The Narcissist can't stand the thought of people walking away from him that he stops them from doing so just so he can be the one to end things.... This guy is in charge of the most powerful country in the world and he has the mind of an ill-adjusted child...

:laugh3:
Two arseholes falling out, great! |
Turns out hiring people because they are good on Fox news is not that good an idea.
Bolton was too much of an Iran hawk anyway. He'd have happily taken the country to war. |
Bolton was an arsehole, i'm glad he has gone. The situation is hilarious though

Full trumpian list of all who have been fired or resigned so far
It's very long Compiled by the guardian Spoiler: Latest departure 519 days in the role John Bolton Fired on 10 September 2019 Trump's 3rd national security adviser Trump announced that he fired Bolton over Twitter, just days after reports emerged that the then national security adviser opposed the president’s secret plan to hold peace talks with the Taliban at Camp David. The rest 882 days in the role Dan Coats Resigned on 15 August 2019 Trump's 1st National intelligence director The relationship between Coats and Trump was marked by turbulence. Coats’ public, and sometimes personal, disagreements with Trump over policy and intelligence included Russian interference in the US election and North Korean nuclear capabilities. Read more 806 days in the role Alex Acosta Resigned on 12 July 2019 Trump's 1st Labor secretary Acosta was under fire for having granted Jeffrey Epstein immunity from federal prosecution in 2008, following sex trafficking ring investigation. The president told reporters Acosta called him and that it was the secretary’s decision. Read more 687 days in the role Sarah Sanders Resigned on 13 June 2019 Trump's 2nd White House press secretary Sanders, who had not held a press briefing for a record 94 days on the day she announced her departure, has been a hugely divisive figure, having repeatedly made false claims on behalf of the president - including about the circumstances around FBI director James Comey's firing. Read more 487 days in the role Kirstjen Nielsen Resigned on 7 April 2019 Trump's 2nd Homeland security secretary Nielsen defended Trump’s most controversial policies, including demands for a border wall, which caused a 35-day government shutdown, his declaration of a national emergency to access funds for the wall, and the family separating 'zero-tolerance policy' at the border with Mexico. Read more 773 days in the role Linda McMahon Resigned on 29 March 2019 Trump's 1st Administrator of the Small Business Administration The former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment was one of the five women serving in Trump’s cabinet. She stepped down by saying “it had truly been the honor of a lifetime to serve our country in this administration”. Reports suggest that McMahon will move on to run the pro-Trump Super Pac, America First 246 days in the role Bill Shine Resigned on 8 March 2019 Trump's 4th White House communications director Trump became disillusioned with the former Fox News executive after reports claimed that Shine failed to grasp the wider media ecosphere, past his former employers. In a statement by Sarah Sanders she clarified that they expect Shine to serve as a “senior advisor” to Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign. 710 days in the role James Mattis Resigned on 31 December 2018 Trump's 1st secretary of defense Resigned on Dec. 20, one day after Trump decided to pull troops out of Syria. Another reason cited for his departure in his resignation letter was differing viewpoints with the President. Mattis was in favor of NATO as opposed to Trump. Read more 654 days in the role Ryan Zinke Left on 15 December 2018 Trump's 1st interior secretary Zinke's legacy as head of the interior department will be advancing oil and gas drilling and mining on or near public land, rolling back protections for threatened species and shrunking national monuments. He's quiting because he could not “justify spending thousands of dollars defending myself and my family against false allegations,” he said. He was not worried about spending $139,000 for his department on three sets of double doors. Read more 142 days in the role John Kelly Announced on 10 December 2018 Trump's 2nd chief of staff The retired Marine Corps general has spent 16 months in the position, replacing Reince Priebus. Trump reportedly wanted him to impose order on a White House riven by factionalism and rivalry. Instead of settling things, Kelly v Trump became a fixture of DC gossip. Bob Woodward marked that in his book Fear, noting that Kelly called Trump an “idiot” at the head of a “Crazytown” administration. Read more 636 days in the role Jeff Sessions Fired on 7 November 2018 Trump's 1st Attorney general The president has attacked Sessions in public, since the attorney general recused himself from the Mueller investigations in March 2017, within two months of Trump taking office. In May 2017, the deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller, to oversee the investigation after Trump fired FBI chief James Comey. That investigation continued ever since without Sessions being involved. Read more 620 days in the role Nikki Haley Resigned on 9 October 2018 Trump's 1st US ambassador to UN A former governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley has been one of Trump’s most high-profile lieutenants, serving as the administration’s ambassador to the United Nations. There, most notably, she withdrew the US from the UN’s human rights council, which she went on to describe as a “cesspool of political bias”. Read more 586 days in the role Don McGahn Announced on 29 August 2018 Trump's 1st White House counsel McGahn worked as an attorney on Trump’s presidential campaign before taking his job in the White House. He drew the spotlight after a bombshell New York Times report said he had been cooperating extensively with Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference. The president called him "a John Dean type ‘RAT’", alluding to the attorney in the same position who turned on Nixon. Read more 503 days in the role Scott Pruitt Resigned on 5 July 2018 Trump's 1st head of the Environmental Protection Agency Rather than spend the EPA’s budget fighting climate change, something he publicly questioned, Scott Pruitt was repeatedly caught spending taxpayer money on a few personal indulgences. Private and first-class flights, a 24/7 security detail and a $43,000 soundproof phone booth are just a few of many questionable purchases. After too many scandals to count, he eventually resigned. Now he can fully dedicate himself to his wife’s Chick-fil-A franchise, an opportunity he brokered through his EPA contacts. 445 days in the role Tom Bossert Resigned on 10 April 2018 Trump's 1st homeland security adviser A veteran of the Bush administration, Bossert's was the face of the organization in a busy 2017 hurricane season but his most prominent moment under Trump came when he was victim of a prank email by someone claiming to be Jared Kushner. He resigned briefly after John Bolton arrived as Trump’s national security adviser. Read more 249 days in the role Michael Anton Left on 8 April 2018 Trump's 1st spokesman, National Security Council You may know him as Publius Decius Mus, a pseudonym he used in the Claremont Review when comparing the 2016 election to Flight 93, the plane that crashed in a field in Pennsylvania on 9/11. Read more 407 days in the role David Shulkin Fired on 28 March 2018 Trump's 1st secretary of veterans affairs Brought to the VA under Barack Obama, Shulkin was the only Trump nominee to be unanimously confirmed. But rumours of a toxic atmosphere within his department started to circulate, policy disagreements with Trump nominees were reported and a taxpayer-funded trip to Europe with his wife caused controversy. Shulkin said he learned he was fired when Trump tweeted the news. The White House – attempting to place a defense official in temporary charge while Trump's personal physician was confirmed – insisted he had resigned. Read more 395 days in the role HR McMaster Left on 22 March 2018 Trump's 2nd national security adviser A serving army general, McMaster succeeded Michael Flynn and brought military experience to a key role. But he was never considered an ideological fit for the president, with some advisers repeatedly accusing the general of being hostile to elements of the Trump agenda. Eventually McMaster resigned, to be replaced by the Bush-era hawk John Bolton. Read more 264 days in the role John Dowd Resigned on 22 March 2018 Trump's 1st lead lawyer Trump’s lead attorney in the Russia investigation resigned, protesting his “love” for the president, days after it was reported that he would be replaced by Joseph DiGenova. In the event, he wasn't. Read more 420 days in the role Andrew McCabe Fired on 16 March 2018 Trump's 1st deputy director of the FBI Fired 28 hours before he would have retired with full benefits, making his seemingly the most vindictive of all Trump's firings. McCabe had already resigned, in January, after repeated public chiding by Trump on Twitter. He has suggested his dismissal was part of an effort to undermine the investigation into Russian interference in the US election. Read more 405 days in the role Rex Tillerson Fired on 13 March 2018 Trump's 1st secretary of state Tillerson had reportedly been considering resigning since the summer of 2017, only to be talked out of it by the vice-president, Mike Pence. Tensions simmered, though, particularly after it was reported that the secretary of state had called the president a “****ing moron”. Finally, Trump fired him. Read more 99 days in the role Steve Goldstein Fired on 13 March 2018 Trump's 1st under secretary of state for public diplomacy and affairs After releasing a statement that Rex Tillerson did not know why he was fired and found out via Twitter, Goldstein was fired for contradicting the official account. Read more 416 days in the role John McEntee Fired on 12 March 2018 Trump's 1st personal aide McEntee got his start on the campaign team, as a trip director. In the White House he was Trump's personal aide until reports circulated that he was struggling to obtain the necessary security clearances. Abruptly fired and escorted out, he then joined Trump’s 2020 campaign. Read more 410 days in the role Gary Cohn Resigned on 6 March 2018 Trump's 1st director of the National Economic Council The former Goldman Sachs No 2 was a rare experienced professional in the Trump White House. He was also a Democrat who reportedly called the president “dumb as ****”. Trump's reaction to the lethal white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville in August wasn't enough to make him resign. Trump’s plan to levy tariffs on steel and aluminum was. Cohn walked. Read more 405 days in the role Roberta Jacobson Resigned on 1 March 2018 Trump's 1st US ambassador to Mexico Jacobson, an Obama appointee, had to wait for a drawn-out confirmation process before taking the role in Mexico. By April 2016, when she finally got in, Trump's wall campaign had gathered momentum, sparking tense relations between Mexico and the US. She lasted a little over a year under Trump before resigning, citing how the relationship between the two countries was "at a crutical moment". 196 days in the role Hope Hicks Resigned on 28 February 2018 Trump's 3rd White House communications director Despite having zero political experience when she joined the Trump team in 2015, Hicks quickly gained Trump’s trust and rose to become an indispensable aide and, eventually, the president’s fourth White House communications director. Her fall, as sudden as her rise was swift, came one day after she testified before the House intelligence committee and admitted that telling “white lies” was part of her job. Read more 332 days in the role Josh Raffel Resigned on 27 February 2018 Trump's 1st senior communications aid A Democrat who reportedly donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, Raffel was close to Kushner and Ivanka Trump in his communications role and a go-to figure in any PR crisis. He must have been a busy man before he resigned, citing "family reasons". 274 days in the role Rachel Brand Resigned on 20 February 2018 Trump's 1st associate attorney general Rachel Brand, a Trump appointee, spent nine months in the Department of Justice as they endured a wave of attacks by Donald Trump and his supporters. She decided enough was enough and took leave to work at Walmart instead – as a head of global governance. 385 days in the role David Sorensen Resigned on 9 February 2018 Trump's 1st White House speechwriter In the same week as Rob Porter headed for the door, Sorensen left the White House amid domestic abuse allegations which he denied. He “didn’t want the White House to have to deal with this distraction”, he said. 383 days in the role Rob Porter Resigned on 7 February 2018 Trump's 1st White House staff secretary Porter resigned after both his ex-wives went public with allegations of domestic abuse, which he denied.

Critical of the administration’s direction, she said: “It’s going to not be OK. It’s not. It’s so bad.” Read more 231 days in the role Tom Price Resigned on 29 September 2017 Trump's 1st secretary of health and human services Trump's first health secretary chartered private air travel for himself to the tune of more than $1m.

Price resigned, completing the shortest tenure of any HHS chief in history. Read more 243 days in the role Keith Schiller Unknown on 20 September 2017 Trump's 1st director of Oval Office operations Trump’s longtime bodyguard was reportedly unhappy with a nearly halved paycheck. “I hate everyone in the White House!

Later, it was revealed that he was advising the RNC on security for their 2020 convention, picking up $15,000 a month. 217 days in the role Sebastian Gorka Left on 25 August 2017 Trump's 1st Deputy assistant to the president A fringe Anglo-Hungarian rightwing presence with a vaguely defined White House role, the self-professed gun enthusiast notoriously told Recoil magazine he carried two guns and a copy of the US constitution with him every day. The New York Times reported that another staff switch did for Gorka – the president’s then incoming chief of staff, John Kelly, personally forced him out. Read more 210 days in the role Steve Bannon Left on 18 August 2017 Trump's 1st White House chief strategist The campaign manager-turned-White House strategist returned to Breitbart, saying “I’ve got my hands back on my weapons” and intending to go "to war for Trump”. But then the Guardian obtained a copy of Fire and Fury, Michael Wolff's tell-all about the first year of the Trump administration, in which Bannon was extensively quoted and called Donald Trump Jr “treasonous”. Bridges burned, Bannon lost his Breitbart role and set himself up as a sort of freelance far-right gadfly. Read more 10 days in the role Anthony Scaramucci Fired on 31 July 2017 Trump's 2nd White House communications director He came, he mooched, he got fired. The communications director's all-too-brief tenure – 10 whole days from appetiser to coffee and the door – will forever be remembered for his decision to call a New Yorker writer and unleash a profanity-laden tirade about his White House colleagues. The result? A mainstream media debate about the rights and wrongs of publishing the phrase: “I’m not trying to suck my own cock.” Read more 192 days in the role George Gigicos Left on 31 July 2017 Trump's 1st White House director of scheduling “Wow, what a crowd” Trump told a rally in Phoenix, “what a crowd.” Days later, dissatisfied with said crowd amid reports the venue had been half-empty, he dispensed with the loyal aide who had run the rally. Read more 189 days in the role Reince Priebus Resigned on 28 July 2017 Trump's 1st chief of staff The former Republican National Committee chair spent seven months in the White House, at no point free of speculation about the timing of his exit. He was supposed to bring inside-the-beltway savvy to Trump's team of outsiders.

Read more 182 days in the role Sean Spicer Resigned on 21 July 2017 Trump's 1st White House press secretary Spicer spent his first day on the job berating journalists for accurately reporting the size of Trump’s inauguration crowd. Things went downhill from there. Highlights included a snafu over his choice of words when discussing the Holocaust, trying to define the difference between a border wall and a fence and an SNL impersonation by Melissa McCarthy that went viral, Trump was reportedly angered to see a key male aide impersonated by a woman. Spicer resigned after disagreeing with Trump over the hiring of Scaramucci. Read more 167 days in the role Walter Shaub Resigned on 6 July 2017 Trump's 1st director, US Office of Government Ethics When the top ethics watchdog in the federal government resigns, a president may expect the press to have some questions. When he resigns and takes a parting shot in which he reminds the president that "public service is a public trust", those questions are bound to be pointed. In the case of Shaub, another Obama holdover, they were. Read more 73 days in the role Mike Dubke Left on 18 May 2017 Trump's 1st White House communications director Trump's second White House communications director was a longtime Republican operative brought in to lighten the load on the first, a struggling Sean Spicer.

Read more 110 days in the role KT McFarland Left on 10 May 2017 Trump's 1st deputy national security adviser designate Hired as a deputy to Flynn, the former Fox News analyst stepped down after McMaster essentially hired her replacement, Dina Powell.

Read more 109 days in the role James Comey Fired on 9 May 2017 Trump's 1st director of the FBI Comey and Trump had a love-hate relationship. After the FBI director announced that the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server had reopened, 11 days before polling day in 2016, Trump was full of praise. In May 2017, though, Trump ousted the FBI director, saying: “The way [Comey] handled the conclusion of the email investigation was wrong.” Unofficially, the FBI's investigation into alledged collusion with Russia might have been a factor. Comey thinks it was – and has said so in a blockbuster book that has set the two men at war. 101 days in the role Angella Reid Fired on 1 May 2017 Trump's 1st chief usher The White House usher, the second African American and the first woman to hold the job, was appointed by Obama in 2011.

Read more 20 days in the role Gerrit Lansing Resigned on 9 February 2017 Trump's 1st White House chief digital officer Gerrit Lansing, previously head of the digital department for the Republican National Committee, was looking to pick up a similar role under the new administration.
