They call it "exit" now ..? Like they'll be doing a funny jazz-hands goodbye dance out the door? Buh bye unqualified snivelers. Perks gone. Snivel from afar, on one of the 999 hate channels Trump has forced in. Crystal clear that Trump FAILED BADLY - BECAUSE obviously ... everybody ELSE's fault But never fear, bigger blunders ahead: Some of these emptied seats are normally critical during wartime / domestic threat (already frog-marched-out the true experts). GOP core is steadily crumbling, and confirmations will soon face Dem Tsunami. Uh oh These chaos clowns just entertain the ringmaster - cut them loose. it's his destruction-show that must be sacked.

The Truely frightening thing is that the next bunch of people he finds to take this job will be worse. Qualified people with a sense of ethics are not lining up to take jobs in this administration.
1
BlitzCrazy Apr 3, 2026 +1
It’s not like the people he picked in the first place were gems. Kash Patel is maybe the only person in the administration who is stupider than Trump. At this point, you’ll get lousy incompetent duds replacing lousy incompetent duds. The lousy incompetent duds who align themselves with Trump deserve the eventual humiliation they’ll get when they are terminated, so I don’t mind it.

CT_Phipps-Author Apr 3, 2026 +1
Kash is an interesting case because he's nakedly corrupt and awful at his job but he weirdly seems like the most normal member of the administration. Kash uses his job to get free plane rides to his girlfriend's concerts and ride in Lego cars. It's almost endearing versus the psychopathic Nazis and dog murderers.

Also let go of bunch of people from a special division for Iranian counterintelligence right at the time where that is the worst possible thing you could do. Not that the war is justified at all.

Nothing normal about a piece of shit podcaster that can't see straight with no law enforcement experience put in charge of doing investigations for the government

Oh but it can. Every time an authoritarian purges people for not being extreme enough they look for crazier replacements.

But that often means they are less effective at doing... Well anything I suppose...

I mean they're already pretty ineffective. It's like one of the few things that might save us in the end.

In his first term he was going through AGs like tic-tacs and finally tried to get rid of Rosen for one that would finally do what he wanted, declare that the 2020 election was fraudulent to overturn it. A bunch of other people in his administration threatened to all quit en masse if he did it. It can always get worse.
1
StrongAroma Apr 3, 2026 +1
You remember Giuliani et al at the four seasons total landscaping? It's gonna be like that again. Just a parade of less and less competent losers looking for a payday. Too bad so many people are gonna die this time, but hopefully America will wake the f*** up out of whatever f****** shared delusion they're living in and F****** DO SOMETHING.

The last Trump admin killed; what was it? 500,000 people due to denying Covid existed. I may be off by 100k but still…

Americans have always longed for the American Dream so much that it’s become the modern day American Delusion. They all agree something needs to be done, but it’s like we’re already too far along in a sci-fi space odyssey *Wall•E* scenario where everyone’s grown complacent or just plain forgot how to stand up for themselves. They’ll be telling themselves to “look for the helpers”, even as they sift through the charred remains of their peers in some camp a dozen years from now. What’s left of me can run through their fingers like grains of sand.

dancingfordates Apr 3, 2026 +1
Lol that was so funny...
1
Yadahoom Apr 3, 2026 +1
Exactly. These people aren't being fired because they're so evil and horrible, it's because they aren't evil and horrible enough.
1
GreenLost5304 Apr 3, 2026 +1
That’s also a good thing though. These people will be less and less qualified, but which also means worse at doing their jobs, so they’ll be even worse at doing their evil supervillain stuff. Their incompetence may be the only thing that saves us.
1
Prior_Coyote_4376 Apr 3, 2026 +1
This is exactly what happened with the Nazis. They destroyed Germany as a total intellectual and manufacturing powerhouse by repeatedly rooting out anyone who was still connected with reality and didn’t do enough self-destructive loyalty tests. It sucks that it’s happening to America but it’s only a matter of time before fascists collapse on their own incompetence
1

Trump brand barrel scrapers have progressed through any remaining barrel head material, through the floor, and into the joists in search of anyone who could possibly pass even perfunctory Senate hearings without creating a larger scandal.
1
SmoothWander Apr 3, 2026 +1
Yea, that’s the scary part. When qualified people won’t touch it, the bar doesn’t just drop, it disappears.
1
Virtual-Squirrel-725 Apr 3, 2026 +1
Trump is in a tough spot. He only wants people who will be slavishly loyal to his fascist agenda. But nobody competent wants to do it and destroy their reputation for Trump. So the pool of people willing to join his administration are clownishly stupid sycophants.
1
mrgedman Apr 3, 2026 +1
Kash, hegs and jfk are three piss poor examples of 'next guy would be worse'. Naw man, Erik trump might just be better at any of the three jobs, for real
1
orcinyadders Apr 3, 2026 +1
I don’t know if that’s true. These people are all America-hating monsters who exist to kiss Trump’s ass and protect him from the Epstein files and all of his other egregious, evil shit. They’re all as bad as the next person in line.
1
dave__autista Apr 3, 2026 +1
I genuinely dont expect them to be worse. its just gonna be the next ass kisser yesman/woman in line. its the same mold
1
mastad0420 Apr 3, 2026 +1
Or how they just go back to their normal lives after betraying the country. If they are not put in jail by the next administration, we need to make sure they never have a day of peace in society. Every coffee shop, concert, kids play they attend, they need to be peacefully shamed for their crimes.
1
mymikerowecrow Apr 3, 2026 +1
You can't possibly be less qualified than Kash Patel. They might be just as unqualified. But this shows that it is getting more and more difficult to cover for Trump's lies. Pam Bondi did everything she could and it still wasn't good enough.
1
ZephkielAU Apr 3, 2026 +1
No, this is a good thing. I firmly believe someone else has been pulling the strings behind the orange shitgibbon, going off his social media posts (half are clearly written by someone else) and his steady/consistent cabinet of goons that haven't been infighting and a revolving door like his first term. I think after Iran Trump's gotten the shits with whoever that is (Miller? Hegseth?) and is going back to doing things his own way. In the last few weeks we've had a stack of them pushed out. The reason I think it's a good thing is because it could be alluding to MAGA infighting with this shadowy heritage foundation f***** on the out-and-out. Trump sucks, but he's just generally chaotic. Someone else has been relentlessly marching an agenda forward.

JuniperJupiter4 Apr 3, 2026 +1
Has the FBI solved anything recently? I feel like the only win they had was the Kirk kid turning himself in. Didn't they just give up on the Guthrie case? It seems like they just show up after that fact and are like "mm hmm, yes sir-ree, that certainly is a crime you have here."
1
Baby_Fark Apr 3, 2026 +1
Except Patel bungled the shit out of that too. Didn’t he tweet something like “the subject is in custody” like a half hour after the shooting? “Subject” being the wrong word, and then it turned out it was also not even true? Trump voters will never be forgiven for this f****** juvenile ass shit they‘ve put us through.

dat_oracle Apr 3, 2026 +1
u mean the kid with the rifle that didn't match the bullet? aside from that, fbi agents are still competent, even without a smart guy at the top

And the sherrif who brought him in who just suddenly resigned?

pacman_sl Apr 3, 2026 +1
> u mean the kid with the rifle that didn't match the bullet? That's not what his defense said, but surely what they want you to believe. After all saying things true but misleading is practically their duty.

Yep Trump already proved back then he's the worst hiring manager in presidential history, so here we go again.

StrangerFew2424 Apr 3, 2026 +1
Good riddance. Too bad his replacement will be as bad if not worse..
1
Northstar0566 Apr 3, 2026 +1
It's probably happening because we got similar reports for both Bondi and Noem. I said to some friends today when Bondi got canned I wouldn't be shocked if Kash was next. The thing with Trump is he will burn anyone but himself. Ask Mike Pence and so many others from his first term. The wild thing too is we've got so many more months to go, a war, and an unstable economic environment. We are going to see some crazy stuff guys and gals.
1
JBirdale77 Apr 3, 2026 +1
They’ll just give him another job where he’ll do nothing just like Noem and Bondi

Anyone else feel like they are going to take the bad people and find a way to replace them with far worse?

Do celebrate too early. Each one the administration will replace with will be even worse than the last.

mytoemytoe Apr 3, 2026 +1
Also need to recognize that they are firing anyone who isn’t white or male. This is the KKK Government they’ve always dreamed of

Narcissists always throw loyal sycophants under the bus. The narcissist demands the impossible (to be made to look good, no matter how abhorrent their actions). They can never accept they've done anything wrong, so when reality bites, under the bus people go.
1
mok000 Apr 3, 2026 +1
It’s Trump feeling everything is going to shit and he needs to blame someone. Firing people makes him feel good. His chief of staff is battling with cancer and is not completely present, so he gets to follow his reptilian instincts.
1
Taman_Should Apr 3, 2026 +1
It would be funny to preemptively write a review of the “tell-all” books these chuds will try to make money off of a few years from now, or potentially as soon as this year. The “20% off” sticker will be already part of the cover, no need for stores to put it on.

Kash is certainly going to prison
1
StatelyTree Apr 3, 2026 +1
So this is a bit concerning as he mainly wants them gone because he doesn't think they've gone *far enough* in getting revenge on his rivals. These people were 100% lackeys, but he wants even more sycophantic people in that will basically just lock up whoever he doesn't like at the moment. His personal criminal defense lawyers should have never been allowed within 1000 ft of the DoJ, but here we are... 
1
FirmDingo8 Apr 3, 2026 +1
Just Trump's way. If things aren't working out as he wants them (Iran, Epstein, revenge issues) it can't possibly be his fault. How could Donald not be right (in his mind). So blame the lackeys......rather than quiet introspection
1
Potential_Salt_5780 Apr 3, 2026 +1

maeryclarity Apr 3, 2026 +1
I see that Shadow President Miller and his partner in crime Russel Vought are not under threat. Curious because they have been the architects behind so many of these disastrous decisions. I guess they really are the power whispering in Trump's ear then shoving him out in front of a microphone. They're probably cleaning house of Trump's most loyal sycophants because when they invoke the 25th they want the cabinet to agree with them. See if they invoke the 25th but don't impeach Trump then JD will be ACTING President but it doesn't count against the two terms he could serve if elected. I imagine Rubio could be his VP.

Oh no, however will he constantly watch his girlfriend now?
1
EternalAngst23 Apr 3, 2026 +1
This reeks of desperation. Trump knows he’s screwed, and that Republicans are on track for a wipeout at the midterms. He’s not ready to pull out of Iran, and even if he does, it’s unlikely that food and gas prices will come down in the short term (certainly not before November). He’s now trying to make scapegoats out of his cabinet, when in reality, all he’s doing is shuffling deck chairs on the sinking ship that is the Trump administration.

You know what happens during regime change…the next people may be worse than the ones removed. I heard that somewhere.

Nah, he'll probably cling on. He's a male after all, unlike Noem and Bondi... Although he ain't white. hmmm

[deleted] Apr 3, 2026 +1
Still just a report for now if true, it would be a significant shift. Until confirmed, it’s best to treat it as ongoing speculation around Donald Trump’s team.
