Donald Trump, then a presidential candidate, gestures and declares “You’re fired!” at a rally in Manchester, N.H., on June 17, 2015. (Dominick Reuter/Reuters)After former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe was fired Friday, the chain of command was very clearly articulated by defenders of President Trump. Especially when you consider that Trump appears not to have directly fired anybody since he has been president. Trump firing people is a central part of why he’s president. Kelly fired all of those people because he’s chief of staff, and that’s part of his job.
