John Ratcliffe will be the perfect replacement, he believes Hillary Clintons people wrote the Mueller report. I forgot that Trump asked Coates to change his assessment of the Russian hacking back in 2017, surprised that he lasted this long. Ratcliffe didn't impress at the Mueller hearings to say the least, he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near intelligence information.
Ratcliffe put on a show and Trump loves a loyalist. It kind a looked obvious what he was doing in the Mueller hearing being over dramatic. He got the job. Coats stood up to Trump, and we cant have that can we. Politicizing the Intel department, shows you Trump knows nothing about his job.
Trump is crazy. Sane people who went into the Cabinet are more them happy to get out.
I've heard several stories about Trump wanting them to do '' crazy s**t '' to cover his azz, and they refuse and eventually just resign. Then like with Ratcliffe, fill the post with another yes man. So much for draining the swamp.
Now he's got sycophant flunkies all around him and two trust fund kids as his senior advisors. Nobody will tell him no when he goes with his worse instincts.
In the first 14 months of Trump's presidency, nine key cabinet positions turned over at least once, compared with three at the same point of the Clinton administration, two under President Barack Obama and one under President George W. Bush.
Anyone care to comment on why this keeps happening?

AKA, anyone who disagrees with Trump is out. He wants yes-men.
One of my work-mates is from Jersey. After the election I asked him what to expect from Mr. Trump. He basically said Trump would fire a lot of people. He was right. Regardless of your loyalty toward him, one shouldn't expect to hold a stable job working with Trump; he's not that type of boss. Ideally you get in, do a lot of brown-nosing, get what you need out of it, then leave before you're fired.
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats repeatedly found his warnings about the threat posed by Russia suppressed by the White House, The New York Times reported in the wake of his resignation from the post.
Coats saw Russia as an adversary to the US, the Times wrote, and pushed for closer cooperation with European countries to counter it, but the White House did not agree.
Several times Coats saw his language on the Kremlin's activities watered down by the White House, according to the Times.
A secret report by Coats on Russia's attempt to interfere in the 2018 mid-terms by spreading disinformation was reportedly altered by the White House. A public statement on Coat's conclusions contained less critical language than the original, the Times said.

It's surprising too because these are good paying jobs.
