Analysis: America’s most unfillable job — managing Trump’s communications — is again unfilled
Bill Shine. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow March 8 at 12:53 PM In all honesty, it’s hard to imagine what a day in the life of a White House communications director would even look like under President Trump.
Bringing over Fox News veteran Bill Shine to try to corral Trump seemed, on paper, like a decent idea. After all, who better to get the president on-message than the guy who’d helped do so indirectly for the first few months of Trump’s presidency as a leader of Trump’s favorite network? For about 30 percent of Trump’s presidency, there’s been no full-time communications director. Meaning that for two out of every seven days of Trump’s administration, the job has been held by an acting director or no one at all.
