WNU Editor: I love seeing how the media narrative is being spun each day. This weekend it was President Trump firing Robert Mueller by the end of this week. This afternoon it is U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson resigning in January. Later this week it will be Attorney General Sessions. During the Christmas holidays it will be back to Robert Mueller.

Wnu...to be fair, this administration has "lost" a lot of it's staff ...maybe even record breaking amount. .so any speculation is fair game and actually needed, given the crisis with north Korea, and soon China. The amateur times of the WH need to come to an end
