@realDonaldTrump

Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!

What would you expect from a president who has the maturity level of a sixth grader.....

Yeh, and he didn't inform Tillerson in advance. Class act, that Donnie Dotard.

Should be fun to read Tillerson’s book when it comes out. Especially the “moron” quotes. Wonder if he’ll go on the late night comedy shows and tweak the moron?

T.V. PUNDIT WHO BLEW THE FINANCIAL CRISIS COULD BE TRUMP’S NEXT GARY COHN

The Dotard is expressing support for Kudlow. Sounds like the sort of guy only Donny and Whell could love...

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018...next-gary-cohn

For those who need a refresher, Kudlow’s résumé includes:

Time serving in the Reagan administration, where he espoused the sort of supply-side economic policies that conservatives have sexual fantasies about;

Seven years as Bear Stearns’s chief economist, during which he was addicted to drugs and alcohol, and was subsequently forced to resign on categorically unfriendly terms after failing to show up for a huge event at which he was the featured speaker (Kudlow maintains he was “sick,” and that “a communications gap” was to blame for him not calling someone to say he wouldn’t be coming);

A job as the talking-head host of The Larry Kudlow Show on CNBC;

A record of no good, very bad predictions that would generally preclude a person from being in the running for a job as the president’s top economic adviser, but in Trump world make him a front-runner. Some of Kudlow’s greatest hits include the time, on December 7, 2007, he said: “There’s no recession coming. The pessimistas were wrong. It’s not going to happen. . . . The Bush boom is alive and well. It’s finishing up it sixth consecutive year with more to come.” Or on January 16, 2008, when he declared: “[B]anks are taking significant steps to repair their balance sheets. Even though some people might not be happy with the speed, the reality is things are improving.” Or when he predicted, on February 5, 2008: “I’m going to bet that the economy will be rebounding sometime this summer, if not sooner. We are in a slow patch. That’s all. It’s nothing to get up in arms about.” Then, of course, there was his poetic attempt to save face, when he wrote a blog post for CNBC called “The Therapeutic Power of Recessions.”

(CNN)President Donald Trump's longtime personal aide John McEntee was fired because he is currently under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security for serious financial crimes, a source familiar with his firing told CNN.

Only the best people...

It's now the 'best of the best' since so few are available.
Of course, best of the best is an impossibility.

Tillerson was probably the only one left in Trump's orbit that had any class.

Very good point, going forward only the yes men/women and god forbid if anyone speaks the truth.

Maybe Mueller can put the squeeze on this bum too.
