Stargeezr Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I have not been keeping a number count , but how many firings has any former president done in their first year on the job. Not this many I am sure and not so public , or quick, like 10 days on the job. Amazing America! Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceN Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 '"The president certainly felt that Anthony's comments were inappropriate for a person in that position," spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told reporters.' Just a few days ago, she was defending Scaramucci's "colorful language." If you want to rely on anything Sarah Sanders says, just check to see which way the wind is blowing.

Have to say, I only saw Mr. Scaramucci give one interview to a BBC reporter. Seriously think it was the only time I've been lost for words!! The poor BBC reporter looked like she wanted to laugh, cry, hit him or strangle him, all during a very short interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck2 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Somebody at the top of the government has to chose someone working near to him. 10 days later he fires him. This says all about the incompetence and mental quality of the boss. This action „you are fired“ is a „tremendous“ (Trump's favorite word) symbol of a „tremendous“ fumbler-president.

stevenl Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 13 hours ago, Berkshire said: Do you really believe that Trump realized on his own that he made a mistake or would even admit to it? No, Kelly made it clear that if Trump wanted him to come in and clean up the toxic mess, Trump would need to give him full authority over all personnel matters. Which means the Mooch had to go. Trump had no choice. One thing I've noticed about Trump is that he's very good at taking orders from Generals. I really don't care about the reasons, he made a mistake and corrected. I get the feeling that some here are so blinded by their hatred they simply can't acknowledge this. On the other hand, some are so blinded they don't see any mistakes at all.

Thakkar Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Scaramucci added, “President Trump has accomplished an incredible amount in a short period of time, and I am proud to join his Administration as he continues to deliver for the American people.” Scaramucci, who is currently serving as the senior vice president and chief strategy officer at the Export-Import Bank, will officially begin his new role on August 15, 2017. Is there a such thing as a negative number of days of tenure at the White House? T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thakkar Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 The following is from a film review. I changed one word to "This Whitehouse": "Though unabashedly crude and juvenile, This Whitehouse nevertheless scores with its classic slapstick, unforgettable characters, and endlessly quotable dialogue" Appropriately, the film in question is Caddyshack because "This Whitehouse" is the Caddyshack of Whitehouses. The most memorable line in the film is "everybody gets laid" For This Whitehouse, it's : "everybody gets screwed" T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack100 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Far be it for me to defend Trump but I am old enough to remember Billy Clinton (1992 campaign) when he picked his communications director , had a similar long name - George Stephanopoulos - he was a total embarrassment and only lasted a few weeks longer .than Tony and was replaced. George and Clinton however , were supposed to be polished , experienced politicians and not real estate moguls and talk show hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're grading the orange clown on a curve because everyone knows he's totally unqualified to president, or even head of dog catching for that matter? Hilarious.

55Jay Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Going along with sacking of The Mooch is a demonstration of support to the new Chief of Staff, but it's short-lived. Trump won't last long. He can't. Gen Kelly isn't a cure for this strain of organizational cancer, and the magic wand he's been given is powerless against the bizzarro situation with Trump's kids and family in there as close, personal advisors; usurping policy and strategy at the dinner table with Dad, over two scoops of ice cream. It just doesn't work. My guess is Gen Kelly will have a go for a while, do "some" good but will eventually reach an impasse with Trump, and resign in quiet disgust.

Maybe trump is exhausted and has enough self awareness that he isn't presidential material. Maybe he'll let Kelly more or less BE president. Stranger things have happened in U.S. history.

iReason Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 EXCLUSIVE: Kelly called Comey to express anger over firing, sources say "New White House chief of staff John Kelly was so upset with how President Donald Trump handled the firing of FBI Director James Comey that Kelly called Comey afterward and said he was considering resigning, according to two sources familiar with a conversation between Kelly and Comey." "Comey, who took Kelly's call while traveling back from Los Angeles to Washington, responded to Kelly by telling him not to resign, one of the sources said." "The sources said Comey and Kelly are not close friends but that they had a professional relationship and a deep mutual respect for each other." http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/31/politics/kelly-comey-phone-call-angry/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is said to thrive on the action - creating a mess then acting decisively to "fix" it. A predictable cycle at this point, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
