Whatever or whoever prompted Trump to authorize jettisoning Flynn was a HUGE mistake...now the leftists will use this situation to prove how Trump is not fit to be President. The decision was foolishly meant to curb criticism, but unfortunately the decision only gave the left more ammunition to prove that Trump is not a good leader, either he makes bad choices in hiring or weak in that he listened to bad advice. Either way, he has opened the floodgates of wrath. Bad advice to oust Flynn...he should have given all his critics the middle finger and told the press that they are not qualified to question his decision-making....
I know of no other “incidents” . I disagreed with Flynn on his “ON NOTICE” bull crap about IRAN doing their SOVEREIGN “thing” but with respect to your opinion please respect mine that this was weakness on skates and they will tear him a new one now . I am stunned.I blame him straight up.
You likely do not know anymore than I do about this. I do not know anything about it except for what is in the news which may or may not be true. I will give Trump the benefit of the doubt on this. If the President no longer trusted NSA Flynn for whatever reason, it is probably best to replace him now and not wait for him to fail later.
I know this— This “TRUST” nonsense is otally destroyed by Trump taking JAMES COMEY s FBI director!! Does Trump “Trust” that son of a bitch? Woeee, Give me shelter!!
Trump had no choice but to accept Flynn's resignation. Among other things, Flynn lied to Pence, Trump's second in command. There is no way Trump could or would let that slide.
Doesn’t matter. Leftists run at 110% on the outrage meter at all times no matter what we do. Best to just ignore them, also by 110% and at all times.
Trump was not well served by his “advisors” on this one.
Preibus’ head may soon be on the chopping block.
“I get the image of you on the Trump train but precariously hanging off the side with your feet dragging”
Yep. During the campaign Trump fired people from his staff every other week. That’s how he operates. He has high standards.
These snowflakes crying about Mike Flynn are probably part of the weak kneed crowd that surrendered to Hillary back in July.
We have to realize, we are not even a month into the presidency. This will be a non issue in couple weeks. Now if Trump’s cabinet is still having these problems in a year, I’d worry little. We’ll make it through.
You are misinformed sir. Flynn was totally and completely fired after he apologized for a misunderstanding by pense!! It was stated clearly by Shawn Spicer in the presser. Look!Nobody here — NOBODY—has promoted Trump more than me. Nobody.But when I see this cut and run capitulation it makes me vomit. I have no idea about the anything but what I see. I see a sickening weakness and a HORRIBLE mistake in judgment in the face of enemy fire!! Not good. COWARDLY!!
I had heard that earlier today in various news reports, that this is not the only incident troubling the Trump admin on Flynn.
But I definitely respect your opinion. There is nothing worse than letting them get a scalp. Nothing.
This is like tossing chum into piranha waters and then going skinny dipping.
And that is what leads me to believe that something was up with Flynn, and there was no getting around it.
You are a pathetic Trump hater. I’ve seen a whole bunch of your posts. You need to leave FR and go to DU.
“Self” should be in the “Blogger and Personal” section your opinion is not news.
You can’t read can you? Are you dyslexic?
Hey, you need a chill pill dude.
You don’t know any more than the rest of us.
And don’t even bother trying to tell what you “think” you know.
I’ve read your posts not only on this thread but others, and it’s the same direction.
STFU.
Pence was supposedly lied to...or kept in the dark...whatever you want to call it...and was not happy. Trump couldn’t ignore that fact.
Trusting you NSA is a bit different than trusting the FBI director who the President does not interface with every day. FBI is DOJ. Comey works for AG Sessions. I would think he was consulted when the decision to keep him was made. I guess you would be happier with hard core conservative stalwarts like JEB! or maybe Hillary as POTUS?
This is a chess game. Well, not a “game” but you get the idea? You ever win a chess game (or a war - and this is a war) without pain and sacrifice?
You can’t campaign on draining the swamp and not expect casualties.
Yuge mistake!
I am shocked at the disloyalty.
Why did he ignore Comey? Comey was a HACK for hillary!
