Since his job as WH comm director was basically just promoting Trump, there will be no effective difference.

just that he would be supporting the campaign. Of course he will be paid, but they didn't list him as having a specific position.

Curious.

The campaign itself is already a trainwreck. It is being headed up by that putz of a data director. It has no real staff other than that which raises funds and puts on rallies.

It's a money collector, not a political campaign. It doesn't really need much in the way of comms.

begin snip....

Bones,’’ which ran on Fox’s broadcast network from 2005 to 2017, was always a well-rated show though never one of TV’s biggest hits. The judge criticized senior Fox executives, including Peter Rice, Gary Newman and Dana Walden. Rice and Walden are both joining Walt Disney Co. once that company completes its acquisition of some of Fox’s entertainment assets.

The Feb. 4 arbitration award includes $129 million in punitive damages to “punish Fox for its reprehensible conduct and deter it from future wrongful conduct.”
