I don’t think you’ll do it, Donald. I think you’re chicken. Chicken!

I double-dog dare you to fire him, like a dog!

Aren’t they all howling that Trump should be able to face his accusers? Now he can, every morning at staff meetings!

It’s fine with me if he fires everybody in a fit of rage … including himself.

If Jared’s not one of them, Mick will be back at OMB full-time within a week.

Does Trump do any actual work?

Fire Mulvaney? Why not shoot him on Fifth Avenue - that will take attention away from the impeachment hearings.

That may be the point. While chaos reigns around Dotard, the installed operatives - by Koch, coal/gas, chemical industry, big pharma - are doing their push to roll back anything in their way while they can and while most attention is directed at Dotard.

I’m not sure mulvaney would flip until it was too late for him to avoid prison. But there would be even more chaos.

Do they even have staff meetings, as in discussing important matters related to running the country and not Trump’s defense strategy?

Probably not. Maybe he has people there so he can rant at them, like a twitter rehearsal.

Sort of like “the beating will continue until moral improves” and replaced with “the rantings will continue until someone takes the fall for me”?

Ha! If Trump’s aides are begging him not to fire Mulvaney, there’s a very good chance that he will!

Won’t that be grand! Another snake in the grass set loose to cause more mischief and damage to Trump’s already shaky pack of lies!

It is always hard for management to decide between the untrustworthy lying greedy staffer and the greedy lying untrustworthy staffer.

Mulvaney knows where the bodies are buried because his finger prints are on the shovel. We’re fixin’ to see Trump’s stupidity in all its glory when he fires Mickey Entrencher.

It’s “disaster capitalism” for the 21st century.

Isn’t this how the Comey firing went down? Trump was begged by everyone not to fire him, which seemed to only bolster his belief that he should. Mulvaney should start clearing his desk.
