What garbage!!

Perhaps this arrogant White House might be better served to heed the words of President John Quincy Adams in his "Jubilee" address in New York City in 1839:

"Every change of a President of the United States, has exhibited some variety of policy from that of his predecessor. In more than one case, the change has extended to political and even to moral principle; but the policy of the country has been fashioned far more by the influences of public opinion, and the prevailing humors in the two Houses of Congress, than by the judgment, the will, or the principles of the President of the United States. The President himself is no more than a representative of public opinion at the time of his election; and as public opinion is subject to great and frequent fluctuations, he must accommodate his policy to them; or the people will speedily give him a successor . . . ."

He doesn’t give a rat’s fart whether he is quickly furnished with a successor.
