Thirty-seven administration officials who've resigned or been fired under Trump

What does this tell you? When is enough...enough? Is this unstability or just guilt.
President Trump’s administration has seen more turnover than “The Apprentice.” Quite literally, in fact. Trump’s television show would lose 15 people a season; Trump’s administration has lost at least 37 in just over a year. Two-and-a-half seasons of drama, packed into just over 12 months.
Fired
Sally Yates. Deputy attorney general. Days with administration: 11. Refused to enforce Trump’s entry ban.
Preet Bharara. U.S. attorney. Days with administration: 51. Part of purge of U.S. attorneys.

Derek Harvey. Senior director, NSC. Days with administration: 182. Fired following power shift under national security adviser H.R. McMaster.
Anthony Scaramucci. Communications director. Days with administration: 11. Fired by Kelly.

Katie Walsh. Deputy chief of staff. Days with administration: 68. Moved out of administration to work for a pro-Trump PAC.
K.T. McFarland. Deputy national security adviser. Days with administration: 118. Pushed out following power shift under McMaster.
Tera Dahl. Deputy chief of staff, NSC. Days with administration: 166. Reassigned following power shift under McMaster.

Sebastian Gorka. Deputy assistant. Days with administration: 211. Butted heads with Kelly.
William Bradford. Director, Energy. Days with administration: About 120. Past racist comments were made public.
Tom Price. Director of Health and Human Services. Days with administration: 232. Under fire for taking expensive charter flights.

Rob Porter. Staff secretary. Days with administration: 385. Allegations of spousal abuse became public.
Resigned
Michael Dubke. Communications director. Days with administration: 89. Personal reasons.
Walter Shaub. Director of Office of Government Ethics. Days with administration: 181. Concern over ethics rules.
Mark Corallo. Legal team spokesman. Days with administration: 59. Apparently concerned about handling of Trump Tower story.
Sean Spicer. Press secretary. Days with administration: 181. Uncomfortable with hiring of Scaramucci.
Elizabeth Southerland. Director, EPA. Days with administration: 193. Disagreement with direction of department.
Carl Icahn. Special adviser. Days with administration: 211. Resigned in advance of an article about conflicts of interest.
George Sifakis. Public liaison director. Days with administration: 204. Sifakis was an ally of Priebus.
Maliz Beams. Counselor, State. Days with administration: 97. Reported differences with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Elizabeth Shackelford. Political officer, State. Days with administration: 323. Disagreement with direction of department.

John Feeley. Ambassador to Panama. Days with administration: 385 and counting. Disagreement with administration.
Rick Dearborn. Deputy chief of staff. Days with administration: 383 and counting. Joining private sector.
There hasn’t been a recent administration that’s seen so much turnover particularly among members of the senior White House staff. (Nor, it’s safe to say, have there been so many appointees who were fired after past racist comments were made public.)
More have left their position and the party since this article, very telling.

BOBO brought his group of criminals with him from lifelong association. DJT is trying to find a few good men to help drain the swamp creatures.

That's a good thing. If previous presidents had been as involved as they should have been and ran the country themselves (not letting underlings run it), then there would have been quite a few firings in the previous administrations and the swamp would not be so full.

Too bad the people getting fired are people he appointed, that says a lot about his own judgment no matter how you slice it.

All the people from Obama were gone, step one of Trump's agenda, wanna try again? He's paranoid from his crooked "dealings" which is why he wants "his" people to pledge an allegiance to him over the flag. Yeah, Gooo Trump, to you know where.

No it doesn't. He hired them, found out about them, and fired them. Looks like good judgement to me.

No they weren't and aren't. Trump let too many stay. That is one of his mistakes. Trump underestimated the corruption he was to face.

I see and did you give Obama the same consideration when he said you can keep your insurance?

Non-sequiter. Unless you're saying Obama's lie was the same thing as Trump firing incompetent people. Nah. Totally unrelated. I support Trump on firing people who don't work for him in his administration. I knew Obama was lying just as I knew Obama knew he was lying.
