President Donald Trump consumed Thursday morning’s TV headlines with amusement. Reports of tumult in the administration were at a feverish pitch — even on his beloved Fox News — as the president reflected on the latest staff departures during an Oval Office conversation with Vice President Mike Pence and Chief of Staff John Kelly.
With a laugh, Trump said: “Who’s next?”
Hahahaha he’s an incompetent corrupt zero who’s ruining everything; how hilarious.
He really does think he’s still doing The Apprentice, where he gets to shout “YER FIRED!!” and watch the ratings soar. Nothing is real to him except his own ego.
I cannot believe that the Founding Fathers of the US ever held it even remotely possible that a galah like Trump could ever win the Presidency. If they had been sufficiently aware of the possibilities, they might have added a clause to the effect of ‘one tweet and you are out.’
@2: Yes, they probably assumed they’d all be landed gentry like themselves, with some book-learning and culture in their heads. They couldn’t have foreseen how mass media could elevate a third-rate carnival barker to national celebrity, and how that could translate into electoral power.
Holy Fuck! Now Trump’s had Sessions fire McCabe – 3 days before McCabe was due to retire.

Trump gloats on Twitter:
I’ve just noticed what time Trump sent out that gloating tweet. Malice never sleeps.
Jared for no.2 at the FBI?
I was thinking Ivanka. I haven’t heard yet whether she has had troubles with security clearance.
In a just universe, it would be him. Hell, in a just universe he would’ve never been powerful at all.
Omar, thank you; ‘galah’ is the perfect insult. Despite being members of an order (Psittaciformes) which is generally regarded as being highly intelligent, galahs are remarkable for their stupidity. As a postie in Adelaide, I soon lost count of incidents involving the birds. Whilst not as apparently actively suicidal as top-knots, they displayed no awareness of imminent danger whatsoever; strutting along, following their own agenda, apparently of the opinion that they owned the whole of Australia and oblivious to everyone around them trying to get the blasted birds out of the road, or off the footie pitch, or out of the tennis courts. The galah approach to life seems to be “You aren’t the boss of me!” whilst otherwise being nowhere near as intelligent as they should be, given that they are cockatoos. Galahs spend a lot of time with sulphur-crested cockatoos, which are phenomenally clever. I have no idea why they think cockies tolerate their presence; I’ve seen cockies try (and fail) to chase galahs away. We had a flock of each living in the vicinity of our house in Canberra, and they at least occasionally interbred; one of the regular visitors to the feeding station was a bird with the white body and head of a cocky, but with a white crest and only the size of a galah.
