TL;DR
- Katie Zacharia was appointed as Trump's press secretary on Monday and departed by Friday.
- Her first press briefing was short and included a gaffe where she referred to her husband as 'my President'.
- Questions were raised about her qualifications, as she claimed to be a lawyer but had not passed a bar exam.
- Trump stated she would remain in the administration in a different role, wanting her to have a 'good life'.
- Her rapid departure is compared to Anthony Scaramucci's short tenure as communications director.
