"The 9 people Donald Trump might fire next" - CNN

[procon]

...
The prevailing question now is: Who's next?

Tweeted New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman: "People close to the White House say they expect more major personnel shifts this week. An effort to rip off the bandaid fast on a number of fronts is likely."

There's any number of options, given that Trump has actively feuded with lots of his Cabinet since hand-picking them just over a year ago. Below, I've ranked a variety of embattled Trump Cabinet members based on their likelihood to be given the Rex treatment -- aka fired via Twitter.

1. They forgot Mueller. n/t

4. Technically Trump can't fire him directly, but he can pressure those who can. nt

11. If he fires Sessions, he'll hire someone who can...

[shraby]

2. "He alone can fix it" Just like all diktators.

3. The White House chef.

He doesn't make a quarter pounder as good as they do at the Golden Arches.

6. Trump sticks his head out the window "Hey You! You're fired!"

Position opens on the White House grounds crew

5. The problem is the Senate is now 51-49

with Cochran resigning in a few weeks and McCain iffy and with a year of Trump under the nation's belt, I seriously doubt any crazy picks like DeVos or Pruitt get through the confirmation process.

8. Would Mississippi's Governor

be able to immediately appoint a replacement for Cochran?

[DeminPennswoods]

9. They have a special election scheduled, so doubtful

7. Would Senate Republicans stand up to Trump

if he fired Sessions? Sessions was a long time colleague of theirs in the Senate and they've supposedly kept the senate in session so he can't be replaced via a recess appointment.

10. Also, Consider This

They lost a Senate seat because Session's vacated that seat to take the AG job. THEY LOST A SENATE SEAT and then he gets fired.

It's beyond just a former colleague. They lost leverage over it.

[NewJeffCT]

12. yes, Sessions won in 2014

running unopposed and with 97% of the vote.

13. Ha! Made me laugh.
