You can't make up this stuff:No One Wants to Work at the White House So Its Having a Job Fair on Friday
In early March, amid a spate of high-profile departures from the White House, President Trump claimed that, despite losing his communications director, staff secretary, and a speechwriter within the past few weeks, the West Wing was great place to be working.
Believe me, everybody wants to work in the White House. They all want a piece of that Oval Office, they all want a piece of the West Wing, he said. I could take any position in the White House and Ill have a choice of the ten top people having to do with that position, everybody wants to be there. White House economic adviser Gary Cohn quit hours later.
Three months after Trumps boasts, the steady stream of departing White House officials shows no sign of slowing, but the administration has a plan to replace them. Its holding a job fair. The Executive Branch Job Fair is set for Friday at the Dirksen Senate Office Building and, according to a flier published by Politico, the Trump administration is looking for competent conservatives of every experience level.
