it s been a turbulent week. more high profile departures and firings. david shulkin was fired by tweet. this was somewhat of a surprise. not the way i do it. did you submit a letter of resignati resignation. did you resign? i did not resign. trump s pick ronny jackson. you have questions because of lack of experience. somebody needs to take that place and turn it upside downs. this comes as the president made a series of surprising moves. the president announced his intention to pull troops out of syria soon. the u.s. expelled 60 top russian diplomats. the worst relations between russia and the u.s. since the cold war. new cold war. this is the 80s to me all over. a taste of what they were talking about on the easter
