This should be interesting.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced earlier this month that she'd be leaving her post with the administration of President Donald Trump.

Speculation immediately began as to who would replace her, but now the country can stop wondering. In a tweet, First Lady Melania Trump announced that her Director of Communications, Stephanie Grisham, would be taking over as the new White House Press Secretary at the end of the month.


Grisham has maintained a relatively low profile during her tenure with the First Lady, but reports have it that, like Sanders, she has a reputation for being firm and fiercely loyal to the First Lady and the president, both of whom she's worked with in various capacities since 2015.

Like other members of the Trump administration, Grisham has been reprimanded by the Office of the Special Counsel (unrelated to the Mueller investigation) for a Hatch Act violation for tweeting a Trump campaign slogan.

Grisham's soon-to-be predecessor has had a profound effect on one of the most visible positions in a presidential administration. Under Sanders, once-daily White House press briefings are a thing of the past. Sarah Huckabee Sanders hasn't held a White House briefing in over 100 days. She also became infamous for her tense relationships with certain White House correspondents, as well as her willingness to lie.

With Sanders changing the expectations of the press secretary position so immensely, people have one question for the incoming Grisham.

Given Sanders's lying and fellow former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's ineptitude, the expectations for Grisham are pretty low.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”
