Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhy didn't Trump fire Scarramucci himself??
Did he bring in General Kelly to do a job that he didn't have the courage to do himself?
It was only last week when we were told that the Trumpster agreed with Scarramucci? Surely, General Kelly did not fire Scarramucci without the approval of Donald J Trump?
From this perspective, it looks like Donald Trump did not have the backbone to fire his friend, Anthony Scaramucci, and he brought in a general to do the dirty work?

There is a king and he lives in a wonderful place and is very happy. He loves cheese and he has the best cheese makers in all the land, but the smell of the cheese reaches to some mice and the mice from all over the country come and start to eat all of the kings cheese. So the king calls his wise men to get rid of the mice, and so they bring in cats to chase the mice out. After the mice are all gone the Cats start to annoy the king and he is not happy, so he calls the wise men in again and the solution is dogs. The dogs chase out all the cats and then the king is still unhappy because he now has to live with all the dogs and he wants them gone. So the wise men are yet again called in and the solution this time is to bring in lions to chase the dogs out which they do, and they take over the kings palace. So the king calls the wise men again and they bring in some elephants to chase the lions away, but then they start to destroy the palace, so the wise men bring in the mice again to chase away the elephants.

He's really very weak once you get past the bluster and insults.
