Sure, Trump broke the law by firing inspector generals without 30 days’ notice.

But here’s the bigger issue: inspector generals find fraud, waste, and abuse, saving taxpayers money. This wasn’t for the people—it was done to cut off checks and balances for Trump’s corrupt administration.

South Korea just put America to shame.

When their president overstepped his bounds and tried a ridiculous power grab,

their people would not bend and stayed on business until that asshat was impeached.
