He is definitely trying to get rid of Sessions and Priebus.
What does all that accomplish though? Is it just trying to show everyone just how big and strong Trump is? So far, no one is budging with regard to his bullying tactics.
How long is he going to be allowed to do this before everyone turns on him?

In a way, it's a decent strategy if not for the fact it's completely random. Ostracize congressional GOP leaders from Trump, making GOP Congressmen the middle ground between nutty left wingers and child Trump. You also create common ground between congressional Dems and Repubs, increasing the chance some will break ranks to work together.
This thought crossed my mind too, to get Dems to side with some GOPers. Only, I do think Sessions & Tillerson will resign by years out. Sure, if it's all a big conspiracy, it's pretty well thought out. I don't think it is tho, I just think it's a mess. We'll see.

Yea, no way do I think this was planned or orchestrated. It just may be a beneficial outcome.

Better to be lucky than good. Those are the leadership qualities of a good President.
What was the beneficial outcome?

What kind of a person makes decisions like this?
I'm not even against it but for fucks sake.....include the military in any decisions regarding the military.

I'm reading that the joint chiefs will not implement his decree until he specifies and communicates with the proper people about what exactly he meant.
Maybe Trump thinks tweeting is how you make law.
