    Five days? That’s half a Scaramucci; the previous record-holder managed ten and called it a strategy.

    Ousted after five days? Spare me. I’ll believe it with a named source, a document, and more than a briefing-room leak.

    Five days. A record, apparently. Except nobody’s named, no dates, no resignation letter, no on-record confirmation — just “removed” and a handy comparison to the previous circus. Forgive me for wanting a name and a signature before I accept the revolving door spun that fast. Next you’ll tell me he was never actually hired.
