Donald Trump flip flops, asks DC National Guard chief to stay past inauguration, but chief refuses

[womanofthehills]

this is from Palmer Report which is not a news report but Bill Palmer has been right on on lots of stories. If anyone has anything from official news, post it please. TMP posted that the head of the Washington DC would be fired the minute Trump was President. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/dc-national-guard-chief-removed-inauguration Trump Orders DC National Guard Chief To Leave In Middle Of Inaugural Ceremony

In a bizarre move, Donald Trump has demanded that the commanding officer of the Washington, D.C. National Guard resign from his post in the middle of the Inauguration ceremony, even though the general will be in the middle of helping oversee the event's security, the Washington Post reported on Friday

Palmer reports Major General will leave the moment Trump is president:

One day after the Donald Trump administration announced that the head of the Washington DC National Guard would be fired in the middle of the inauguration at the precise moment Trump was sworn in, prompting a firestorm of controversy and questions about what might truly be behind the move, the story has taken yet another turn. In the wake of the backlash, the Trump team has now asked Major General Errol R. Schwartz to stay on for an extra few days after the inauguration. But even that has now backfired.

Schwartz is now refusing Donald Trump’s request to stay on, and has decided to go ahead and vacate his post the minute Trump is sworn in, as he’d originally been told he would have to. The Major General’s reasoning? According to the Washington Post, he had already finished “packing up his office and notified his staff” of his impending exit.

9. Snopes is fast and accurate. They cite WUSA9.

Sources say that with Schwartz successor already named, the General declined to extend his command those extra days, instead stepping down at 12:01 p.m. exactly on January 20th.

“He wants to ensure that there is a secure transition between two commanding generals,” DC National Guard Spokesman Major Byron B. Coward told WUSA9. “There’s not going to be any disconnect or anything of that nature.”

12. Major Schwartz not happy - He will not be able to welcome troops back.

“My troops will be on the street,” said Schwartz, who turned 65 in October. “I’ll see them off, but I won’t be able to welcome them back to the armory.” He said he would “never plan to leave a mission in the middle of a battle.”

Unlike in the states, where the governor appoints the National Guard commander, in the District that duty falls to the president.

13. Trump's ego is fucking up our country.

We're going to be a mess under this clown.
He thinks he knows what he's doing, but people who know better—and are just as evil as him—are going to step all over him and really fuck us up.

[WhiteTara]

15. Good for the Commander

I wouldn't stay either. It might create chaos for the Women's March, but that's not on him.

18. Schwartz began his military career in 1976

Schwartz began his military career in 1976, when Trump & his dad were having "c" for "colored" put on housing apps to keep AAs like him out.
