I'll miss you guys. I know that's probably not something anyone would expect me to say but
obviously it's been great working with all of you and I think people don't realize about this job.
The briefings and what I just did on TV is 10 percent. 90 percent of it is taking all of your
calls at 5 in the morning and 11 p.m at night and I won't really miss that but I will miss
every day. So thanks for for being colleagues and I know the president will continue to take
your calls and provide you with statements every day until he assumes a replacement for the role.
So just thanks for for being partners here at the White House and good luck.
I will give my advice to whomever assumes the job and I think it's most important in this job to
understand that President Trump is his own best spokesperson and he we joke Stephen Chung and me
that he is the true communications director and press secretary here at the White House
and just understanding that knowing that and believing in the mission. I mean I think you
guys can all see I believe so much in my heart about what this president is doing every day,
the policies he's enacting. It's been an honor to speak on behalf of him and and to understand his
thinking and to relay it to all of you but also to the country over the past 20 months and then
again before that on the campaign. I'll still be around. I'm gonna just go to the other side so I
can spend some more time with my kids but again thanks for everything.
Hi Caroline, you mentioned you'll be working with MAGA Inc. and yesterday the president
you amplified a post on social media that said I don't think the GOP fully grasped how badly
they're effing up right now. You've previously said that some voters don't seem to like Republicans.
The president is wholeheartedly committed to helping Republicans across the board
retain the majority and I think voters across the country will be presented with a contrast
between everything this president and Republicans have done. Largest middle class tax cuts in
history, no tax on tips, overtime, social security for our seniors. Democrats in this town want to
talk a lot about affordability but they voted against the largest tax cuts in American history.
They voted against putting more money in people's pockets so you know president's going to Texas
tonight. He'll engage in a fundraiser to keep loading up Republicans' confers. There's obviously
a huge cash advantage on the president's side and he'll continue to go across the country,
meet with everyday Americans and and push his message until the very last day. President Trump,
there's no harder worker or a greater fighter in politics than him so you'll continue to see
him stay out there. I do have a meeting in the chief of staff's office that I'm going to get to
so I'm not late for my last meeting but thanks guys and I'll see you all soon. Take care.
