Trump fires White House spokesperson Katie Zacharia after just 5 days

Katie Zacharia has been fired as White House spokesperson after just five days in her role, according to the New York Times. This decision was communicated by President Donald Trump, who suggested that Zacharia should "reconsider" her position.

Her tenure began in place of Caroline Leavitt, but it quickly attracted controversy following her debut at the briefing with reporters. During this short period, concerns about her professional qualifications emerged, including the fact that she did not pass the bar exam in California.

Sources report that Trump's decision to remove Zacharia comes amid criticisms of her and questions about her career. Remarkably, Zacharia set a new record for brevity in the role, surpassing the previous record held by Anthony Scaramucci, who lasted ten days during the president's first term.

Several international outlets, including ANSA and Folha de S.Paulo, have confirmed the news of the firing. Sources cited by ANSA added that Zacharia's absence raises questions about who might succeed her as spokesperson, with influencer Maga Loomer being suggested by some.

In her final statements, Katie Zacharia praised Trump, implying that she maintains a positive relationship with the president despite her removal from the role. According to Sky TG24, Trump commented that the position might not be suitable for her, reinforcing doubts about her capabilities in this role.

The communication process within the White House continues to be scrutinized, with the frequent turnover of spokespersons becoming a recurring theme. Zacharia's brief tenure as spokesperson highlights the challenges of her role in one of the most controversial administrations in U.S. history.
