Kim Kardashian-West named as Trump’s new Press Secretary

After Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ announcement that she was stepping down as Donald Trump’s Press Secretary, the American President has moved quickly to announce her replacement - socialite and reality television star Kim Kardashian-West.

“I’ve been a fan of Kim’s since I saw her in a low-budget film with Ray-J a few years ago,” said Trump in a statement scrawled in crayon on White House letterhead.

“She really showcased her assets for that important project - I’ve got a position or two for her that I think she’ll fit.”

In a statement of her own, Kardashian-West said she was looking forward to working with the White House to the betterment of all Americans.

With her ever-developing background as a law student, Kardashian-West said she was hoping to develop positive race relations in the USA.

“I have a mixed-race family at home, and now I have an employer who’s the shade of pumpkin soup. If I cannot solve America’s deep-seated race issues, no-one can.”

Although it had yet to be confirmed, Washington insiders report that Kardashian-West’s husband Kanye was eyeing up a position as Donald Trump’s social media manager and hype man.
