So... I'm starting to wonder if Donald J. Trump is a Russian intelligence asset.
First we have Rex Tillerson fired, the day after he makes a strong statement against Russia's nerve agent attack in Salisbury. The timing could be unrelated, since we've been talking about him being out. Although the White House says they had informed him the week before, Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein said that no, Tillerson wasn't planning on leaving, and only found out by tweet that he was fired. Goldstein was then himself fired. Interesting.
Next, the talk of the town was that H.R. McMaster would the next to go from the National Security Director post, and that Trump had "made up his mind" that it was time for him to go. This happened... one day after McMaster denounced the Russian attack using pretty standard diplomatic language. And you start to wonder if there's a pattern here.
Andrew McCabe was fired today as Assistant FBI Director, because apparently he was too hard on Hillary during the election :'(. Two days before his retirement date on Sunday. I'm sure there was no political motive for this. Nothing to do with him working on the investigation of Trump.
Oh, and if anyone's wondering about Defense Secretary Mattis... well, no one is talking about him all that much. Despite the fact that he was on the board of directors for Theranos, where the CEO and President were both just arrested for fraud. So while we've been talking about how the Trump presidency will be okay because there are "adults in the room", be aware that the adult supply is running very thin.
