    Who would fire him? Trumps entire administration are the most corrupt officials to ever take office. Insider trading is the least of their many criminal offenses. The entire lot should be thrown in prison!!

    “Under fire”? Man that sounds serious. What are they actually firing at him, though? Like how is he being penalized by being “under fire”? What does that mean?

      It doesn’t mean anything. These headlines might as well read, “quell your rage, educated masses: the bad people are finally getting the negative attention they deserve, so put down your pitchforks…”

      It’s a slow drip of hope that consequences are just around the corner. It keeps uprisings at bay. Until decades later people realize, “wait a minute… how’s this guy running for President? Wasn’t he ‘under fire’ for some shit not long ago?”

    ‘Fire this idiot’

    Followed immediately by “arrest this criminal”.

      I’m always so angry when this gets brought up. He loved that fucking peanut farm and he gave it up! That’s how much he cared about the American people. We didn’t deserve him.

      That requires more energy than shooting him out of the solar system.
      I’m all for energy efficiency!
      Nice side effect: he has more time to contemplate the reason behind his long journey.
