WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s former chief of staff and current special envoy to Northern Ireland said Thursday that he’s resigning from his diplomatic post.

“I called [Secretary of State] Mike Pompeo last night to let him know I was resigning from that. I can’t do it. I can’t stay,” Mick Mulvaney told CNBC in an exclusive interview.

“Those who choose to stay, and I have talked with some of them, are choosing to stay because they’re worried the president might put someone worse in,” Mulvaney said. But he said other officials may not stay.

Trump, during a Wednesday rally outside the White House, encouraged thousands of supporters to march to the Capitol to protest what historically have been ceremonial proceedings. Trump returned to the White House after his speech and later told supporters in a tweeted video “you have to go home now” but he didn’t condemn the violence.

1. This is why he needs to be removed NOW

[Algernon Moncrieff]

13. Yes. Now.

[olegramps]

47. He is still a asshole in my book along with every other damn Republican.

Nothing but a pack of racists bastards. That is the only thing they stand for. Hated, hatred, and more hatred. They thrive on hatred like bacteria thrives on rotten putrid garbage. That was Trump's only message and one that bought him the office of chief maggot.

[Cha]

51. I guess some assholes have a line in

the sand.. this being trump planning & executing a Domestic Terrorist Attack on the Capitol.. in a FAILED COUP Attempt.

[Mike Nelson]

2. Wow...

... look who just fell out of the turnip truck. Bye, Mick... we won't miss you.

[thesquanderer]

3. Every ambassador should resign.

We can live without ambassadors for a few weeks. But no ambassador can possibly legitimately represent this president/administration in whatever country s/he is serving in.

[TomDaisy]

4. burn in hell.

[SamKnause]

5. Too little too late.

You are partly responsible for the mess this country is in.

You are part of the problem, not the solution.

Fuck off !!!

[AZ8theist]

17. Exactly. Spineless fucking worm...

[sop]

6. Trump's latest act of insurrection should convince the "let's move on for the good of the country"

crowd this despicable POS must be prosecuted...for the good of the country.

[Hotler]

8. +1....

[Escurumbele]

38. They don't resign because "it is for the good of the country", they want to be forgotten ASAP

These are all enablers and must own every criminal action that was done by the buffoon because they enabled it.

So...FU, Mulvaney!

[lonely bird]

7. So another gutless turd finally locates the spine he lost

Big fuckin’ deal.

Mick has the same blood on his hands that everyone else in the administration and Republican Party does with the qualified exception of Romney.

[IronLionZion]

9. Very brave of you Mick. During the Brexit border issue in Northern Ireland.

2 more weeks of this shit until Biden appoints good people to fix this flaming pile of garbage.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. Nice that it's about you, Mick. Never would have guessed. /nt

[democrank]

11. Cry me a river, Mick.

[AllyCat]

12. Put someone worse in?? So is he admitting he is terrible?

45 MUST BE REMOVED

[blue neen]

42. Exactly.

[onecent]

14. Trump NEEDS TO BE GONE...AS WELL AS SOME OF HIS FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rocktivity]

15. Cue the DU official "Cry Me A River" String Quartet!

And I hope Mulvaney had the decency to give Trump two weeks' notice.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. He doesn't want to have to vote on 25th Amendment. . . . nt

[stopdiggin]

49. Not involved with the 25th -- but, whatever (nt)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

50. Secretary of the Treasury is not a cabinet member? Wait, am I thinking of Mnuchin?

I probably got the two positions cross-wired.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

52. I was confused about names. Carry on. . . . nt

[Fla Dem]

18. Too little, Too Late.

You were a enabler for his entire term in office because it suited your purposes and the purposes of the Republican party. You allowed him to abuse the office because he appointed the judges to courts that the Republicans wanted and the The Federalist Society recommended. He was/and is a racist President which served the RW agenda of racist Governors, Representatives and Senators. But you didn't care.

Now you and other Trump officials are trying to get the Trump stench off you. Well it won't work. You will forever be tried to this traitor to American Democracy.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. Jumping off the Titanic when the water is up to his neck.

What a brave and remarkable statement.
he's probably just using his comp time.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. This, the same guy who said

[riversedge]

24. We know Mick is no hero.

[BumRushDaShow]

27. People like him

were all enablers. And the bizarre thing is that these people are highly educated. But they are apparently very ambitious and that means that they are willing to compromise away any modicum of morals and ethics in order to expand their resumes.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Notice he called Pompeo, not the disfunctional White House. Also, Pence sent NG, not tRump

It's as if the tRump regime is trying to function around tRump and involve him as little as possible.

[myohmy2]

22. "the president might put someone worse in..."

...trump's getting more and more desperate and dangerous...

...do something, Congress...

...impeach...

[riversedge]

23. seems the ones thinking of resigning have high marks for themselves. ..

Trump is the same as 8 months ago --as he has always been.
