Unprofessionalism at the Trump White House

There have been prominent misspellings in official White House statements (the pharmaceutical company whose treatment Trump took is Regeneron, not Regeron). Trump bungled the name of a well-known Republican senator (that’s James Inhofe, not Imhofe) in a video message. Communications Director Alyssa Farah did much the same in a television interview, repeatedly mispronouncing the name of Trump’s physician (it’s Dr. Sean Conley, with two syllables, not Connelly with three).
.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and National Economic Council director Larry Kudlow on Wednesday contradicted each other in public remarks on whether a recuperating, but still possibly infectious Trump had been in the Oval Office the day before. (Kudlow thought he had, Meadows was apparently right that on that day Trump hadn’t.)
.
Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s briefings are largely dismissed as mere entertainment by reporters, not a source of reliable information or, on frequent occasions, any information at all. Last week she didn’t know at her own briefing that presidential counselor Hope Hicks, to whom she had been exposed, had tested positive for the virus the night before. After Farah publicly promised to release the numbers of White House aides infected with coronavirus, a few hours later McEnany said they wouldn’t provide those numbers for “privacy” reasons.
...
Robert O’Brien, Trump’s national security adviser, told a university on Wednesday that the U.S. would draw down to 2,500 troops in Afghanistan by “early next year” only to be contradicted by Trump a few hours later in a tweet that the U.S. would have all troops out of Afghanistan by Christmas.

In what fantasy world do Democrats ‘know’ their candidate is losing? Even Trump’s favorite Rasmussen is showing Biden as having the biggest lead since Reagan/Mondale in 1984.
Democrats are wary that the polls could be wrong, and are trying not to get too excited. But I don’t see a lot of people ‘knowing’ Biden is going to lose.

So FoxNews and OANN are arms of the Democratic Party?

You and I both know they are not news but opinion and editorial.
Actually, they're arms of the Republican Party. The problem isn't liberalism, it's bias and lack of integrity.

I agree with your first sentence.

To get back to the original post, I do agree that it is very poor to send out official things from the government with mis spellings, etc. That is one thing that has been put into me - check, double check, and triple check, and then have someone else do the same.

Perhaps, if they had a corpse of people to deal with such things, LOL.
