In the interminable 17 months that Donald Trump has been president, the administration has struggled mightily to find and keep a communications director. Sean Spicer held the job for about 45 days before he was replaced by Mike Dubke who resigned after just three months. Spicer was then brought in as acting director, only to quit in protest when Anthony Scaramucci was hired. The Mooch lasted a grand total of 10 days, until an on-the-record obscenity-fueled rant to a New Yorker reporter went viral and he was canned. His successor, Hope Hicks, stuck it out the longest—225 days—until she quit and hightailed it back to Connecticut. Since March 29, 2018, the role has been vacant, considering the fact that it’s a thankless job in which one will ultimately be blamed by the president for being unable to curtail stories about what a train wreck the administration is. But praise the gods of right-wing cable news, Trump has finally found someone willing to run his press shop.

ABC News reports that Bill Shine, a former Fox News co-president, has been offered, and has accepted, the role of deputy chief of staff for communications, with a formal announcement from the White House expected by the end of the week. In tapping Shine, Trump is effectively solidifying the idea that Fox News is state-run TV—a political sandbox where Trump floats his dumbest ideas in the morning, tweeting back and forth with the hosts of Fox & Friends, and then gets to hear his moronic ramblings echoed back to him at night as received wisdom. The ex-executive is still tight with primetime star Sean Hannity, who’s well known to be the president’s most trusted unofficial adviser, and favorite pre-bedtime phone call. “He’s already outsourced a lot of his communications stuff to Fox News,” a Republican close to the White House told Politico of Trump. “He has a tremendously close relationship with Hannity, so he’s going to put Hannity’s guy in there.”

But while Shine may bring more experience to a comms job than, say, the Mooch—not to mention the millions of devoted Fox viewers who are likely to get behind the pick—he does potentially come with one teeny-tiny problem:

. . . some of the president’s allies fear that he’s bringing in a target of the “Me Too” movement who will focus more attention on the president’s own problems with women.

Shine, who for years served as former Fox chief Roger Ailes’s right-hand man, was ousted from the network over his handling of sexual harassment claims.

Fox News contributor Julie Roginsky filed a lawsuit against Shine last year, accusing him of failing to investigate multiple harassment accusations against Ailes that were brought to him directly. A second former Fox employee accused him in a lawsuit of helping to arrange for secret rendezvous with Ailes by booking her travel.

(Through a spokesperson, Shine confirmed to New York magazine in July 2016 that he called former Fox event planner Laurie Luhn to New York for booking meetings; Roginsky’s case against Shine was eventually settled.)

On the other hand, it’s not at all clear that Trump cares!

[Such things] may be less of a concern for his new boss, said the Republican close to the White House. “For Trump, these are temporary positions,” the source said, noting that Trump wants a communications change-up now and will deal with any fallout later.

“Trump figures what better way to give a F--k you to the media folks,” the Republican source told Politico, “than by picking someone they hate.”
