You're Fired

[Musburger1]

Stole this from a comment section on another blog. Just someone's observation that I think hits home. It pretty much chronicles Trump's lack of loyalty or to maintain stability.

After Carter Page was dismissed from the campaign; to paraphrase: I hardly knew Carter Page, Carter Page was never part of the campaign;

After Manafort was dismissed; Manafort was with the campaign for a very short time;

After Flynn was dismissed; Flynn made false statements to Pence and couldn't remember what he spoke about with the Russian Ambassador, just the fact that he couldn't remember is not good for someone in his position;

Today we got the excuse for Bannon; I like Steve, BUT you have to remember he was not involved in my campaign until very late. I had already beaten all the senators and all the governors, and I didn’t know Steve. I’m my own strategist.

And of course, there was Christie and Lewandowski - all thrown under the bus.​

Bannon hasn't been completely ejected, but it's being reported Trump basically read him the riot act.

MAGA! Trump rules!

I agree he minimizes associates once discarded and they've served their purpose. The handling of and claims he made about Page, Manafort, and Flynn have some merit.

This latest slight against Bannon rubs me the wrong way. I think DT took it personal when MSM media and others began to attribute his 'America First' nationalism as a brainchild of Bannon.

They've pretty much insinuated he borrowed it from SB, and it will be abandoned if he's ousted. Seems he got pretty pissed over the claims his entire platform is a fraud.

He's going all out to prove he was on that tip long before Bannon joined the fold. But yeah, pretty harsh how he's handling it.

7 countries let us know that there were alarming connections.

One source suggested the official investigation was making progress. “They now have specific concrete and corroborative evidence of collusion,” the source said. “This is between people in the Trump campaign and agents of [Russian] influence relating to the use of hacked material.”

I don't think he's a total waste. I assume that there are some people like Mattis behind the scenes doing good work. I've given up on the hope that all of the bluster and twitter nonsense was a smokescreen. I was holding out hope. They'll do good work for the next President as well.

I scrolled through his cabinet. Sad. Mattis, Kelly, Chao,etc. seem fine. But, almost half are objectionable. It's just odd. I mean Pruitt is a good example. I don't agree with him but he's a smart guy and he's not horrible. He's just not an EPA Administrator. It's like making Roy Williams (yours) a left tackle. Silly.
