Trump complaint about Cabinet members: "they're insufficiently effusive in praising him"

Friends say that if Trump goes with a grand shakeup, his implicit message would be: "I get it. I'm moving on. I get that I can do a better job." A top aide added: "He's never going to say he did a bad job."

The sources say Trump feels ill-served by not just his staff but also by several of his Cabinet officials. Trump has two complaints about Cabinet members: Either they're tooting their own horns too much, or they're insufficiently effusive in praising him as a brilliant diplomat, etc.

Does the Senate have to approve that?

Doesn't matter. Mitch will be down.

Like the British Queen. You can't turn your back on her.

Come to think of it, they should ALL back away from him. Quickly.

If a majority of the cabinet decided the president was un-fit for office they could remove him. I think there is a good case Trump is mentally unstable. But another of the fail-safes like the electoral college that is suppose to keep megalomaniacs out of the office that do not seem to work.
