The ongoing firing, resignations or force outs of the people Trump hires continue to take place while the country and its people are living in a pandemic time. The latest casualty, the President's press secretary, Stephanie Grisham who Trump appointed to the job last June. She had not held one formal press briefing since her appointment because the Trump administration does not like to brief the White House reporters and then take questions from them. Grisham was Trump's third press secretary in just over 3 years.
Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly resigned Tuesday after making unflattering remarks toward Navy Capt. Brett Crozier, skipper of the U.S.S. Roosevelt who disclosed that many navy personnel aboard his ship had tested positive for the coronavirus and that those crew members needed to leave the ship for treatment. Modly fired and removed Crozier of his command and called him stupid, laced with profanity. When Capt. Crozier left his ship, the men under his command gave him a tremendous sound off of approval. The acting Navy Secretary's actions represents another of so many examples how Trump's people act so much like himself with personal attacks against others.
In the 39 months Trump has been in office, his administration is a swinging door. His appointments have come and gone with the wind, and when they leave he has to find fault with their performance even though they were ditto heads. This is a very sad White House that grows worse with time. What a shame.
