President Donald Trump’s close personal assistant played a key role in his disastrous hire of Katie Zacharia, a new report has revealed.

Zacharia’s hiring as press secretary, a position she held for less than five days before being fired, was “furthered along with the strong input” of Trump’s fellow blonde aide, Natalie Harp, 35, sources tell Axios.

    I think the unvetted “lawyer” who “passed” the bar in China is being overlooked a bit. I feel like we were just straight up told this was an unregistered foreign agent that the admin choose to hire as press secretary with no background check.

    That our “president” is taking staffing advice from an uneducated bimbo should speak volumes about why America is the way it is.

      That 30% of America supports this behavior and the other 70% isn’t willing to take drastic measures about it also speaks volumes about why America is the way it is.

        It’s a failed state. What we have now is just a husk used as a tool for wealth extraction.

      The most distressing part about this disaster of an administration is that Trump can’t do all this stuff himself. He has tons of enablers.

      The only good thing about Trump taking advice from Harp is that he’s listening to anybody at all. We’ve all seen what happens when Trump tries to think for himself. He just prattles on about windmills killing whales and whether he’d rather be in the water with batteries or sharks and other completely brain dead shit.

      What an ignorant insult to honest, hardworking bimbos everywhere?

      She’s not a bimbo, she’s just a female version of whatever flowery term for dumb asshole that they regularly use for you locally.

      Harp was an anchor at newsmax or oan. One of the two.

      She was creepy about her trump worship while on air, and apparently has gotten worse since.

      She controls trumps social media, except for trumps use of grok, which is his other main advisor.

      I’ve not heard about any foreign government ties, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

      But harp does seem to be the true believer type. Obsessive even.
