Aside from being “too smooth,” he was publicly announcing that he was going to fire government employees an masse. Basically telling the deep state that he was going to destroy them. So naturally, they girded their loins to oppose him. Did the Japanese announce their intentions to bomb Pearl Harbor? Either he’s really dumb, which he’s not. Or he was not serious.
Trump has to be the Obiwan, because only he can withstand their opposition, and make it blow up in their face. May the Force be with him.
I agree that he shouldn’t have said that. It must be done because, when the US goes broke we are going to end up firing every one of them and not just trim the force.
