“You’re Fired” – did Trump violate the law AGAIN?

President Donald Trump decided to play a little game of “You’re Fired” with more than a dozen inspectors general on Friday. This move raised eyebrows from both sides of the political aisle, as everyone wondered if Trump had bothered to check if his actions were actually legal.

The legal justification for these firings is about as clear as mud. Congress had the foresight to beef up protections for inspectors general in 2022, making it a requirement for the White House to give a 30-day heads up before kicking them to the curb. Oh, and they also have to provide a good reason for the boot.

Now, Trump does have the power to remove these watchdogs, but he’s supposed to follow the rules set by Congress. If he had bothered to follow the law, these inspectors general would have been out of a job by now. But hey, rules are made to be broken, right?

And let’s not forget that Trump is no stranger to legal trouble himself. So, it’s no surprise that he’s playing fast and loose with the rules. But hey, who needs ethics when you’ve going for a grab power, right?
