Trump has now burned through five communications directors, raising the question of whether he really even wants one
Bill Shine is the fifth person to learn that it’s not easy to serve as communications director to a president who doesn’t think he needs one.
Shine, 55, is a protégé of Roger Ailes, the late chairman and CEO of Fox News. He spent decades as a senior executive at the network before joining the White House in July, just two months after he was pushed out of Fox, accused of helping Ailes cover up the sexual harassment and misconduct that had forced his own ouster.named
It was not immediately clear whether the president urged Shine to resign, but Trump allies say the president never developed a strong rapport with him.
