More Chaos: Treasury Secretary May Be Next in Cabinet Fired By Trump

From the article:

As the stock markets have dropped precipitously in recent weeks, Trump has been looking for scapegoats. He would like to fire the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, but he can’t do that just because he is not happy with the Fed’s moves to increase interest rates.

All of Trump's many problems have been caused by his own well known inability to make good decisions, and by his need to cover up his many criminal acts.

First of all, anybody who associates with him is as scummy and mob cartel as he is, so there is no reason to think anything good is possible. It's not as though "success" will devolve on the country from any of his actions.
