Donald Trump just killed off Sean Spicer
Rick Wilson famously said that everything Trump touches dies. That’s always been true, but over the past week that trend has begun accelerating at a rapid pace. In some instances it’s been because he’s just radioactively unpopular and corrupt. In other instances it’s been because of bad luck. In still other instances it’s been because his people suck in general. But wow is Trump killing off his own allies left and right.
Earlier this evening Donald Trump tweeted his support for his former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who is now a contestant on Dancing With The Stars. Well, Sean Spicer was a contestant on Dancing With The Stars, because shortly after Trump voiced his support, Spicer got kicked off the show.
This comes after Donald Trump attended an Alabama college football game this weekend, only for Alabama to suffer a very rare home loss. And of course last week Trump held a rally for Kentucky’s Republican Governor Matt Bevin, who then somehow managed to lose his reelection bid in a red state.
Sure, Spicer lost on DWTS because he’s a terrible dancer, and Alabama lost the football game for football reasons. These losses didn’t have much to do with Donald Trump’s involvement. But the loss in Kentucky was a reminder that Trump has truly become too unpopular and neutered to make anything happen for his allies – and the football and reality show losses were just icing on the cake.
