Watchdogs to Lapdogs

Trump must have been mad at COVID-19 for getting all the attention. So he fired another IG; problem solved.
And yet, do we need IGs to tell us how incompetent and corrupt the Trump administration is? Whistleblowers can go directly to the media. Last Sunday Dr. Rick Bright was interviewed on 60 Minutes.
So do you think that Dr. Bright's revelations will make any difference?

  1. Trump has the mental outlook of a 3-year old. The only important things are those with short-term consequences to himself.

  2. If experience is any guide, we can expect that these firings will have little or no negative effect on Trump’s base. He’s already introduced another distraction and in just 24 hours everyone is chasing his claim about taking hydroxychloroquines. Indeed, he may even get a boost, and as long as that is the case, the rest of the Republican Party is unlikely to grow a backbone.
