A certain amount of chutzpah is necessary in Trumpland, so congratulations to Katie Zacharia, who has proudly added the words “Former White House Press Secretary for President Donald J. Trump” to her social media bios.

Zacharia was doomed not just because of the car-crash press briefing that she curtailed after only 14 minutes, but also when she scheduled a Fox News interview with Trump for just after he made a two-hour campaign speech.
