Trump blasted for his ‘Endorsement of Doom’ after Sean Spicer loses on ‘Dancing with the Stars’
Team Trump had gone all in urging supporters to vote for former White House press secretary Sean Spicer on the game show “Dancing with the Stars.”
Votes had been urged by RNC officials and Trump himself had urged his 66 million Twitter followers to vote for Spicer.
Despite the full heft of the Trump campaign, Spicer lost on Monday’s show.
Trump deleted his failed tweet urging votes for Spicer — and instead said it was a “great try” by his former advisor.
Looks like this endorsement was as successful as your last one!

But Spicer wasn’t much of a dancer. Former Governor Mike Huckabee, the father of his successor, said Spicer danced, “like a drunken Baptist with a bad leg!”
The internet found it hilarious that Spicer lost the public vote despite having the leader of the free world and a political party pushing voters.
Here’s some of what people were saying:
This has to be one of the most unusual potential violations of the Presidential Records Act in history

Are you seriously admitting that you sat here and watched a whole episode of Dancing with the Stars, when we all know there is work that needs to be done?

First it was Matt Bevin for #KYGov.
Now it was Sean Spicer for #DWTS.
Who will get the next Trump Endorsement of Doom?

Didn't you just tweet this earlier tonight, telling people to vote for Sean Spicer on #DWTS?
We see you haven't learned your lesson from Kentucky yet. Good.

No we aren’t. You either win or fail. As a youth football coaching legend, I motivate my players by telling them I hate them when they make mistakes. Congratulating someone for “trying” sends a horrible message

Somewhere Don Jr. weeps as he pretends you said this to him.

This is the funniest goddamn tweet in the world. It's Veterans Day and our president is sending condolences to his former press secretary for losing on the boomer dancing show. Proud indeed. https://t.co/MquC4qFZG9

Watch:
North Korea has conducted another "crucial test" at its Sohae satellite launch site, state media reported Saturday, as nuclear negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington remain stalled with a deadline approaching.
The announcement comes a day before US Special Envoy on North Korea Stephen Biegun is set to arrive in Seoul for a three-day visit, and after the United States tested a medium-range ballistic missile over the Pacific Ocean on Thursday.
"Another crucial test was successfully conducted at the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground from 22:41 to 22:48 on December 13," a spokesman for the North's National Academy of Defence Science said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.
US officials announced a truce in the trade war with China with much fanfare, but economists and trade experts call it largely a victory for Beijing.
After a dispute that raged for close to two years, with several fumbled efforts at a resolution, the US agreed to cancel planned tariffs and rollback others immediately, without a similar commitment from China to lift tariffs it imposed on the US.
"Pardon me if I don't pop champagne, but aside from a cessation of continued escalation, there is not much worth cheering," leading China expert Scott Kennedy said in an analysis of the agreement.
On Wednesday, Jared Kushner, who is both a White House senior adviser and President Trump's son-in-law, published an op-ed article in The New York Times defending the president's recent executive order supposedly meant to combat anti-Semitism. The controversial measure will establish that "Title VI of the Civil Rights Act’s prohibition against discrimination based on race, color or national origin covers discrimination against Jews" and defines anti-Semitism using the language of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.
