Dear emotional people who live on TV and Twitter: Stop pressuring President Trump's sanest advisers to resign.
Seriously. Stop it. Now.
In the aftermath of last week's fiasco – which shouldn't be confused with any of the many and varied fiascos that have arisen in most of the weeks since Trump's inauguration – pundits have been trying to apply moral pressure to those serving the president to resign in protest.
Trump's reaction to what happened in Charlottesville, they argue, was an abomination and those who stick with Trump now will be forever tainted by association.
Former Obama Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, for instance, wrote an op-ed last Thursday for the Washington Post headlined: "Trump's CEOs resigned. His Cabinet should do the same." MSNBC host Nicole Wallace said of the White House staff the day after Trump's bizarre press conference last week, "If they don't resign en masse this morning, they are forever tainted by what he did yesterday." CNN published an opinion piece that contemplated: "How much longer can decent people serve in Trump's Cabinet?"
