Donald Trump is considering removing Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for the District of Columbia, over a Justice Department conclusion that problems with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool stemmed from a flawed renovation rather than vandalism, two people familiar with his thinking told CNN.

The president is “furious” with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend. They added that based on his criticisms of her, they find it “highly likely she’s removed from her job.”

The other source, a senior administration official, said Trump was “blindsided” by Pirro’s court filing: “The president did not know beforehand that she was going to do that.”

  3. Reality fails to comform to said bullshit
  4. Trump throws a tantrum and blames the toady

    So he's going to remove Boxwine Jeanine because of hiring his own pool guy to do a rush job and then he drove his car on it?

    She's a terrible person and a fucking moron besides, but...how is this her fault?

    She has the "wrong" genitals. Only the women are seeing their careers burned alive. He's a narcissistic, misogynistic, cowardly bully. And a blithering dumbass.

    “I was disappointed in Jeanine Pirro. Really disappointed in Jeanine Pirro,” he added. “She folded like an umbrella.”

    This from someone who doesn't know how to fold an umbrella.

    Not doubting the veracity of this, but can we just hold on for a moment to realize how absolutely ludicrous it is that this is sufficient expertise nowadays to be quoted by a news outlet?

    It was a loyalty test (like everything else) and she failed.

    Working for him in any capacity appears to be a prolonged loyalty test.

    Working? Narcissistic tendencies don't limit themselves like that. The specimen experiences reality assuming everything its eyes see should be loyally beholden to it: Person, Woman, Man, Camera, or TV.
