Trump Administration* - Fired / Quit

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

SNL paraphrased and added to:

John Kelly - 43 years in the Marines, Master of Arts degree in National Security Affairs from the Georgetown School of Foreign Service, National Defense University in Washington, DC with a Master of Science in Strategic Studies, 3 tours in Iraq, Secretary of Homeland Security, couldn't make it through one tour with Trump.

No sympathy, though, the xenophobic Trumpette exploited his dead son while attacking a Gold Star wife and lying about a black congresswoman.

Pence aide out of running to be Trump's next chief of staff

Not only is Ayers ditching the failed admin entirely, but the team is so incompetent that they let his name go public before being certain that he'd take the job. Opps.

Maybe he figures his boss will soon be president, and that he should act in his own interest like the rest of those bastards.

Nope, he's completely out of there. "I will be departing at the end of the year ..."

Ah, I didn't read the article....was just postulating. I still haven't read it but will say that if I faced the prospect of working for Pence or Trump, I would be out the door in a flash.

Anybody with a shred of integrity wouldn't have ever been standing close enough to either of those turds to ever be a prospect to work for them.

There can be various stated and real reasons for leaving (including avoiding prison), but people that are effective in a successful admin. tend to stay.

Trump Scorched Over Tweet Bashing Obama For Burning Through 'Chief Of Staffs'

Twitter followers piled on President Donald Trump after unearthing his 2012 tweet ripping then-President Barack Obama for having three “chief of staffs” (the correct term is chiefs of staff) in three years.

Trump, who’s finishing up the second year of his presidency, plans to name his third chief of staff next week to replace John Kelly, who’s heading out the door. Kelly replaced Reince Priebus in July 2017 after Priebus served just six months.

Trump groused in his tweet that the upheaval in Obama’s White House was “part of the reason” Obama couldn’t “manage to pass his agenda.” ...
3 Chief of Staffs in less than 3 years of being President: Part of the reason why @BarackObama can't manage to pass his agenda.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 10, 2012
A tweet for every occasion. Just like a Hallmark card.
You burn them faster than jet fuel in AF1.
Ha! trump did it in less than 2
More at the link.

Comment:
Soon to be revised Tweet : "I'm proud to say I have the greatest number of Chief of Staffs (sic) in my first two years ever. A huge victory for me. MAGA"

Hey little buddy @realDonaldTrump u need a bash brother for Chief if Staff. Got a secret reorg plan already. Also worried about you looking more like a Twinkie everyday. I will buff you up daily workouts. DM me. #yeswecanseco
:lol: :clap:

Comments:
Sure. Why not? I'm tired of saying "how bad could it be" and having my rhetorical question interpreted as a challenge.
Trump doesn't need a chief of staff. He's already the greatest president by a bigly margin. The only way to step it up from here is to also become the greatest chief of staff by a bigly margin while also being the greatest president.

I'm not bothering to verify, but a forum post says that Steven Mnuchin, Robert Lighthizer and Larry Kudlow also declined the job offer.

Trump ramps up interviews in chief of staff search as Christie bows out

... One-time deputy campaign manager David Bossie was seen at the White House Friday where he's expected to speak with the president about the position. He arrived with Trump's former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, with whom he's recently written a book....

"It's an honor to have the President consider me as he looks to choose a new White House chief-of-staff," Christie said. "However, I've told the President that now is not the right time for me or my family to undertake this serious assignment. As a result, I have asked him to no longer keep me in any of his considerations for this post."

... Sources with knowledge of the president’s thinking told ABC News that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney and counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway are also on the list....
Again, they are incompetent fools to have let so many names surface that then rejected the post.

Yeah, Zinke may have to find a new home. He's become pretty well persona non grata and despised in Montana since becoming a land raper.

He splits his time between Washington, D.C.; Whitefish, Montana; and Santa Barbara, California, his wife's hometown.

There's always Saudi Arabia, Russia or Sidney, Montana (really western ND). Richland County, Montana presidential elections results 2016: Republican 80.2%, Democratic 13.8%, Third parties 6.0%. That's gotta be one of the rightest counties anywhere.

Heh, I'm glad he's out but didn't know he was a SEAL. Gee, as a Navy vet, as well as Admiral of the Fleet, I am not happy with the way Zinke and Jesse Ventura have been acting since leaving the service. Chips ahoy.
