Two days after Trump returned from his first international trip, and confirming media reports of an imminent shale up within the White House communication team (and away from it) moments ago NBC and ABC reported that Trump’s communications director, Mike Dubke has resigned and is leaving the White House.
Dubke, 47, had been tasked with helping to shape the president’s message, a process that Trump became increasingly frustrated with in recent weeks. According to Axios which first reported Dubke’s departure, the veteran Republican served for just three months before tendering his resignation May 18. He offered to stay through the overseas trip, and Trump accepted. He has been trying to help restructure the press and communications operation, and is parting on good terms, a senior administration official said, which probably suggests he is not suspected of leaking Trump confidential information.
Dubke is still coming into work, and his last day has not yet been set. Previously, he had helped found Crossroads Media, a Republican media services firm.
Dubke’s resignation may serve as an opportunity to revamp Trump’s communications team, which has frequently come under criticism during the early months of the president’s term.
