The whole spun up story about the whole 25th amendment talk on right wing media had him ready to fire everyone.

His handlers have learned if they can buy a few days he will see a new squirrel and be distracted.

So they leaked the story to make him feel like it was almost over and now other things he sees on right wing media will make him move on.

Or admittly I am full of shit. I know I am batshit crazy thinking I can understand this administrations thinky.
