Donald Trump has now had more turnover in his Cabinet in the first two and a half years of his presidency than any of his five immediate predecessors did in their entire first terms.
According to data collected by the Brookings Institution, the resignation of Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta marks the ninth Cabinet member to leave the Trump Administration, one more than the previous high under President George H.W. Bush.
The others who have left: Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen as well as her predecessor, John Kelly, who left Homeland Security to become White House chief of staff and then left that job as well.
The list does not include Energy Secretary Rick Perry, who reportedly has plans to leave.

Another Presidential Record!!! The MOST cabinet departures in a very, very long time. A very long time. When President Trump ran for President he promised to Drain The Swamp. President Trump has ended more careers of Washington DC's grifters, and incompetents than any President in modern times...almost as fast as he is appointing them.
promise made, promise kept!!!
Somehow, somewhere, somebody's missing their sarcasm tag. :rolling:

Yes indeed, he is 'Draining the Swamp' in DC. for sure.
Yet far more astounding is his uncanny skill in finding every
buffoon, fraud, grifter, hustler, moron and schmuck in DC,
to nominate and appoint them.
It's beyond amazing!!!!!!!!!
Is there a cover charge to attend this circle-jerk? *****rollingeyes*****No. Sit next to me. happy77
Not until three weeks before the election. After the election, he proceeded to name the head of the swamp itself as his chief of staff.
No. Sit next to me. happy77
Yes, I never could understand his choice of Priebus, other than Trump owing him a favor; a roll call vote was flat out denied at the RNC convention.
I think that is the answer.
Making sausage is an ugly mess...but when it tastes so damn good...who cares.
My favorite kinds of sausage:
Dow 27,332
Unemployment 3.7%
GDP 3.1%
Obama Care Mandate...0.0%
And yes, Donald Trump made THAT sausage with his own hands.

Next time, win a few more primaries and caucuses for a change and don't accuse your opponents of dropping out when they aren't and a plethora of other instances, i.e. saying a candidate said something he didn't about the bible or G. Soros funding the campaign of a governor, Iowa, Wisconsin, Montana and Minnesota will only get one so far.
And by the way, the Kochs are Wisconsin, Walker and Ryan were Wisconsin. I'd not make that assumption, Priebus was the GOP chair or something. I won't bend history to my liking.
@TomSea
Tommy, there is enough to discuss in this thread without making it into another one of the endless Trump vs. Cruz battle fronts.
Ted Cruz has nothing to do with this article!!

Thank you for the reprimand, I assume that that also goes for this drive-by remark. Let's not forget, a lot of people thought the GOP-e would reject Trump's candidacy. These others bringing sour grapes and division need be looked at as well. Cruz was not mentioned but I say that's the intention. Disagree if one wants.
And Priebus was the GOP chairman. That might have something to do with all of this.
