      When people write these pieces, they’re just, effectively, helping Trump in his effort to get people to quit before Trump actually fires them (most likely in a tweet). That’s all. https://www.axios.com/david-shulkin-future-va-veterans-affairs-50b33fbc-9f54-450d-aac1-5f441739a461.html …pic.twitter.com/8RS7Pk4NwD

      That’s not to say they’re inaccurate, either. But it is a reality that should be hardwired into such stories.

      The president can fire Shulkin. The real question ~should~ be: If Trump cares about the VA being run well, and has lost confidence in Shulkin to do so, why ~hasn’t~ he fired him? Instead, we have this:pic.twitter.com/7BDe4cgUo3

      In other words, the actual story is that Trump likes humiliating people so much that he is allowing someone to run the Veterans Affairs Department who he doesn’t think is up to the job.

          Actually Trumps just to chickenshit to fire anyone and hopes they quit or someone else does it for him. Bonespurs of courage

          Rich is always a possibility! But now thinking back to when he wanted an NSC staffer who's Asian to handle Korea because she's Asian & that he reportedly wants to appoint his personal pilot to run the FAA, the reason could be most anything.

          Trump's fascination/obsession with humiliation is not just about other people.

          He’ll continue to try to pin Shulkin’s failure on the fact that he was an Obama era appointment, therefore the Vets aren’t getting what they need because Obama.
