they are willing to compromise their values and even tolerate abuse? I have known people who have put up with very ugly working environments because they were well paid. It doesn't seem too far fetched that Trump would exploit economic necessity or greed as a motivator.

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. that is a guarantee - he exploits a natural flaw in human beings.

5. Thank you, deplorables!

So Spicer subverted the transparency of the White House while assaulting the freedom of the press, all because he didn’t want his boss to see how bad he was at his job. The rest of us probably would just go take a nap in the storage closet.

6. Do they realize what a disaster SHS is will turn

Out to be?

Charmless

Clueless

Feckless

Brainless

YESsssssss!!!

Vicious mendacity matched only by hubristic incompetence

[Gothmog]

7. Trump watched these press conferences and attacked spicy after each conference

Not having these press conferences on TV made spicy's life easier. That is so very very sad

[TeamPooka]

9. Well, screw the American people's right to know, as long as things are easier for Spicey at work.

Fuck you Sean.
You cowardly little piece of shit.

[AwakeAtLast]

17. Yes, that is pathetic

But you know, 45 only hires the BEST people!

[Orsino]

11. I'm glad he wasn't inconvenienced at the end by the requirements of doing his fucking job.

He is a weakling who allowed himself to be jerked around by the biggest weakling on the planet.

[Hekate]

12. Let's see how long Sarah Hucks lasts with him watching her appearance. Living Hell. nt

[Ligyron]

13. Naw, he just didn't want to give SNL more ammo.

[Sunlei]

15. Biggest smile day he quit. "not wanting to be on camera so Donald Trump would not yell at him.

Wonder why he doesn't yell at Bannon & Mrs Huckabee & Kellyanne. perhaps he does yell at them and they just take that shit for the $$$$$$

What really sucks is his 11 year old son and the 2 grandkids see dad & grandfather treating people like crap. Terrible for children to see that.
