Those guys don't miss any opportunity to impress Trump and/or kiss his butt. Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Trump put Navarro up to it.

But they were either fired or they left because they couldn't stand it any more. Their principles got in trump's way. It's a shame more of them haven't spoken out against him, maybe fronted a candidate to run against him.
