And don't call me Shirley.

Munchkin and the rest of the swamp-dwellers have jobs precisely because they are stupid, corrupt, incompetent, evil or otherwise suck at their jobs.

- and "bad," in Trump's tiny brain, means weak - and then he will replace him with someone even worse.

The govt has actually rolled out a ton of stimulus and I worry an ideological nut might be Mnuchin’s replacement. Mnuchin actually went along with increasing weekly unemployment $600 per week, actually went along with support for round two of small business loans. A replacement could be much much worse.
