Is it a time to cut dramatically . The markets seem to think we could be sputtering. This market has done okay this month. This is the last trading day of the month of april. Lets just take a peek where we ended. The president saw the economy and the overall markets gain about a percentage point from the beginning of this month to the end of the month. I also want you to look at how his 100day performance goes into tomorrow against his predecessors. This president the 1. 3 advance this month and a similar ga in gain in the southbound and the nasdaq. This is looking at the first 100 days.

We dont know if its because of the chain of command and kelly wanted to make a change there or if it had something to do with the interview that scaramucci gave last week, the profanitylaced interview that he gave with the correspondent from that one publication. Clearly john kelly likes to run a tight ship. If hes got somebody out there who he believes is a bit of a loose cannon, not to say he was, he probably will want to reign that person in. Kelly comes from a live of Combatant Commanders that includes james mattis and joe dunford. I remember in the iraq war of 2003, dunford relieved the commander of the unit that was traveling with right in the heat of battle.
