The head of the Small Business Administration, Linda McMahon, is stepping down from the role and will help his re-election effort, President Donald Trump said Friday.
Another one resigning to lead his re-election circus? How many inept public serpent failures does it take to do this? One for each off the wall tweet?
i hate this era.
“public serpent”
She needed to spend more time with her young children.
Just WTF did she think she was going to accomplish in this White House in this job?
Guess it sounded like a cool gig.
She also poured $100 million of her fortune into two unsuccessful bids for a U.S. Senate seat in Connecticut in 2010 and 2012.
Sounds like she has quite a bit of knowledge in how not to run a campaign. As always, for Trump -only the best people!
contributed $5 million to Trump’s family charity
So she basically gave Trump an allowance to spend as he wished.
What’s astonishing is that, as Trump appointees go, McMahon turned out to be one of the shining lights. Yes, I disagree with her politics in almost every respect. But as head of the SBA, reports are that she dug in, educated herself about the function of the agency, and did a decent job. No scandals, no misuse of government resources, promoting women-owned businesses (do we not applaud that?), and so on.
Still thrilled that she’s not my Senator - Chris Murphy has turned out to be waaaaay better than many of us thought he would be.
Murphy deserves a shout out every day for his approach to the Sandy Hook families and the compassion he’s shown them. It must be the hardest thing in the world to confront an intransigent gun loving admin and public and reassure families there’s hope it won’t happen again.
In other reports, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) let it be known that he intended to ask Donald Trump to appoint him as the next head of the SBA. However, his office appears to be walking back this statement after Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) telephoned Jordan and explained that the SBA and WWE were separate entities.
And another informed him that he needs to know how to take a hit.
Jordan was also disappointed to learn that SBA does not stand for Small Boys Association.
ETA: Or Stocky Boys Administration.
Yikes…one look at that coming at my elevator and I know I’m going to be standing in a putrid, eye-watering melange of Aquanet and old lady perfume.
And wear a non singlet outfit.
So his rallies will be even more dignified? Are you ready to rumble?
Let’s send her out right, and have The Rock pile drive her into a turnbuckle. Padded of course. And then Donnie can make a guest appearance and sucker punch her during the post-match interview.
It’s all-hands-on-deck for re-election. Trump knows that he’s toast when he loses the protection of the Oval. Saving his own skin is far more important to him than the nation.
And because of his obvious problems attracting and retaining talent, expect his campaign to poach liberally from his administration. The only other places he can find willing Trumpers are Fox, InfoWars, and Breitbart – and precious few of them pass the laugh test.
