Well, we all knew it was going to happen. If the president can't trust you and you think you know more than he does and think you can set foreign policy instead of the president, think again.

Do you think the president just might have more insight and more information about the situation than a Lt Colonel and an ambassador?

Nope

Sort of depends on the Other Than American sources of his information, and who benefits from it. Everybody has his own survival imperatives.

I thought the spin was Trump is downsizing their positions lol

I'll fire your brother, I'll fire your wife, I'll fire your grandma, and I'll sneak in your house and flush your goldfish down the toilet.

As opposed to the Clintons, who will just suicide ya.

But at least yer goldfish is safe...

A lot of people are critical about the firings/dismissal. However, if a person can't be trusted and has proven themselves to be untrustworthy they, should be terminated because with all the baggage, they aren't going to put their all in their job.

I'm still trying to figure out why Trump didn't fire ALL of them when he took office, like Obama did?

Actually, as far as the ambassador and the Vindmans, I suspect that they are only being re-assigned, not fired. From what Dana Perino was saying yesterday, both of the Vindmans were "detailed" to the White House. That means they have a job position elsewhere, but that the WH detail was temporary anyway.

As for the Daily Beast, I suspect that their writing was pretty biased.
