A 29 year-old woman who Donald Trump called ‘the best piece of tail’ is among the White House best paid staffers on $179,700.

Hope Hicks earns the enormous amount for her role as ‘assistant to the president and director of strategic communications’, according to an official White House salary list.

Her salary is the largest paid to anyone working for President Trump, and matches that paid to assistant and senior counselor Kellyanne Conway, 50.

Hope worked for Ivanka Trump before replacing Anthony Scaramucci as communications director last August.

In Michael Wolff’s explosive book Fire and Fury, Inside the Trump White House Hicks is described as one of Trump’s favorite aides.

During one discussion with Trump about her on-off boyfriend and fellow Trump worker Corey Lewandowski he is said to have told her ‘You’re the best piece of tail he’ll ever have.’

Wolff has also claimed Hicks’ friends and family have discussed what types of therapy she will need to overcome her time working for Trump after it ends.

Others making the same amount include deputy chief of staff Ricky Dearborn, director of presidential personnel John DeStefano and Jason Greenblatt, who is special representative for international negotiations.

Also on the $179,700 ceiling salary are chief of staff for the National Security Council Joseph Kellogg Jr., counsel to the president Donald McGahn, senior policy advisor Stephen Miller, national security strategy advisor Dina Powell.

But the list of top salaries, which dates back to June 2017, also includes names the President would rather forget, including axed chief strategist Steve Bannon and ousted chief of staff Reince Priebus.
