Katie Zacharia outed by the media

Becoming press secretary to President Donald Trump is hard enough but to accept that job when you know you have skeletons in the cupboard which will get out is like being a matador facing a ferocious bull without his muleta - the red cloak he swings in the raging animal's path to distract him. Katie Zacharia arrived in front of the White House press corps on her first day as Trump's press secretary without any form of protection. In fact, from the moment she opened her mouth, you knew she was going to be in serious trouble with the baying press corps. It was brutal to watch. She claimed to be a lawyer but it turned out she wasn't. She had failed her bar exam - in China - and althougb she has a law degree she has no other credential that allow her to be described as a practising attorney. Attorney, she ain't. That and the fact she couldn't string words together properly and only managed to answer three questions. Then, lto ater, she appeared on Fox News before the arch interrogator, Sean Hannity, and fell into a deep hole. Again, it was brutal. Trump showed he has a kind side to him because he literally invited her to step down if she wasn't happy. So, she did, after just five days in the post. The lesson? Never take on the media unless you are really sure of yourself and totally sure your credentials for the job will stand up to scrutiny.
