White House Survivor

Trebuchet said:
Except who's in charge if he's gone? Rosenstein. Or (((Rosenstein))), to a good many of Trump's supporters. Trump may be counting on a recess appointment. The Senate has good experience getting around that. And Sessions is one of their own.

Didn't I start a "Who will Trump fire first?" thread before he took office? I should look for that and see how the guessing went.

One way or another, I'm sure you'll agree with me that the next White House victim should be fired from a trebuchet, this time.
 
I have heard the suggestion that with Kelly now Chief of Staff, this gives Trump the ability to promote Sessions sideways to Sec of Homeland Security, and open up the Ag's position to someone that will play Trumpball.
 
Well, we know Mnuchin is safe.

If he fires the appointed Goldman Sachs plant, members of both parties will, even if in the midst of August recess and requiring FAA re-routed flights with emergency priority traffic, immediately converge on their chambers, gavel into session, and upon reaching two-thirds of the members in attendance, vote to amend the constitution so that the President may be oustered in a single, simple majority vote without any debate, then vote on such a proposal.

He could do it but both positions requires confirmation. Sessions would have to be confirmed again and whoever he nominated for AG would also need to be confirmed.

True, but they are more likely to confirm him into a higher position than if it was just a new AG because trump fired him.

He's going to make Trump fire him and the Orange Menace seems incapable of firing anyone. This is his only chance to fulfill as many of his racist dreams as possible and he's not letting go of the ring.

I wouldn't say Homeland Security is a higher position than AG. But that's not the issue really. The problem is that it's a sham. The bigger problem would be in getting someone else confirmed for AG.
 
Call me cynical but I think Trump might have a better time managing the WH Staff if all the staff were given GoPros and told that they are playing a game of survivor. Donald could see their video diaries in real time and laugh ...


"OK, OK it's been 11 days, 3 hrs and 15 minutes since I was hired to be the White House ...."

I'm betting on Jeff Sessions either stepping down or being moved to another post, more or less for the reasons described above by PhantomWolf.

Either that or else Tillerson loses patience with running State into the ground.

I think Tillerson. I think there are enough people to talk trump out of firing Sessions for having some ethics. So unless maybe his kids get indicted I don't see Sessions going anywhere
 
I think none of us were expecting Mooch to last long,but out after ten freaking days?????

Boy was I wrong.

Mooch got the boot before Sessions.

I should stop trying to predict Trump, because every time I do, I get it wrong.

This one was easy. What I like is this is the shortest duration for any White House Communications Director, negative 15 days as his start date was supposed to be August 15.

There are people who believe that the Mooch's real job was simply just to get rid of Spicer and Reince. His presence made both of their presence untenable. And now he can go and enjoy his money.

I like it. He also could run interference, shoot his mouth off during the ACA vote.

Then, Mooch out ...
