The credibility gap that has plagued official spokespeople for Donald Trump resulted in hilarious responses after she began her latest defense of the president with, “Let’s be honest.”

It started when Washington Post reporter David Nakamura noted an unfortunate young man who was stuck sitting next to Trump as the commander-in-chief issued a lie-filled rant about the “overthrow of government” in America.

This young man was invited to a White House roundtable on school choice but he had to sit there as Trump denounced the FBI’s Russia investigation as an attempted “overthrow of government”–even though IG called probe legitimate and not political. pic.twitter.com/WdaYLudGnx

Grisham, who has yet to deliver a daily White House press briefing, attempted to blame the press for Trump’s rant.

Let’s be honest: the press are invited into roundtables & events on specific topics almost every day – and our guests have to “sit there” as they shout questions on subjects completely unrelated to the event at hand. As always, the hypocrisy here is stark. https://t.co/S7JxDsgf3u

Grisham was brutally mocked for making such a statement with her credibility issues.

Former Bill Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart blasted Grisham in a reply.

“Let’s be a little more honest. Most Presidents don’t talk about attempts to overthrow the government and denounce his own FBI in front of anyone,” Lockhart noted. “No excuse for your guy. Sorry that young man had to hear it.”

Here’s some more of what people were saying:

No one thinks you’re ever honest.

Maybe you could hold actual daily briefings. Isn’t that why we pay you?

Let’s be honest: you don’t work & yet we pay you a six figure salary.
As always, the grifting in this administration is stark.

Maybe put down the bottle and have a press conference then?

When’s your next @WhiteHouse presser, Steph?

— Elizabeth Thorp (@ElizabethEThorp) December 9, 2019

Yes, let’s be honest! Maybe if you actually did your damn job and held press briefings, instead of running to your safe place at Fox “News”, then these questions wouldn’t be yelled out at times like this. https://t.co/8D3Si5jwRY

Are you fucking kidding, @PressSec? The reason journalists have to shout questions about any and all topics is because you refuse to hold ANY press conferences, in a massive break from decades of tradition. You’re a utter joke, doing nothing but spouting Soviet-style propaganda. https://t.co/U4e1DM7yNA

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman told CNN on Friday that Kanye’s Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump did not go over well with White House staff, who were left feeling “hugely embarrassed” for the “speechless and confused” president.

“This was very much a Jared Kushner show,” said Haberman. “Kushner brought Kanye West in to talk about prison reform and job opportunities for inmates after they get out of prison and then this lunch was put on the president’s calendar.”

“You can see Jared Kushner there looking very happy, his wife Ivanka Trump not looking quite as happy,” Haberman added. “That represented the split that you saw within the White House.”

“I heard from other West Wing aides who were hugely embarrassed that that had happened, thought that was not a good look, that this is not a rock concert,” she said.

“The main sentiment I have heard,” Haberman said, “is why have we taken what was a pretty good week for the president with Kavanaugh, which is something that Republican candidates heading into the midterms would probably rather be talking about, and why are we now doing ‘Kanye Week’?”

Watch the video below.

The Trump White House Friday morning touted the news that the gross domestic product (GDP), a chief economic indicator, came in strong at 4.1% growth. Supplementing a statement made by President Trump outside the West Wing an hour earlier, the White House Communications Team, under the new direction of former Fox News co-president Bill Shine, posted a graphic to Twitter.

In it, they spelled “United States” wrong. It reads, “United Sates.”

It remained up for well over three hours.

Here’s a screenshot:

Naturally, the mocking was extreme:

Also Obama’s White House could spell “United States.”

HOW IS THIS STILL UP OH MY GOD

— Hunter Felt (@HunterFelt) July 27, 2018

Where are the United Sates?

Others made clear that regardless of spelling, 4.1% growth is not as amazing as Trump would ike Americans to believe:

If you include Obama’s leadership, this growth would rank 5th.

– 5.1% Q2 2014
– 4.9% Q3 2014
– 4.7% Q4 2011
– 4.5% Q4 2009
– 4.1 % Q2 2018
