I wish we were seeing as many senior-level resignations from the various Federal agencies too, but as I pointed out before Trump even took office, a high rate of turnover is a very good thing in the Trump administration:
Department of Defense chief of staff Kevin Sweeney has become the third senior Pentagon official to resign from his post since President Trump announced his intentions to withdraw US troops from Syria. In a brief statement posted on Saturday evening, Sweeney said: ‘I’ve decided the time is right to return to the private sector. It has been an honor to serve again alongside the men and women of the Department of Defense’.
He steps down from the position just two years after accepting the role…. In last night’s statement, Sweeney made no mention of the President but a source told CNN the White House actually forced the retired Navy Admiral out of the door.
Given the fact that the media isn’t even hinting at any possibility that Trump will back down on the shut down, it feels as if we might actually see some positive action later this month.
Build the Wall. Drain the Swamp. Repeat as needed.
