MSNBC Reports:
“ Even those who’ve come to expect Donald Trump’s authoritarian tactics were taken aback last week when the president signed two first-of-their-kind executive orders targeting a pair of officials from his first term who defied him.
There was barely a pretense in the executive orders that the targeted former officials — Christopher Krebs, who led the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and Miles Taylor, a former high-ranking Department of Homeland Security official — had done anything wrong. Indeed, the closer one looked at the stated rationales in support of the directives, the more ridiculous they appeared.
Nevertheless, the president directed Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Homeland Security to launch a “review” into Krebs, while simultaneously ordering DHS to investigate Taylor.
It took nearly a week, but a reporter — in this instance, The New York Times’ Jonathan Swan — finally asked the White House to make some kind of effort to defend Trump’s actions.”
How embarrassing it must be to work for such an idiotic narcissist who is constantly giving out illegal orders.
Too bad all those low IQ voters fell for his lies.
