It seems hirings and firings are not just a Trump thing...although with less frequency one cannot refute.

Some were fired before they were even hired under President Obama, need to go to the section in which the below quote is from.

Quote:
Samantha Power

Samantha Power was a member of President Obama's 2008 presidential campaign but resigned under pressure in March 2008 after referring to Hillary Clinton as a "monster."

Power, who served as a foreign policy adviser to then-candidate Obama, said she made the comments in a "very weak moment" and "of course I regret them, I can't even believe they came out of my mouth."
I don't think you had a weak moment Samantha, you spoke the truth!

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

I think with Trump it's the sheer amount of firings/people leaving in just 6 months.

Spot on. How many people have "resigned" or been fired so far? Five? I've lost track!

Not very stable or erm...strong. Basically a bit of a shambles.

I think the point I am trying to make is that Trump criticised someone last year for doing what he did this week.

Trump has no excuse for Scaramucci's behaviour - he hired him himself, changed the job's terms of reference so Scaramucci reported directly to the President, not the Chief of Staff, he knew what sort of person Scaramucci was (someone from the NY boroughs who had "made good", just like himself), so must be held responsible for hiring someone who behaved so badly.

That job, in this administration, appears to be a poisoned chalice - from the Washington Post
Quote:
No other post in the White House has experienced as much upheaval as the communications director job. It was first given to Jason Miller, a Trump campaign aide who stepped down from the post during the transition before even being sworn in. It was then given to Republican operative Michael Dubke, who resigned in May. In the intervening weeks, Spicer had taken on those responsibilities in addition to his role as press secretary until Scaramucci was named to the position on July 21 over his objections.

President Donald Trump personally dictated the statement his son gave on his talks with a Russian lawyer during the election campaign, US media report.
I'm quite impressed the Donald can dictate something that is longer than a tweet. Well done him !

Didn't he criticise Obama for playing golf once then proceeded to take many more golfing breaks himself? I guess though that this just makes him a hypocritical politician and there are many others like him.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

There appears to be some contradiction here...

In June, Trump's personal lawyer stated (regarding Trump Jr.'s press statement about meeting with the Russians)
Quote:
On June 12, Sekulow told George Stephanopoulos that the Times' June 11 report was "incorrect," and "the president didn't sign off on anything. He was coming back from the G-20, the statement that was released on Saturday was released by Donald Trump Jr. and, I'm sure, in consultation with his lawyers. The president wasn't involved in that." He then told CNN's New Day that "I wasn't involved in the statement drafting at all, nor was the president." On June 16, he told Chuck Todd on NBC's Meet the Press: "I do want to be clear that the president was not involved in the drafting of the statement and did not issue the statement. It came from Donald Trump Jr."
http://theweek.com/speedreads/715715...eed-lawyer-now

Today, the Trump's official Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, stated at a White House Press Conference
Quote:
Asked about Trump’s involvement in writing the statement, Sanders said, “He certainly didn’t dictate, but you know, he — like I said, he weighed in, offered suggestion, like any father would do.”
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewir...-russia-lawyer

Both of these statements are from Trump's lawyer and Press Secretary, so cannot be dismissed as 'Fake News'.

If I was a Trump fan I would probably try and change the topic to Venezuela or Hillary Clinton now.
What you have highlighted is very damning of Trump.
