Sarah Sanders, Raj Shah planning to depart the White House
That CBS article went on:
Why is Trump’s staff turnover higher than the 5 most recent presidents?
This might be the lamest thing I've ever said, but I like Sarah. She was boring. She was patient. She was good at the damage control aspect of the job. It settled things down.
Hopefully the WH press corps is getting ahead of itself here, and this is "fake news". If not, this President needs to get a damn grip on his Communications wing. How many Press Secretaries and Comm Directors are we at, now?
I left the link in that quote box to the story that Sanders "doesn't deny" the story. The confusion stems from this tweet:CBS News said:Two of the most visible members of the Trump administration are planning their departures, the latest sign of upheaval in a White House marked by turmoil.
Press secretary Sarah Sanders and principal deputy press secretary Raj Shah are both heading for the exits, according to sources inside the White House and close to the administration. Sanders, who has become a confidante of President Trump since the departure of former communications director Hope Hicks, has told friends that she plans to leave the administration at the end of the year.
Shah is also considering his exit, but he has not yet settled on an exact date. Neither Sanders nor Shah responded to repeated requests for comment before this story was published. When reached Wednesday evening, both declined to comment on the record, and Sanders tweeted that she is "honored to work for @POTUS."
That CBS article went on:
It also mentions this intellectual, Kathryn Dunn Tenpas, who works at the prestigious, liberal Brookings Institution and her work:Numerous staffers have left the White House over the last several months, some voluntarily and others having been forced out. Those departures include Hicks; Jared Kushner's top communications aide, Josh Raffel; homeland security adviser Tom Bossert; National Security Council spokesman Michael Anton; Trump personal aide John McEntee; director of White House message strategy Cliff Simms; communications aide Steven Cheung; congressional communications director Kaelan Dorr; assistant press secretary Natalie Strom; and deputy director of media affairs Tyler Ross.
So I googled her and found this article from their depot:"If the White House were a private-sector business", Tenpas said the level of turnover among senior staffers would result in the "stock and shareholders ... going nuts."
