Based on this article, which is the only limited information I have been able to find on the girl. How did she get to be Communications Director? Why is she paid the same salary as the chief of staff and how is her attitude, a stark contrast from The Mooch, going to keep this President in check? I think all those looking to Hope to fix this problem are going to be shocked that a 28 year old with no experience in such matters can't do it, because she likes to "please," Trump. :)

[she] is prized for her ability to be docile, pretty, and very, very quiet. Never would’ve guessed.

Behold This Glorious Profile of Hope Hicks, Donald Trump's Oddly Quiet 27-Year-Old Press Secretary


Also there's this curious quote from ABC:
her "typical workday could include a major meeting, an all-day event or even an out-of-state trip."

There was also speculation on some tabloids that Hope Hicks is actually Trump's mistress but I won't go that far until we get those microwave tapes from the oval office.

She worked in PR before this, how is that not experience in this?

A few years in PR does not mean that you should be the gate keeper that everyone hopes will save the Presidency and keep his tweets in check. Especially since she apparently is egging him on. Hardly the "best" person for the job. There are far more qualified people. Especially, conservative media people with decades of experience. Something tells me that Trump did not hire her solely for her expertise.
 
Judging by her first and last name sharing the same letter, I believe she may be an escaped Marvel character. If so, that would explain her limited character development, a lot of their new heroes have been somewhat... undercooked.

Fairly sure, you'd saying nothing would make her able to have the job.
Not to mention that you're including tabloid gossip in your post, to libel people you don't even know.

Um, I just said that there were media PR people who have had her age in experience. Why doesn't Trump hire them? Oh right, they aren't 100% yes men.

Because he wants her, she has worked for him in the past and maybe he trusts her.
I curious how you know there are others who are objectively better.

As I said, yes men. This guy wants loyalty above all else. It doesn't matter if you can't do your job or if you actually are qualified for the job.

He wouldn't say that if she was a man. These kind of sexist comments are disgusting.

At 28 years old, she'd better be some sort of wunderkind.

Given the performances from most of Trump's inner circle, color me skeptical.

We'll have to see.
With people like her, I just don't see the need to prejudge them like this.
She's not really an "anything" in politics, she may do well or she may fail.

I find it intensely hard to believe there aren't infintely more qualified people out there. Hell, half the on-air staff at Fox News does a better job of wiping this "president's" ass than a 28-year-old with limited experience could even dream of.

Oh wait. She worked for Ivanka's fashion line. Clearly qualified.

We've already established she was in PR.
We've also established that loyalty is part of jobs with power structures like president.

The question is that, why are we so concerned about her.
It she fails, she fails and it's on them.

It's not so much apologism as it's thinking you people are nit pickers "cuz Trump."

Yes, wondering why her after such stunning success stories as Spicer, Flynn, Priebus, Scaramucci, Bannon, Miller and Sessions (among others) is "nit-picking."

All these people were in the same position as Hicks?
I think you folks are just nit picking.

If she ****s up, then it's on them.
You have no idea what's going to happen or her capabilities.

So, in other words, since nobody can predict the future, it's not up for discussion.

Good to know, Miss Cleo.

Please inform us what isn't "nit picking," lest we offend your sensibilities next time.

Funny I was thinking "Miss Cleo" about the op and yourself.
You can discuss it and I will think you're silly for attempting to predict what will happen.
Most of you folks here, have done an abysmal job of predicting anything.

She also has that quiet person look that screams

"I will eat your heart, and floss with your soul.. don't try me bitch"

Yet we don't get relevant back story on the heart eating, or soul flossing method until issue #16. But somehow managed to get filled in on the grossly overpowered vaginal death laser in issue #2...

Damn you Stan Lee... damn you...

Please link to the post in which I predicted what would happen.

Seems to me you're implying it with this.
That she's another to fall.

If not, then my bad.
