[superbeets]

'It's with a heavy heart, but tremendous gratitude, that I wish her well in her next steps.'

Stephanie Grisham, Hicks' counterpart in the East Wing as first lady Melania's communications director, also tweeted her well-wishes.


'Wishing Hope Hicks all the best! So very sad to see her go - professional, poised, talented & the best sense of humor,' Grisham tweeted.


With Hicks on the way out, Grisham remains part of a small cadre of Trump campaign veterans who commands the first family's trust.

Hicks was an unusually quiet and reserved White House communications director, avoiding drawing attention to herself despite serving in a job that's tailor-made for extroverts.


She never sat for a single interview during her time at Trump's side.


The president's longest-serving adviser in the world of politics, she accompanied him on the road throughout the grueling campaign and then moved to the White House, occupying a desk just feet from the Oval Office.


A veritable army of one in the campaign's early days, Hicks did everything from coordinating advance staffers and taking notes for Trump's speeches to helping him tape down the short end of his neckties and steaming his suits – while he was wearing them.


But a laughing Trump told a Christmastime rally in 2016 that she knew 'absolutely nothing' about politics when he moved her from Trump Tower into his unlikely presidential quest.

Put yer pecker back into your pants, Sick Brit Twit, and clean up that jizz. So, Twittler made one insult too many, huh? Hope, for her sake, that she didn't perjury when she spoke to Bloodhound Bob-a "little lie" is like being a "little pregnant" when you're speaking with him.

You will be missed

.less we forget,

Hope at her best



Through the rough: Hicks guided her boss through a day of press inquiries and photo-ops in June 2016 at his Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen, Scotland

Yet another casualty of the witch hunt.

So sad.

A loss for the American people.

A day later, and, STILL, nobody wants to explain the resignation of the Most Powerful Person in Washington(after Twittler)? I heard he yelled at her for being so stupid as to admit to "white lies." Personally, I think Mueller told her, you'll be happy later if you're not here soon, get yer ass outta here.
