I was reading the NYTimes this morning & was surprised (but not really) to see right across the top of the page: Sean Spicer is resigning because "he vehemently disagreed with" Trump's choice for a new communications director:

I think there's more to the story than just disagreeing with "choice for new communications director". It might be as complex but at the same time as simple as most human relations are: Spicer was ridiculed and attacked by the press (rightly so, I think), and for all his troubles, Trump didn't even allow him to meet the Pope and seemed to constantly undermine him. In addition, Bannon called him "fat" & everybody (including Trump) made fun of him because he was played by a female comic (Melissa McCarthy) on SNL.
On top of that, Trump has no loyalty to his supporters (see his recent attacks on Sessions who was with Trump from the beginning). Thus, Spicer probably thought it'd be best to cut his losses and get to hell out of the dysfunctional Trump white house. & who can blame him?
