Guess he needs ANOTHER DISTRACTION for his disastrous weekend.
Beware WH and cabinet staff. This will happen to everyone of you by the time he's finished with you. Who would want to take the blame of caging children and separating them from their parents? What a disaster that was caused by this administration!!

1. Since Trump can't manage to fire anyone and Kelly is the hatchet man, it's entirely possible

Since Trump can't manage to fire anyone and Kelly is the hatchet man, it's entirely possible Nielsen will outlast Trump.

When the alleged boss is a coward and his number 2 refuses to be the bearer of bad news, stalemate. What's Trump going to do, actually act like a manager for once?

Nielsen is an incompetent and utterly without a moral compass, but in a knock-down drag-out, with Kelly in her corner, I'd lay odds on Nielsen over Trump.
