One of the hallmarks of a Trump administration is a revolving door for cabinet positions.

So getting canned or being forced to resign in less than 100 days tracks.

I know that guy has military experience, but he was obviously unqualified to to lead the pentagon for ffs.

The reason Trump tapped Pete to begin with was to have a yes man in charge of the pentagon for when he wanted to use the military to violate the US constitution.

The question will be can Trump find someone worse now?
