Trumps Communications Team Has a Full-Time Makeup Artist.

They need it!

Appearances are everything for the Trump administration, so the fact that its public faces, including Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, have a full-time makeup artist funded by taxpayer dollars on staff, should come as no surprise. But according to Politico, this stylist’s recommendation came from none other than Anthony Scaramucci, whose ten-day run as communications director continues to leave a shockingly large wake.

Professional stylist Katie Price, who formerly ran a bridal business called NOVAbelles and freelanced for clients like CNN and Russia Today (yes, you read that correctly), was hired during the Mooch’s tenure after he sung her praises during a CNN broadcast.

“The only thing I ask Sarah — Sarah, if you’re watching, I loved the hair and makeup person we had on Friday, so I’d like to continue to use the hair and makeup person,” Scaramucci said on camera.


Politico reports that Price was given a desk in the press office and the title of “production assistant” last fall. Including being on call for makeup duties, Price also answers phones and emails, escorts members of the press, and handles “wrangling duties” with other press assistants.

Since Bannon left, though, they may not need as many people replacing the Febreze cartridges.

Who on Earth with any degree of competence--or a desire to remain employed in the future--would ever want to work for them?

So they've got Cousin Edna's sister-in-law Mildred, who "ain't right in the head", but she just graduated from a correspondence cosmetology school.

Trump is the color of a tangerine; Conway looks like she's spent the last 40 years hitting cigarettes and whiskey way too hard; and SHS still looks like an overweight halibut who buys her clothes at a church rummage sale.

Meow.
