Trump Fires Them Out The Cannon!

The orange covers his red face.
Donald J. Trump decided to fire Gordon Sondland, Michael Atkinson, Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, his brother, Yevgeny out the cannon. He also has Mick Mulvaney in his sights.

Fresh off his acquittal from the impeachment trial, Trump has decided to go war against those he perceived as threats to his god awful presidency.

It was the "Friday Night Massacre" says the junk food media.

Trump had Vindman escorted out of the White House. Vindman was removed from the National Security Post.

Sondland who was the ambassador to the European Union was fired out the cannon as well.

Last year, Sondland and Vindman testified under oath before Congress, proving the whistleblower's claims that Trump engaged in disturbing behavior by extorting Ukraine. The General Accounting Office substantiated that claim, stating that Trump's withholding of hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid was illegal.

Some called the retaliation was "criminal."
The White House decided to fire officials who went under oath to testify that Trump did wrong.
Many believe that Trump is acting like Richard Nixon. He's building up a political enemies list and is threatening government officials who dare to call him out on his antics.

Some compare this to the Saturday Night Massacre. A term colloquial to Nixon/

On October 20, 1973, Richard Nixon ordered Elliot Richardson to fire Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox. Richardson resigned in protest. Nixon told William Ruckelshaus to fire him. He resigned in protest as well. Nixon told Robert Bork to handle the matter. Bork reluctantly did so and sealed his future as the guy who couldn't become an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

Trump's amps up attacks on the Democrats and calls for the U.S. Justice Department to investigate Hunter Biden.

He even got upset over a photograph of him wearing makeup that gives him an orange glow.

Trump feels like he's emboldened to take on the eventual Democratic nominee. He feels like he can get away with anything.
