Donald's problem is finding enough slimeballs to replace them, he's already scrapped nearly through the bottom of the slime barrel.

Why everyone who works for Donald Trump should be *very* nervous right now
The list of things that make President Donald Trump the maddest goes something like this:

(CNN)The list of things that make President Donald Trump the maddest goes something like this:
1) Small crowds at his rallies
2) Small crowds at his rallies
3) Negative press coverage of small crowds at his rallies
Which is why,
after his Tulsa, Oklahoma, rally on Saturday, every single person in the White House and on his 2020 campaign staff needs to be on high alert. Because everyone's job is on the line.
As CNN's
Kaitlan Collins reported Monday about the President's state of mind:
"Despite claims he's not angry, multiple people said Trump's been seething since he got back from Tulsa. It's raised questions about his campaign manager's future, but others said his job isn't only one in jeopardy. Anyone, including WH aides, could be fired depending on coverage."
Which checks out. Because with an
estimated 6,200 people at an arena that had a capacity of more than 19,000 -- and in the wake of Trump tweeting that there had been 1 million RSVPs -- it was clear from Trump's body language when he landed back at the White House from Oklahoma early Sunday morning that he was dejected, disappointed and angry.
I mean,
check it out yourself. Does this look like a triumphant leader?
And we also know that Trump doesn't blame himself for much of anything.
After suggesting that injecting or ingesting disinfectants would fight the coronavirus, Trump was asked in April whether he took any responsibility for a spike in people doing just that. "No, I don't,"
he responded.
A month before, Trump was asked whether the lag in coronavirus testing was in any way, shape or form his fault. "No, I don't take responsibility at all,"
he said.
In that same press conference, Trump was also asked whether he took responsibility for disbanding the office of pandemics. The President called it "a nasty question" (it wasn't) before adding: "When you say 'me,' I didn't do it. We have a group of people [in the administration]. But I could perhaps ask Tony about that, because I don't know anything about it." ("Tony" is Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.)
Time and time again during his presidency, Trump has made clear he wants all the credit when anything even tangentially tied to his administration goes right and none of the blame when things go wrong. (
Call it the Michael Scott theory of management.) He will always find someone to blame when something goes wrong. But that person will never be him.
