Three days before her replacement was to take office. So yes, DT is being a petty tyrant by firing her. She did her job. She did it well. And he could have let it sit until the weekend, but our Chief Twitterer was unable to abstain from a childish tantrum. In a REAL Presidential administration, the order would have been passed by the heads of the different offices to get their feedback and help them plan for implementation and execution of the order. Trump (cough, cough BANNON) ignored that process, went around the people he knew would nix the order, and just issued it anyway. ... to highly predictable results. DT fires her for not obeying his whim ...
Did you mean to quote: > I do not see that he had any alternative to immediately firing her. Of course he did but that would be inconsistent with his persona of being knee-jerk impulsive, petty and vindictive. Despite the fact that came at the cost of giving her a badge of honor.
