Trump Appoints New Communications Director

President Trump’s longtime aide Hope Hicks will serve as the interim White House director of communications and will help the president find a permanent person for the job, according to a senior administration official.


However temporary it is, it was the latest reshuffling in the White House and comes at a time when the president’s remarks on White nationalist demonstrators were drawing fire from Democrats and Republicans.

The role of communications director is to set a clear and direct message coming from the White House each day.
