He doesn't care about any laws. Clearly, they "don't apply to him".

A serious question—if such firings (without the required 30 day notice and documented justification) are not permitted by law, is it even accurate to say that Trump fired these inspectors general? How does the legal system respond to this attempt at illegal assertion of presidential power?

Cool. Then, MSNBC with your enormous platform, start calling for pushback. We need help and directives.

Trunt flips the bird at Federal law… and gets away with it

Our congress and judges must act now to stop him from destroying our country!

Maybe the eggs will get cheaper? Isn’t that what he ran on?

Trump is a lethal weapon who is determined to destroy the democracy our forefathers created for a free & democratic country, where we are all equal under the rights of the constitution.

He needs them out so no one is looking at what he’s doing.

Seems trump's modus operandi is to reverse or remove anything that Biden and Obama did or were in support of. Little baby trump really hates Biden and Obama.

Unfortunately SCOTUS made him immune from anything while in office

You wanna run that "potentially" past your legal desk and get back to us with an updated headline?

Who is going to hold him accountable

Trump is back to his Friday night/middle of the night firings. Less media attention!

POTENTIALLY? DJT gets his most EXCITEMENT out of BREAKING as many LAWS as he can while he lives literally RENT FREE in our WHITE HOUSE that used to be for DECENT SMART & LOYAL AMERICAN PRESIDENTS!

Is this impeachable?

Take that mfer to court.

Oh no!!!! It's against the law!!!! We'll we'll get the justice department on it and do some investigations. File charges, go to court, take it all the way to the Supreme Court, where they can invoke the "He can do what he wants" doctrine. It'll only take 3 years LAWS DON'T MATTER TO FACIST REGIMES!

The first mistake is to think that the the sexual predator cares if there's a law being broken. Why would he start now?

“Potentially”? This is no time to pussyfoot.

Please sue him- NOW!

When will the mutiny begin?

It already has 😢

Fascism

The night of the long knives 🔪

You could have left the "potentially" qualifier out of this sentence and show some intestinal fortitude. Just tell the truth in the most blatant way possible. This is why people do not trust MSM.

There’s no potential law only law. He blatantly broke the law.

The Supreme Court gave him permission

And is anyone surprised? Trump violates whatever he wants to and the American people allow him to continue to do so.

They need to stop it now, not complain about it. This is an obvious action of planning of covering up corruption.

"Federal Law" does not apply to Donald Trump.

But he's immune so who cares 🤷‍♀️ Thanks, SCOTUS

Why do you say “potentially”? The law is clear and this was in defiance of the law.

“Potentially?!” It’s CLEARLY in violation of federal law, are you serious?!

Potentially? Come on!

Potentially is doing heavy lifting here. It is in violation of law until the SCOTUS says it ain’t!

How do we RESIST! Impeach this idiot!

😠

Then, challenge him.

This is illegal. Hopefully someone will call him on this.

“Potentially”? Nope. CLEARLY in violation. Stop soft-peddling your lede.

He has borrowed the shock and awe technique. He wants to disorient. He has no regard for citizens. Only his greed and power goals. Sad

Potentially??

According to the Supreme Court, it's ok for the president to break laws as long it's a part of his official duties. Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies because those acts were a part of his role as a candidate. We'll need the courts again to place these firings as lawful or unlawful.

MSNBC doesn't have a large enough budget to hire legal consultants that could tell them definitively whether or not this was in violation of federal law?

More like they don’t have the spine to call a spade a spade

No, not “potentially,” DEFINITELY in violation of federal law. Grow a spine MSNBC!!

"When the President does it, that means it is not illegal."

He’s a dictator in the making. I said it when he was in the first time and now look! It’s a sad time in America.

Back when he started attacking the press, I told a Texan colleague that it was what dictators do - based on my experience with Mugabe. He told me that the US has all these checks and balances, so dictators weren't possible. Hmm.

This needs a DISLIKE button 😭

As if he cares about the law!

It’s not even a week and he’s causing such chaos and dysfunction! His loyal unqualified lapdogs will be running the country! China and Russia know his Pentagon choice will weaken our military and our countries security. Trump is putting a target on our back….

So let me get this straight... An Inspector General is independent to find waste, fraud and corruption in government. tRump fired 12 of them because of "changing priorities...''? Elect a convicted felon, expect crimes. And this is just week 1, folks.

This is all about Project 2025 and the rich tax cuts

Once again we see the presidency is all about his problems

the laws don't apply to Trump, the supreme court made him king 😡
