Trump fires agency head who vouched for election security

Trump's assault on the truth, democracy, and the safety of Americans continues. But it'll all be over soon.

Fired for telling the truth.  Something Trump most definitely does not like hearing.  If I was him, I'd view being sacked by Trump foe telling the truth as a badge of honour and a prominent feature of any future CV.

Appointed by Trump. Has consistently smacked down ridiculous conspiracy theories. Has truthfully said and is backed up by other agencies that this was the most secure election in modern history.

Gets fired by Trump on Twitter.

Is Trump just fuming? Is this a desperate attempt to launch a coup?

It doesn’t really matter. Krebs is a hero. Trump is an idiot and a wannabe thug. Biden will be president. And there really should be a reckoning for all involved in the “rigged election “ hoax.

By all accounts, very highly respected by both Democrats and Republicans, with high praise for the work he did protecting Americans.

But, he won't lie for Trump, so out he goes. Another good man lost (unless Biden hires him back).

And Trump fans, yes, we know, he served at the pleasure of the President. That's the comment always made when the obvious question is about the appropriateness of the action, not the legality of it.

Fired by a loser. Wear it like a badge of honour.

Many still working for the current president are already job hunting.

Trump's fanatical anger is rising, as it becomes more and more obvious, even to him, that his presidency is a failure and he is done. Firing someone pacifies his anger, briefly, but like a petulant child, he'll find the need to vent his anger, very soon, again.

The last couple of months of Trump is going to get very ugly, and we can only hope, he settles down, with a bit of calm. The hope is, he doesn't throw a juvenile tantrum that further negatively affects American democracy and safety.

A full blown hissy fit. Sad to see a man blow a gasket like this. Hillary didn't blow a gasket like this when she lost and admitted it on the very next day, but Trump has really lost it and is just flyin' all over the place on conspiracy theories. Let's hope this nutty president doesn't start WWIII between now and the time Biden takes over control.

He is the president. Fraud has to be proven, not by a biased minister

Krebs showed integrity so will easily find another job.

Others in the trump team will not be so lucky, even Fox wants nothing to do with them !!!!

He is the president. Fraud has to be proven, not by a biased minister

Correction: He [Biden] is the president-elect. Fraud has to be proven, not copy-pasted on Twitter.

The unwarranted firing of Mr Krebs will be recorded as one more nail in the coffin of Trump's lamentable legacy. Evidently, Trump in his desperation is now starting to throw his toys out of the pram, even threatening war because he can no longer have his own way. If his deranged conduct continues, he'll end up chewing the carpet in his WH bunker.
