Okay, Katie Zacharia's claim to have passed the bar in China appears to be collapsing very fast. The South China Morning Post (Hong Kong) (paywall) just published this. www.scmp.com/news/us/poli ... [image or embed] -- Josh Marshall (@joshtpm.bsky.social) 6:30 PM · Oct 13, 2026

She got the job because she reminds the serial------------ of Ivanka.

"Press Secretary Can Barely Read"
She's not there to read. She's there to look pretty.
Republicans already know this. Democrats may never figure it out.

President Donald Trump's new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, opened up a new line of questions with an unexpected answer when asked where she had passed the bar exam. Trump has described Zacharia as "an attorney," and she has repeatedly done the same on national TV. But a new investigation by Popular Information's Judd Legum found no evidence that she has ever been admitted to practice law in any state, and the question came up Tuesday after her debut press conference. "Trump was asked what state Zacharia passed the bar exam," Legum posted on X. "Trump deferred to Zacharia to answer. Zacharia said, When I moved to China.' Which makes absolutely no sense. She appears to waive away follow up questions."

Was Zacharia the attorney for Ivanka's Chinese sweatshops?

Apparently a law school grad but can't come up with evidence of passing the bar in the US, hence no license, ergo not a lawyer/attorney. Just an incredibly vacuous, bimbo-ish sideline figure pulled from within a regime loaded with all manner of freaks, geeks, grifters, and gangsters. .

She can barely read? How Trumplike.
The man can only see 72-point type. Hard to consume much.
His attempts to read aloud at any size would be hysterical.

If that was Trump's pick, there was obviously a shortage of beautiful, blond, witness candidates who would allow him to grope her.
If he wasn't impotent, I'd call it something else.

He wanted another loyal, pretty blonde so he went and got himself one. It's OK if she doesn't know squat and is unqualified. The administration doesn't want her divulging much anyway.

The Truth is out there...but the truth is, this administration wants someone expert in not knowing and not caring and certainly not an expert in any damn thing but loyalty.

This lady will get trampled in the first five minutes of her next press conference, if she will be stupid enough to call on CNN, NYT, WSJ, AP or so many other news sources. Americans are due honest, straightforward information from the president and his administration, and this dim bulb will not be able to deliver it. It will soon come out that she is not licensed to practice law in the US, has little knowledge of or understanding about matters this administration is dealing with, and cannot dodge hard questions long. Hell, even Faux News and One America will soon tire of having to deal up softball questions--most of which she will hit into weak choppers to the pitcher's mound, for easy outs. She will be gone by Boxing Day...
IN THE MEANTIME, RELEASE THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES...

All good points, Catdog. This bot-like Mar-a-Largo fan-girl will be plenty busy from the get-go evading questions about (a) that "lawyer" business, and (b) anything/everything having to do with her China experience. The best description I've seen of her performance so far is the comparison to a fourth-grader.

that "lawyer" business

I am stating the obvious to say that in Trump World, as best shown in Trump himself, when you can imagine something to be true about yourself then it is true.
Donald was portraying himself as Christ again last night.

14. What does it matter what anyone prefers? People in the US executive branch at least used to have, at the very least, unstated expectations of basic intelligence, a credible history, and emotional maturity.
Question: Name one person anywhere in Trump's orbit who has all of those. Forget gravitas. Trump is completely intimidated by any confident individuals (especially quiet ones who know a lot more than they say, or women who act as fellow humans) who aren't lawbreakers.
Guarantee you Blondie doesn't know about gravitas. Maybe you don't either. But it goes a long way.
