Perhaps one word that would define the entire presidential election campaign, the victory of Donald Trump, and the transition period is extraordinary. Yet, somehow, label doesn’t nearly seem strong enough. We’ve witnessed things never before seen when our nation went about selecting a president. It would not be going to far to say that this election changed things forever.
Mr. Trump is only days away from assuming the office of president. The preparations for a presidential inauguration begin months before the actual event, and involve thousands of law enforcement and military personnel. The cost runs into the tens of millions of dollars. The security is extreme. In a sense, the whole world is watching.
For a terrorist, staging a successful attack at a presidential inauguration would be a penultimate accomplishment, partly for the symbolism it would imply and partly because of the people who will be in attendance. Also present will be extremist protestors who are willing to destroy property to show their displeasure with the man being sworn in. Hence, security is a huge project. So it’s with more than just a raised eyebrow that we greet news of an oddity regarding the security at the inauguration. More on page two.
He’s not stepping down! He was actually ordered by Obama and his sinister liberal administration that his services no longer required, affective at noon on Trump’s Inauguration Day. Is it a coincidence? Hardly…
Not even…his term of service ends officially on January 20th st noon, just as President Obama’s does. He was a political appointee, same as the ambassadors and as such they must submit their resignation. Trump accepted it this time, the guy is over 65 years old, and has served since he was appointed by President Bush, 40+ years. He should retire. The next in line is well equipped to carry out these duties or he didn’t train his people very well!
He chose to do so and the ran to the D.C. Compost to politicize it. More liberal politician than political appointee!
what made Obama do this what is he fixing to do?
OK. Bye-bye. Who cares.
Kathy add me so that we can be friends
Obama fired him to attempt to derail the transition.
Who cares?
Is it standard protocol with a new administration to move on?
Asshole
