Hope Hicks, White House Communications Director, will need therapy after she leaves her job working for Donald Trump, her friends and family have said.
According to Michael Wolff’s explosive new book Fire and Fury, which details the inner workings of Trump’s White House, Hicks’ family and friends are concerned for her mental health.
‘Following the Trump victory and her [Hope Hicks] move into the White House, her friends and intimates talked with great concern about what kind of therapies and recuperation she would need after her tenure was finally over,’ the book states.

Hicks was the first person that Trump hired for his campaign back in 2015. She formerly worked for Trump’s daughter Ivanka’s fashion brand, and was brought on to the campaign team at Ivanka’s recommendation.
Hicks took over the role of communications director from Anthony Scaramucci in August of 2017.

The book also gives insight into Hicks’ family and friends concerns and how the evolved during the campaign.
‘As the campaign progressed, moving from novelty project to political factor to juggernaut, Hicks’ family increasingly, and incredulously, viewed her as if having been taken captive,’ Wolff reported.

Additionally, Wolff also stated that Hicks hasn’t escaped Trump’s incendiary nature.
‘On more than one occasion, after a day – one of the countless days – of particularly bad notices, the president greeted her, affectionately, with ‘You must be the world’s worst PR person,” the report stated.
