To be fair, the caption writers on The Onion probably didn't realise that in 2018, that using one hand to drink might be a difficult task for the POTUS

I AGREE

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if he tried to fire Pence. I doubt he actually knows he can't.

John Adams, who was the first VIce President with Washington as President describe the office as "The most insignificant office every devised by the mind of man",

There is actually one way that Trump can relieve Pence from the post of VP. :D

Adams managed to rise above it, though.

You might call it OJT.

It should be kept in mind that when John Adams was Vice President the position was filled by whomever finished second in the balloting. Imagine Hillary Clinton as the Vice President today.

Genius, we wouldn't have Betsy as secretary of education.

Yeah, those ties in the Senate would break against the administration, not for it.

I can think of at least three or four ways.

Resign (e.g. Richard M. Nixon)

Die (e.g. William H. Harrison)

Impeachment in the House followed by conviction in the Senate (unprecedented)

Incapacity (NEW)

ETA: Upon reconsideration, that last one doesn't technically promote the VP to President.

When I wrote "how Trump can relieve", I only considered ways due to conscious actions by Trump. I forgot about "suicide", as a subset of "die" per your list. :) Anyways, give the man another cheeseburger!

I am betting that after today's Superme Court Deciision on immigration, Trump is asking if there is a way he can fire Goresuch.

That's what I love about SCOTUS. These guys can pretty much let their conscience be their guide and they owe the President that nominated them nothing. So, you get these cases that break the other way. And while the last 4 Chief Justices were appointed by Republicans Warren appointed by Eisenhower voted very often with the more liberal side of the court and Roberts upheld Obamacare with his vote.

Nikki Halley. “With all due respect, I don’t get confused.”

Had to Google that. It's hard to keep up when your boss has the attention span of a two-year-old.

She's never been a great fit for this admin anyhow, being brown, female, and an anchor baby.

He is about the right color.

good point, well made

And the same facial expression.

I've not really followed her, but I had some respect for her until she took this job. That line earned her back a bit of that respect.

You forgot she's intelligent.

Too much time spent presidenting to sack anyone?

It's only Thursday. Firing Friday is tomorrow.

This

Not exactly firing, but Trump pushed his VA nominee under the bus with his "suggestion" that Jackson should withdraw.

Is there some sort of competition over who can be the most corrupt?

Ronny Jackson should NEVER EVER been nominated for that job. He was grotesquely unqualified. A reasonable vetting would have made that clear. But Trump 'liked' Jackson and that was enough for Trump. Now Jackson has been needlessly run over by Congress and the press. He should have told Trump 'no', but ego and ambition probably got the best of him.

I have to wonder who the next unqualified stiff Trump rolls out?

Jackson, as WH physician, was willing to perpetuate the ridiculous lie that Trump is 6'3" and weighs only 230 pounds. I'm 5'8", 220 lb, and don't look as fat as Trump.

Maybe the fat cells in his body have some dort of self-awareness and spread out, trying to keep as far away from the core of Trump as possible, only being prevented from further expansion by his skin?

Yeah that side-show freak physique of his is more than 230 pounds.

I'm 6'4" and don't look at all overweight and he's somehow within 10lbs of my weight? I find that hard to believe.

Then again, he could just literally be full of hot air.

FTFY.

And it's getting worse. As Trump becomes more and more imbattled, more and more will he make appontments based sheerly on personal loyalty.
There is a long history of authoritarians doing this. It has never ended well for them.

Jackson has withdrawn.

Those evil Obstructionist Dems destroying the life and reputation of one of America's greatest heroes - and completely destroying the opportunity for him to do great work at the VA in the process. Why do they hate the military so much - SAD !

Saving people a click:

Pruitt now admits in Congressional testimony that he gave his chief of staff authority to give large raises for two of his deputies, over the objections of the White House.

He told Fox News earlier this month he "did not" approve the raises and didn't know who did it.

Sadly, at this point I don't think that's enough to get him out. I guess we'll see.

Even as President Trump repeatedly expressed his support for Pruitt in public, top White House aides began to escalate their disapproval, suggesting the administrator has mischaracterized his role in boosting the salaries of two employees. On Thursday evening, three administration officials confirmed that Pruitt endorsed the idea last month of giving substantial raises to senior counsel Sarah Greenwalt and scheduling and advance director Millan Hupp — although he did not carry out the pay raise himself.

And Pruitt’s decision to ignore White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly’s warnings to be more cautious about giving public interviews only complicated his standing with many of Trump’s key aides.

Well, if that sort of endorsement isn't a big black curse on your promotional prospects then I don't know what is.
