WASHINGTON—In an unprecedented move to ensure that the message was received loud and clear, U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly fired White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia a second time Thursday morning.

"While Mrs. Zacharia was officially fired on Saturday afternoon, the president determined that, much more forceful termination was needed," said White House Communications Director Steven Cheung. "The president personally dragged her back to Oval Office this morning to deliver a proper, high-impact firing face-to-face. Firing her once clearly wasn't enough for someone who somehow deluded herself into thinking she was a real lawyer, so the president made sure she won't be mistaking the status of her employment ever again."

Following the news, Zacharia took to her X/Twitter to thank President Trump for "taking the time out of his busy schedule to relieve me of my duties once again," calling him "a hardworking man who loves pointing his finger at people and yelling ‘YOU'RE FIRED!’ directly in their faces while they cry." Moments after her Oval Office meeting concluded, Zacharia was reportedly tackled by Secret Service while attempting to breach the briefing room, later claiming she believed the second dismissal was "merely a test of my perseverance."

"No President in American HISTORY fires press secretaries like ME!" wrote the president in a Truth Social post Thursday evening. "They said I couldn't BREAK the record for Shortest Lived Press Secretary, but I proved them all WRONG! Not just that, but today I have carried out the First Ever second FIRING of a Press Secretary in the ENTIRE 250 years of America! The CROOKED Dumocrats [sic] couldn't even DREAM of doing something so POWERFUL!! Thank you for your attention to This Matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP."

At press time, White House insiders reported that aides were frantically channel surfing between lesser news outlets Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN in a desperate bid to scout Zacharia's replacement.
