Trump can't fire him, but he can replace him on the ticket for the 2020 election.

He could try to force him to resign, but Pence might not bite. Trump getting taken out by a cheeseburger is his one shot at the presidency.

failures has always been DT's top Priority. As he was telling everyone about putting Pence in charge of this mess, that the first thing that I thought of. I wonder if Mike realizes what just happened?
