There is so much churn in the tRump administration you’d think their main business was making butter. Oh wait, I forgot:
There are 65 non-cabinet senior advisors to the president (aka the “A” Team). 53 (82%) of those positions have flipped at least once. 20 (31%) of them have flipped at least twice. He’s had 8 different Deputy National Security Advisors.
9 of 15 (60%) Cabinet Officers have quit (7 under pressure and 1 in protest). Kelly was promoted from Homeland to Chief of Staff and has since resigned from that position. Carson, Barr, Pompeo, Mnuchin, Ross, Chao, DeVos, Esper and Wolf are all in need of replacement for their misdeeds in office.
By contrast, in their entire first terms Clinton, Bush and Obama had a combined total of 9 cabinet officers leave. tRump has, in 3 years, produced more cabinet instability than 12 years worth of all three of his immediate predecessors. tRump’s definition of best people is anyone who is willing to kiss tRump’s ass and keeps their crimes mostly hidden.
Through all the chaos and turnover, tRump has managed to accomplish something once thought impossible. He’s had his ass simultaneously kissed by the largest number of six-figure salaried toadies, lackeys, henchweasels and general suck-ups than anyone in US history.

This record has taught us several things:
- tRump is the all-time biggest ass in US history (tRump is reported to be happy that he is finally number one at something)
- The republican party appears to be trying to corner the entire world supply of ass-kissers.
- Make sure to wash your hands after touching a republican. You do know where their mouth has been.
- If you need to distract a republican during an event, debate or conversation, just show them a picture of tRump in his tennis shorts. Their obsessive need to pucker their lips, run over and plant a big one on the photo should give you time enough to get your thoughts in order.
- Guinness needs to seriously think about rejecting some record categories. tRump’s active pursuit of the record (no way it’s an accident) has had a negative impact on society.
