Anything that makes the deep state nuts works for me... and most Americans...
Since the President started his time in office not knowing who in the political arena really supported him and since 90+ % of government “workers” in WDC despise him, what did you expect? Even many in the republican party opposed him (some anti-Trumpers to this day). I blame the often quisling/castrato repubs for this situation.
Once the bad actors are expunged, EVERYTHING they ever communicated, and to whom, needs to be documented AND reviewed for criminal unauthorized release.
I truly believe that Donald had no idea of how corrupt Obama and his Chicago Democrats were and are. It’s difficult, when you are honest, to understand and internalize the moral depths Democrats exist at.
“but don’t forget the context of the time”
He could have executed it as a routine personnel action on the first day via the WH personnel director.
Virtually without controversy.
If any controversy emerged, he could have cited Clinton firing every US Attorney on day 1. And so many others.
Bill Clinton did his housecleaning at the beginning. No one raised a fuss.
Obama did his housecleaning at the beginning. No one raised a fuss.
Donald Trump has been in there was 3 years, he’s looked around, he has weighed his options, and is now making some judicious decisions about housecleaning. Is this suddenly an impeachable offense?
I think his team lacked known quality people to assume leadership within the agencies.
“what did you expect”?
The most basic knowledge of history and the exercise of power.
Not even Obama made this mistake.
as the article points out, the promised large scale swamp-draining is “three years overdue”
President Trump also did not know how many people in R jerseys were in bed with the Democrats to complete the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) and opposed to most of his agenda of securing the border and restoring the rule of law.
Trump should have been prepared to clean house his first day in office.
About Freakin’ Time!!
“President Trump also did not know how many people in R jerseys were in bed with the Democrats to complete the Bush Plan”
But he knew who were Obama and Bush holdovers.
He could have started there and branched out.
Get to it !
I believe that due to civil service protections, he can’t actually fire them. But he can do a Japanese-style demotion, where they get offices or cubicles with zero responsibilities. Or he could send them out to Alaska to enumerate every individual ice crystal (and no 2 crystals are alike) for the edification of future generations.
Although.. Had he done that and fired them all way back then.. would we now know the extent of the Deep State? Letting them attempt their Evil deeds and fail made them desperate.. It has brought them out of hiding for All to see.
Well, there’s always the Democrats if you can’t take Trump anymore.
From the article.
“...assembled detailed lists of disloyal government officials to oust — and trusted pro-Trump people to replace them...”
This should have been done in the months BEFORE Trump’s inauguration.
Spot on!
Most people forget that everyone, including Trump, expected Hillary to win. Therefore he had not prepared a plan and a team. My fantasy is that he began his campaign with encouragement from Ivanka, who was encouraged by her then BFF - Chelsie Clinton, because he had made some earlier remarks and HRC thought he might clear the competition but definitely be a straw horse in the election. The “insurance policy” was belt and suspenders for the conspiracy, that included taking down and paying off Bernie, and anyone else that neede a book deal to comply, like some many now with 6-7 figure contracts.
