He specifically mentioned Priebus, Bannon, and Spicer, and perhaps others.
Also, he said that more duties would be given to Jared and Ivanka.
What the hell is hapening?!

(14,971 posts)Firing a bunch of people won't fix a thing. I read that he thinks those three and some cabinet members don't praise him as much as he wants,

(32,627 posts)Nixon had mass firings before he resigned.
Haldeman and Erlichman were both fired, and a bunch of others. Can't be sure about this, I'd have to look it up.
But after the staffers were fired, Nixon resigned about a month (maybe two) later.
Of course, it all had to do with the TAPES that he finally turned over to the special prosecutor. Once those were turned over, he was dead meat and he knew it.
Hang in there Democrats - maintain your courage and resolve to see this through.

(13,081 posts)My personal conspiracy theory is that it's obvious bullshit, but they have some weird credibility, and all this is designed to put pressure on Trump. Their own personal, precisely targeted, disinformation campaign.
Basically an elaborate, two-person, Twitter resistance.

(12,409 posts)that the conspiracy crowd has been playing him for a fool. Who knows, he may return to the candidate that promised health care for all the other sort of normal thoughts that spewed from his mouth.
I think he is in a unique position to rule both parties if he were to stick with his populist notions.
It is hard to believe that he will remove himself from the daily adulation he must demand of Priebus and the like. He surrounds himself with such toadies so as to convince himself he is smarter than anyone else in the room.

(62,444 posts)The guy can be manipulated. He's just got the wrong people doing it.
He doesn't give a shit about policy, but if he could understand what would make him actually popular, you think he might go for it. But, on the other hand, his personal greed, interests, ignorance and immaturity, IMHO are fatal flaws such that I don't even think he could manage "doing the right thing for the wrong reasons."

He will find a new staff that will make the world admire him over every other human being in human history.
