May Not Be Up-to-Date But Trump Tries 24/7
(Many “Acting” Heads & Trump Loves “Acting”)

Trump: “I
will hire and have only the very best people, ever, believe me.” (Sic) Rick
“Oops” Perry Energy Secretary might differ – reports say he plans
to leave.
Trump now has more
turnover in his Cabinet in the
first two and a half years of his presidency than any of the five presidential
predecessors did in their entire first terms.
According to a Brookings Institution report, the resignation
of Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta marks the ninth Cabinet member to
leave the Trump Administration, one more than the previous high under President
George H.W. Bush.
The others who have left or ready to leave:
1.
HHS Secretary,
Tom Price resigned over scandal.
2.
Secretary of
State, Rex Tillerson, fired.
3.
VA Secretary David
Shulkin, resigned over scandal.
4.
AG Jeff Sessions,
fired for not supporting Trump.
5.
Sec. Def. James Mattis,
resigned (or told to leave).
6.
Interior Secretary
Ryan Zinke, resigned over scandal.
7.
DHS Secretary Kirstjen
Nielsen, fired due to poor policy.
8.
John Kelly, left DHS
to become White House CofS, then left that job as well (basically told to
leave).
9.
Labor Secretary
Alexander Acosta cited above.
By comparison:
6 Secretaries departed under Ronald Reagan’s first term; 8 under George H.W.
Bush’s only term; 4 during Bill Clinton’s first term; 2 under George W. Bush’s first term; and, 3 during
Barack Obama’s first term.
My 2 cents: By any measurement for good management in business or
government, Trump has been and still is: An utter failure.
Or they say in
Texas: “All
hat, no cattle.”
Thanks for stopping by.
