Sean Spicer craps himself again, announces that Donald Trump is the new HUD Secretary

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

With all the sudden controversy surrounding Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the other Donald Trump allies who have been exposed this week for having colluded with Russia during the campaign, some other political news has gone under the radar. For instance, the Republican-controlled Senate quietly confirmed the new HUD Secretary today. But then Sean Spicer promptly announced the wrong person in the most unintentionally hilarious way possible.

Impeach Trump Now

Here’s a screen capture of a Twitter post that Sean Spicer made, and then deleted, from his official White House Press Secretary account today. See if you can spot what’s wrong here:

That’s right, Sean Spicer announced that Donald Trump is the new Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for the Donald Trump administration. We can confirm first hand that he really did post this tweet and it’s not a hoax, because a text alert immediately went out to those Twitter users with mobile notifications enabled, and that includes us. Spicer then replaced the tweet with a new one which correctly announced that Ben Carson has been confirmed as the new HUD Secretary. You know Ben Carson, the crazy guy who talks about Pyramids and claims he tried to murder his friend and who has no qualifications for the HUD job.

Mistakes happen. But as White House Press Secretary, Spicer’s lone job is to communicate. This is the same guy who recently referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “Joe Trudeau” and who can rarely get through a sentence without mangling the English language. Sean Spicer is consistently mocked for not being able to communicate, and yet that’s his one job. He should consider himself lucky that half the Trump administration imploded this week, so that his latest flub went under the radar.
