White House Pooler Issues Correction To Make It Clear That, Unlike The Media, "The President Will NOT Have A Low-Key Day"

It’s Thanksgiving Eve ladies and gentlemen, a lot of mailing it in will be taking place throughout the day. I can feel the mailing-it-in-ness from here. All you cube monkeys taking 2 hours to write that one email, hit send, then scurry out the office in time for noon-hour lunch beer or two. It’s a beautiful thing. That’s a low-key Thanksgiving Eve. The White House press pool is also expected to be having a low-key day. You know who will not be having a low-key day? President Trump. That motherfucker simply doesn’t have low-key days; if you thought he did, you are a moron.

Strong stuff move from the pooler here, using the original Press Report No. 1 to lull folks into a sense of comfort and relaxation on Thanksgiving Eve, to get ‘em all thinking, “phew, we’re gonna have a low-key day today and it’s gonna be sweet,” … then issue the “lol, not” 10 minutes later. Great phrasing too: “While the comms staff expects the press pool to have a low-key day.” Little shade-throwing from the WH comms teams. That tug-o-war’s been raging on for centuries and this little “hey media have a nice, lazy day… the President will be working his dick off” is a solid jab from the comms team. Love it.
