pretty dysfunctional. >> i don't think so at all, jake. keep in mind the communications director spot has been open for a while here and so anthony was coming in to fill it. i think sean took a look at the situation and said, you know what, i'm going to give anthony to opportunity to build this out but i will take a moment here to say that i am disappointed that sean is leaving. i think in a lot of ways, sean has been one of the rocks that's been helping to hold this administration together on the messaging side. sean is someone who's been doing this for 20 years. he's a very professional, very sharp operator, someone who definitely knows what he's doing. he's an absolute first class professional. i'm disappointed to see him go. i'm glad he's going to be staying around through august to help with the transition period. and you know, the good thing for sean, i'm sure he's going to be able to sleep in this weekend and making a lot more money in whatever he goes and does next. >> let's bring in rick wilson, a long-time republican strategist and he has been critical of president trump. rick, you were laughing during that little -- the remarks by jason miller.
