I’m glad to see Trump is not afraid to get rid of people who are not doing the job he expects. Dead wood is a plague in an organization.

His first EO, or Decree, r whatever he calls it should be to instantly repeal Civil Service and his second should then be to abolish the EPA the rest of the regulatory agencies.

I don’t like Donald Trump’s positions on a lot of things; however, the MSM is panicking by making such comparisons. The more outlandish they become, the more votes he will receive, because of alternate media showing and telling enough fair-minded people that the MSM is lying and distorting the story to the point of becoming the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party. There’s nothing that Independent voters hate more than being lied to and fed propaganda. I therefore feel strongly that what the MSM is doing will backfire on them: they don’t have the power to control the message anymore, but they can’t seem to give up trying. Their continual “braying at the moon” about Mr. Trump as well as some other topics will expose their hidden agendas completely and lead them to becoming ridiculed rather than respected. Short version: Truth lovers win.

GASP! Would the media actually do that?! (sarcasm off)
Well, it is shared by WaPo, what more could be said.

Gee a leader willing to fire people rather then ride bad decisions down in flames.

Wow, that thought just gave me a flashback...

Sounds like he was trying to build his own little apparatus within the Trump campaign. It works when somebody competent and knowledgeable and with a fair bit of luck, otherwise you look like a problem waiting to be solved.

Looks like he was hired (at Manafort's recommendation) to fill state director roles in battleground states but was making it clear that state directors would report to him.

In other words, he was building his own little power base.

He also p!ssed Trump when he negotiate a fundraising agreement with the RNC but left Nevada out of the agreement.

No idea what the implications of that were, but I would bet Wiley was pulling another little power play.

This is a complete fabrication, because we know that Trump hates Women, and he would never believe Karen over Wiley. It can’t be true, the media has told me otherwise!

CNN says campaign chairman Paul Manafort called Wiley yesterday to tell him Trump wanted to fire him:

When the boss says "push a button on a guy," I push a button.

Donald Trump is going to sack a lot of people before he is done.

That's why we are supporting him.

Reagan fired John Sears (and also lost Black and Lake) the day of the New Hampshire primary in 1980. Yawn.

“Like it’s the 50s or something! :)”

And I love it.

Trump is going to be a breath of fresh air...actually, he already is.
