SEAN Spicer, the White House press secretary under Donald Trump, will be resigning from his post, according to officials.

This resignation comes following one of the strangest and most tumultuous tenures for the position of press secretary on record.

In honour of his relatively short time in the position, here's a look back at 4 of his very best moments.

1. Spicer claims Adolf Hitler never used chemical weapons

Back in April, while trying to justify Trump's attack on an Assad-controlled air base, he claimed that "We didn't use chemical weapons in World War Two, you know, you had a, someone as despicable as Hitler, who didn't even sink to the, to using chemical weapons."

This would run counter to evidence of many events in Nazi Germany such as, for example, the gas chambers.

When asked to clarify what he meant he managed to make the situation worse by stating "There was not, in the, he brought them in to the Holocaust centres, I understand that, what I'm saying, in the way that Assad used them, where he went into towns dropped them down to innocent, into the middle of towns, it was brought to, so the use of it, and I appreciate the clarification, that was not the intent."

I'm not sure what's worse here: that Spicer implied that this was different because Assad used the weapons on innocent people (as opposed to the Jewish people?), or the fact that this all happened on Passover...

2. Spicer claims that Trump's inauguration crowd was bigger than Obama's

Size doesn't matter...unless you have a bit of a bruised ego.

Despite photographic evidence to the contrary, Spicer defended Trump's claim that more people had attended his inauguration than Obama's, stating "This was the largest audience to ever witness the inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe."

The New York Times estimates Trump drew a crowd of about one-third the size of Obama’s, which was thought to be a record turnout of 1.8 million.

3. When it turned out Sean Spicer used to be the White House Easter Bunny

Every year the White House holds an annual Easter Egg Roll, attended by many children, the President and the cabinet.

It turns out on two occasions Sean Spicer was,in fact, the rabbit...

Spicer took the role during the reign of George W. Bush.

The last time he donned the suit was back in 2008, however now that he's looking for a job again, we could be seeing him in the costume sooner rather than later.

4. When he tweeted his password by mistake. Twice. Two days in a row.

Over the course of two days Sean Spicer managed to accidentally tweet what looked suspiciously like his password not once, but twice.

Give the guy a break though. It's not like he's a spokesperson for one of the world's most powerful nations with access to presumably highly classified information.

Actually, I guess he isn't anymore...

Spicer may be gone, but his time as press secretary will not be forgotten in a hurry.
