WHITE HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS director Michael Dubke has resigned.
Kellyanne Conway, White House advisory, told The Associated Press that Dubke handed in his resignation before President Donald Trump left for his international trip earlier this month.
In an interview on Fox News today, Conway said Dubke “made very clear that he would see through the president’s international trip, and come to work every day and work hard even through that trip because there was much to do here back at the White House.”

If only the The Journal put our own politicians under so much scrutiny…
@Owen Slattery:
I want to know this information about Trump. There has never been a political structure as mental as this US administration in Ireland.
@Owen Slattery: Trump is the leader of the free world so everything he does and says reverberates around it. Water meters in Ireland don’t cause geopolitical crises.
@John Smith: To be fair, John. The Trump administration will have to work pretty hard to do as much damage to the U.S. as the last Fianna Fáil Government did to Ireland.
@@angrymanwithissues: The damage is already done to the US, it’s a seriously messed up country.
And it’s true, what happens in Ireland is very minor when you consider the destruction Trump will cause to the world. So yes, of course we should be aware of what he’s doing.
The absolute absurdity of the journals policy of no red thumbs or hurts feely objections is clear here ,where two people get about equal support with virtually no apparent disagreemnet for totally opposing views .As the great orangutan himself would say , so sad !! However , it shows how dissenting voices are not liked by the supposed liberal media and academic institutions these days . I take it pavee point and other interest groups didnt like people rejecting their propoganda ?? You know what we need journal , more poll like . Would you like higher taxes , or do you like ice cream on sunny days !!
@Philip Gerard: leader of the free world is a catch phrase from the cold war. Trump is an idiot, full stop.
@@angrymanwithissues: comparing the US and its international influence to anything in Ireland is succumbing to the ridiculous illusion that Ireland has anything to say on the world stage. Get over yourselves.
@Philip Gerard: he’s no longer the leader of the so called free world. He’s abdicated that responsibility by making clear that he cares only for America and of course his own enrichment. I’ll take Merkel anytime.
@John D: I can’t stand the man or most of his supporters, but facts are facts.
@Philip Gerard: Leader of the gree world, what does that even mean? That he’s the one with the biggest stick?
@John Smith: Well the White House is a very big building, people will get lost. Maybe he should make all his staff wear ankle bracelets with tracking devices :-)
@David Stapleton: pretty much
For those interested in applying for the role of Whitehouse communications director, a degree in childcare is essential.
@No To Forced Births!: and a masters in codology.
I’m just surprised they managed to keep it quiet for 12 whole days.
@Larry Doyle: It is very difficult to leak info out to the press when you have been wrapped in duct tape and forced to resign. Hello ?
The house of cards continue to fall
The new season of the other House of Cards is out on Netflix today. It used to be a dramatisation of reality, I’m not so sure anymore
@Tweety McTweeter: I’m interested in how they can better what’s going on in reality. Frank Underwood is a lot more likeable as a person than Trump.
What a clusterfuuck
Do they ever talk to anyone but Fox News?? Surely they know Fox is seen as a joke among sane people?
@Rob Cahill: The politico/morning consult poll disagrees with you (halfway down page). http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/05/29/liberal-boycott-of-sean-hannity-backfires-and-puts-multiple-msnbc-stars-in-crosshairs/
I’m wondering how many journalists around the world he keeps in work. One thing is probably certain and that is whoever comes after him is going to seem boring or maybe people might enjoy the silence unless they are addicted to Trump drama. There might be clinics for people going through Trump Turkey.
@Patrick J. O’Rourke: Imagine the series that Netflix could come up with this, they wouldn’t even need writers!
Netflix original – sex, urine, spies, lies, false truths, muppets, incest! Guess stars including Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel
that be a great series!
Just the first rat… Others will follow as ship continues to slowly sink into the swamp.
Entropy, disaster, crises and incompetence continue to assail the Trump Administration.
Perhaps Trump is not up to the job, even leaving aside his horrible values, dreadful ethics and nasty temperament.
Trump-Like he was there and then I turned around and he was gone ………..like there one minute we were discussing terrorism and the Russians and the FBI and then puff he was gone …………he must be lost or something …. yea that’s it ……..I tweeted about it
Fake President.
He needs to stop the leaks they are paralysing decision-making
@Rosa Parks: Russian prostitute leaks?
@Charlie Kavanagh: that’s only a rumour put about by opposition research during the Republican primary. It was not acquired through intelligence.
@Rosa Parks: neither was the presidency.
@Charlie Kavanagh: Lol! Love it!
It won’t it looks after its own.
Why do so many people confuse reality with fictional television? The references to HoC are puerile in nature but dangerous for the future. It reminds of the time Ryan Tubridy referred to Martin Sheen as President Bartlett 3 times in one interview. Way to many Irish people have a West Wing view of US/Global affairs.
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST..HE MUST BE A GREAT MAN TO WORK FOR
Is KELLY Ann back ? Thought she was silenced as a liability
have your say
