> For someone who took the administration at their word

Anyone who did that should really not be in charge of anything more important than a popsicle stand, even that might be too much. Come on, how ignorant do you have to be to think you could trust this admin?

> Honestly the best thing he could do for his own personal brand is to come out against DOGE, however lightly.

Yep, and he couldn't even manage to do that, even in passing. I won't be using them but all the semi-slurs (like "beta" but worse) that the right likes to hurl at people seem to actually fit this person. To be so passive about losing a job for a non-reason, especially when they styled themselves as the second coming of jesus to come and clear away all the government waste, is mind-bending.
