Title: Trump weighs ousting Commerce Secretary Ross
Post by: edpc on July 15, 2019, 12:14:31 pm
July 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has told
aides and allies that he is considering removing Commerce
Secretary Wilbur Ross after a Supreme Court defeat on adding a
citizenship question to the census, NBC News reported on Monday.

Trump retreated on Thursday from adding a contentious
question on citizenship to the 2020 census, but insisted he was
not giving up his fight to count how many non-citizens are in
the country and ordered government agencies to mine their
databases.

Good strategy.  If cabinet members stay for too long they'll figure out Trump is a moron.

After the first couple of meetings, I'd venture this might be a common reaction:

I guess Mr. Ross has been around too long.  Time to find an idiotic excuse to get rid of him.
