Why hasn't anyone been fired over the last week?

I see that all of the cabinet members, advisers, and spokespeople are kissing Trump’s ass to avoid taking the blame.

But shouldn’t someone, or really some people, be let go after this disastrous tariff “plan” and the ongoing fallout? Is anyone even asking for their heads? Hearings?

He's done really well for himself just refusing to acknowledge reality and pretending everything is great.

This *IS* his agenda... all the buffoonery is making it easier for russia to see what's going on, hack the system etc... it's literally the plan. Be himself, and let shit break...or break it himself like a petulant child.

They are making too much cash insider trading. Soon, though, the shitshow will be to hard to steer and they will abandon Trump.

Trump is literally so fucking off the deep end to do anything but golf and talk about the imaginary conversations he had with mythical people.
