America needs to hear 'You're fired!' again, President Trump

If the second Trump term turns out to be like “The Apprentice” without “You’re fired!,” its ratings are going to resemble President Joe Biden’s.
That means needlessly big losses in the coming midterms, and an end to — or even reversal of — President Trump’s agenda.
Biden never accepted blame for the Afghanistan debacle, for economic malaise and record inflation or any of his other disasters, such as the endless rounds of illegal migrants waved into the country.
But he also never even implicitly admitted his team had failed by axing an obvious author of those debacles — none of his generals, nor Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas nor Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
Nor did he change the course that produced those debacles.
Trump doesn’t have to admit error, either, but if he wants to keep winning after something’s clearly gone wrong in the public’s eye, he should send the message that his administration will do better.
Decisive action will calm the nerves of independent voters; anything else comes off as inauthentic and shady, raising fears that Team Trump will slide back into the same blundering approach.
