Trump is not even in office and the commotion is already starting! Is he firing people before they even have one day on the job?

It’s going to be a fun 4 years (or however long it takes from him to either resign, or drop dead from a heart attack or stroke). ---

He tried to get high level security clearances for some of his kids. That’s pretty awful. “People are saying” that this was an attempt to get insider information for his businesses. ---

I’m happy to see many large cities have already said they will not cooperate with Trump’s deportation scheme and will fight back. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Seattle, etc ---

No, it came from Trinopus, whose consciously using a standard Trumpism against Trump himself, and is putting it in inverted commas so you will realise what he is doing. Or, in brief, whoosh. ---

Turns out, Christie was likely dumped in retribution for an old grudge. Christie prosecuted Trump’s son-in-law’s father in New Jersey for corruption. Revenge served cold, but always served by Agent Orange. ---

Christie was a liability because of the investigation into his subordinates’ involvement in the bridge closure clusterfarble. My guess is that it will devolve into, “What did Christie know and when did he know it?” ---

> [@Me\_Billy](#): > > Trump is ALREADY stirring up a ruckus… > > Trump is not even in office and the commotion is already starting! > > Is he firing people before they even have one day on the job? (post shortened) Is Trump stirring up a ruckus, OR is the LSM/DNC/Hillary worshippers stirring up many unverified ruckuses in order to generate advertising dollars and support? It seems to me that only the sanctuary city issue has been verified by legitimate outside sources. ---

Not everyone who voted for Mrs. Clinton is a “Hillary worshiper”. Is everyone who voted for donald a “Trump worshiper”? Lots of us voted against someone in this election, sadly. ---
