"... the genius of our great President."

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham’s made commentators’ jaws drop by attacking a former Donald Trump official as “totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great President.”

The comment was prompted by former Chief of Staff John Kelly saying in an interview he ... warned Trump about hiring “yes men.”

Grisham: “I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great President.”

Twitter immediately lit up with reactions to Grisham’s quote, which many noted appeared to cross a line from defending Trump to something you might hear in North Korean propaganda material.

(In 2007, Grisham was the spokeswoman for AAA of Arizona. She also worked for Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign.)

I will never forget John Kelly's lie about Florida Rep Frederica Wilson and his failure to apologize when the facts were presented.
May they all destroy themselves live on TV. Not one of them is a genius. They make average incompetents look good.

Who somehow seem to think that being in the presence of one thought to be wealthy will cause large amounts of money to rub off and stick to them, shielding them from all things related to human decency.

Towards the end, Reince Priebus became one of the major suck-ups in the room saying, "On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, Mr. President, we thank you for the opportunity and blessing you've given us to serve your agenda and the american people and we're continuing to work very hard every day to accomplish those goals."
