Everyone is fleeing Donald Trump’s sinking White House at once
Donald Trump’s White House Communications Director Bill Shine abruptly resigned today. He’s taking a new job with Trump’s phantom “2020 reelection campaign” which only really exists as a fundraising embezzlement front; the bottom line is that Shine is out. The timing speaks volumes – and he’s not the only key Trump person to jump ship today.
Donald Trump’s FEMA Director Brock Long is exiting the building today, after resigning amid scandal. We’re expecting another shoe to drop on this front, because Long’s one known scandal merely involves misuse of a government car, and pales in comparison to some of the corruption scandals that Trump’s other people haven’t resigned for. There is also another big exit today.
Donald Trump’s Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson, who was leading the charge on Trump’s imaginary Space Force, is also abruptly resigning. People come and go in an administration, but when you add Wilson’s departure to Shine’s departure and Long’s departure, particularly within the context of other recent departures and embarrassing longstanding vacancies, it’s clear Trump is having trouble finding and keeping people who want to work for his sinking ship.
It’s the Bill Shine resignation that stands out the most today. He’s a former Fox News executive who was infamously involved in trying to cover up Bill O’Reilly’s sexual harassment scandal. Just days after the New Yorker expose on the corrupt relationship between Fox News and Donald Trump, suddenly Shine is bailing. This doesn’t feel like a coincidence. It makes us wonder if there’s another shoe to drop on this front as well.
