President Donald Trump wants America to know that his plans to remove government officials deemed insufficiently loyal to him is actually for the country’s own good.


When a reporter asked Trump about the purge during a press conference in New Delhi, India, on Tuesday, the President initially downplayed the number of people he felt deserved to be kicked out.

“I don’t think it’s a big problem,” Trump said. “I don’t think it’s very many people.”

He brought up the “very sad situation” with the “fake” whistleblower who reported Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which exposed Trump’s pressure campaign on Ukraine and led to his impeachment.

And I am serious. If any of his goons are left in place we will never get our country back. They need to be gone, from the lowest to the highest. Many of them should be taken straight to jail.

We will then know if the democratic party has what it takes to ENFORCE accountability. The pedal will have hit the metal, so to speak. It will be put up or shut up time.
