President Donald Trump called Katie Zacharia an attorney. Now she admits her law school told her not to use that word.

President Trump only has the most failed people in his cabinet. Never been a bigger or more failed group of peoples under one roof in the history of America

Now a part of that big beautiful roof is missing because of a ball-gag room he’s building for himself and his very many ~~pedophile~~ republican friends and donors.

Never been a bigger or more failed group of peoples under one roof in the history of America

Maybe the Metaverse dev team?

Failing upwards is the trump admin’s motto.

The Times also noted that the White House announcement described her as general counsel for Fix California,… A person familiar with her tenure told the Journal that she directed and served as the organization's point of contact for outside lawyers

This is a way way bigger deal than her calling herself a lawyer casually IMO. If someone studied law then in some technicality they can say theyre a “lawyer” without claiming to be an attorney.

But the phrase “General Counsel” is a title that specifically means someone is the head in-house attorney employed by a company. There is no ambiguity. That is absolutely false representation. She was basically a receptionist or coordinator for actual attorneys

Just read that Trump doesn't think she's a good fit and seems like he wants her to reconsider the job. We have a new mooch!
