President Trump Selects Hope Hicks as White House Interim Communications Director

President Trump has chosen longtime aide and confidant Hope Hicks to replace Anthony Scaramucci as White House Communications Director.

From <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_Hicks">Wikipedia</a>:

<i>”She previously served as the press secretary and early communications director for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, as well as the national press secretary for his presidential transition team."</i>

<i>”In January 2017, Hicks was included on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, having "served as a one-woman press team for Trump's historic presidential campaign."</i>

<i>”Hope Hicks comes from a long family line of public service in the political realm, with many members of her family working for politicians and corporations."</i>

<i>”Hicks grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut. She is the daughter of Caye Ann Hicks and Paul Burton Hicks III."</i>

<i>”Her father was Regional CEO, Americas of Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, and executive vice president of communications for the National Football League from 2010 to 2015, before his current position of managing director of the Glover Park Group."</i>

<i>”Her parents met while in Washington, DC, while her mother was a legislative aide for a Democratic congressman from Tennessee Ed Jones, and her father was Chief of Staff for a Republican congressman from Connecticut Stewart B. McKinney, and married in 1982."</i>

<i>”Her late paternal grandfather, Paul Hicks, headed public relations for Texaco."</i>

<i>”Her maternal grandfather, G.W.F. "Dutch" Cavender, was assistant administrator for the US Department of Agriculture During the administrations of Presidents Johnson and Nixon."</i>

<i>”Hicks was a teenage model, including for a Ralph Lauren campaign with her older sister Mary Grace at age 11 and as the face of the Hourglass Adventure Novels about a time-traveling 10 year old child.”</i>

<i>”Hicks started in public relations with the New York City firm, Zeno Group."</i>

<i>”In 2012 she began working at Hiltzik Strategies, a public relations firm in New York that works with Ivanka Trump and the Trump Organization."</i>

<i>”She and her sister, who is now a paramedic, lived above a dive bar in Greenwich, but she split her time between that apartment and a Trump-owned apartment in Manhattan that Trump provided for free, until Trump was elected and she moved to Washington, DC."</i>

<i>”Hicks began working for public relations firm Hiltzik Strategies in 2012, working for its client Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump's daughter, on her fashion line, and then on other Trump ventures."</i>

<i>”In August of 2014 she joined the Trump Organization full time where Hicks worked for Ivanka Trump inside Trump Tower, helping expand her fashion label (the Ivanka Trump Collection) and modeling for her online store."</i>

<i>”Five months later, Donald Trump earmarked Hicks, who was 26 years old at the time, for the role of press secretary in January of 2015 when planning for his potential presidential run."</i>

<i>”Donald Trump summoned her to his office and, as she tells it, "Mr. Trump looked at me and said, 'I'm thinking about running for president, and you're going to be my press secretary.’"</i>

<i>”Until that time, she had never worked in politics, nor volunteered on a campaign."</i>

<i>”After Trump's first primary victories, Hicks was asked to choose between staying with the Trump Organization or working on the campaign full time. She initially decided to leave the campaign, but Trump convinced her to remain and she stayed on as press secretary."</i>

<i>”During the campaign, she played the role of gatekeeper to press members who wanted to speak with Trump, handling over 250 requests a day, and deciding which reporters would be allowed to speak with him. "</i>

<i>”Hicks also takes dictation from Trump for his tweets, and then sends them to another person in the Trump organization who actually sends out the tweet from Trump's official account."</i>

<i>”When in New York City, she would spend most of her day sitting in Trump's office, handling inquiries from the press and taking dictation from him to tweet."</i>

<i>”The demands of the campaign took a personal toll, as they caused a breakup between Hicks and her boyfriend of six years showing her dedication to her career and service. "</i>

<i>”On December 22nd of 2016, it was announced that Hicks would become part of the Trump Administration, in the newly created position of the White House Director of Strategic Communications. "</i>
