How would Trump react if his whole Cabinet quit?

He can't blacklist 'em from future employment-most of them would just go back to the corporations they used to run.

And they've all got more money than several Gods, so they'd be fine even if he could blacklist 'em.

I think it's a real possibility they could all just bail...maybe during one of the live tv meetings-other than Dr. Carson, who'd probably just sleep through it. If Congress is tiptoeing away and Mattis already openly defied him by delaying the transgender troop ban, is it really that hard to imagine at least a large faction of the Cabinet up and saying "we're outta here"?

How d'ya think Hair Fuhrer would take that?

...he fired them, for the good of the country. He would say they are responsible for all his problems and he'll hire a fresh group to continue the effort to "Make America White... er, Great Again!"

DeVos is going nowhere!
Same with Pruitt.

They were appointed to destroy something and they gain NOTHING by walking out on their exalted leader.

Oh, and I loved the "Dr. Carson slept through it" part!
