And so it doesn't seem equitable to fire Spicer for gross and perpetual dishonesty, ignorance and rudeness. If that were the standard, most of the Trump staff would need to go. The press has contempt for him and vice versa, but that shouldn't be grounds for firing him. After all, Trump thinks the media are "losers" and "the most dishonest people"; there's no reason that Spicer's attitude should cause alarm in this White House. Spicer doesn't know basic facts? The fellow who never seemed to grasp during the campaign what the nuclear triad is and until recently thought NATO (whose forces took part in Afghanistan) was not concerned with terrorism isn't exactly the sort of person to demand precision and accuracy, now is he?
