Trump fires acting AG after Justice Department staff told not to defend refugee order

I can’t wait to see who’s fired next on “Federal Apprentice”. Stay tuned. The producer has at least a 4-year contract.

Can’t help but smile.

This guy isn’t putting up with insubordination.

We’re going to have a few changes in our diplomatic corp also, if this same guideline rules the day.

This makes it easy to clear the traitors out.

Notice the viciousness of the pool reporter:

Reporter claims statement,made by Mr. Short “sounded like (Trump).”

Is Mr. Short doing verbal impersonations of the President?

Media BS!!!!!
