Remember when Donald Trump’s tagline was “You’re fired!”
One might think that he’d be pulling that old standard out again, what with the clown car of a cabinet he’s in charge of.
Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem. Robert Kennedy. With the exception of maybe Marco Rubio (maybe) there’s not a serious person among them.
When the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump couldn’t be prosecuted for any official acts he took as president, he figured the guardrails are off. He could do anything he wanted. And he offered his cabinet pardons in advance, a blanket get-out-jail-free card for any future criminality, because what fun is complete immunity if you don’t have anyone to share it with?
He’d like to fire them. A little cabinet reshuffling might take off a little heat from the Epstein dumpster file. For a little while. But he can’t fire them. They’ve seen under his skirt. They know too many secrets.
