    It’s not an easy job being Spicey.

    The White House Press Secretary dug his own grave during his first press conference, insisting that his overlord’s inauguration crowd was the biggest in history.

    Never mind all the photos and evidence, and since that day Spicer has been the subject of much ridicule.

    Most of it comes via the media, who pummel him with press conferences at the (no longer) daily briefings, and there’s plenty coming from the Democrats too.

    Enter Steve Bannon, the walking liver spot, who is now fat shaming a fellow Trumper. This from Vanity Fair:

    …reporter Rosie Grayasked White House chief strategist Steven Bannon to explain why Spicer was holding fewer on-camera pressers, the chief strategist’s response was even more humiliating. “Sean got fatter,” he replied, via text. He offered no follow-up.

    That’s really rich coming from Bannon:

    One person who wasn’t pleased with the fat shaming was Chelsea Clinton, who took to Twitter to stand up for Spicey:

    Bannon’s joke is pretty poorly timed at best, given how the White House is coming under increasing pressure for their lack of transparency. This from the Atlantic:

    …the White House’s daily press briefings have been pared progressively further back; they are now shorter, less frequent, and routinely held off-camera.

    …instead of canceling [sic] them entirely, the White House has appeared to embrace a different strategy: simply downgrading them bit by bit, from “briefings” to “gaggles,” and from on-camera to off-camera. Guidance for the briefings have begun to include a note that audio from them cannot be used. Additionally, though Trump has held short press conferences when foreign leaders visit, he has not held a full press conference since February.

    Probably because Trump knows he has ‘got fatter’.

    Jokes, it’s all the scandals and lies and his total inability to string a coherent off-the-cuff sentence together.

    The final word here can go to Vanity Fair once more, because I too hope this is how it all played out:

    …we like to think that as he scrolled through his phone and saw the former First Daughter’s tweets, he softly whispered “Thank you, Chelsea” before attending a meeting in Bannon’s office in which he totally agreed the humorless left can’t take a joke and that he wasn’t hurt at all by the slight.

     At least he no longer has to wear a bunny suit…
