Still not recovered from the firing: the new blunder of the White House spokesperson
Katie Zakaria, who was dismissed as White House press secretary after five days, posted photos with President Trump in which a blurred map appears on his desk that disappeared in an edited image. Speculations link the map to Trump's plan to renovate East Potomac Park into a golf course.
Just days after being dismissed from her role as White House press secretary after a tenure of only five days, Katie Zakaria finds herself at the center of a new controversy. The post she published included a photo of her with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, on whose desk a blurred map appeared. In another photo she posted with her family, the map disappeared in a clumsy edit. Viewers and the media speculated that the shape of the continent in the map resembles East Potomac Park in Washington, a site Trump has expressed interest in renovating into a golf course. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung dismissed the criticism, claiming it was 'an obsession with an innocent photo.' Trump himself confirmed the excitement around the development of the golf course, without directly addressing the photo controversy. The article uses a promising headline and terms like 'blunder' and 'storm,' but the body of the article is based mainly on speculation.
