... (badly and occasionally throwing the board against the wall), President Trump has been playing 4D chess since early in the Biden administration.
Spicer, et. al. v Biden (https://youtu.be/Dqm4GFVyMLI?si=3jbO9BDZ7xmCOFQj)
It's a really amusing backstory to Trump's firing of the Kennedy Center board.
In a petty move, President Biden fired Sean Spicer from a service board, to which he had been appointed by President Trump, during his first term. Spicer's term was already set to expire on November 1, 2021 but, he received an email from the President's office, on September 1, 2021, demanding he resign and clear out by 6:00 P.M. that day or be fired...a mere 60 days before his term was to naturally expire, at which time Sean Spicer figured he wouldn't be reappointed, anyway. Spicer says he didn't see the point is contesting the firing so, he was ready to just move on.
Well, Stephen Miller (current White House Assistant Chief of Staff) approached Spicer and others that were similarly fired and persuaded them to sue President Biden.
The goal? To get a judge and an appeals court to rule the President had unlimited, unreviewable power to fire any appointee in any agency. To set that precedent for the next Republican President - who he believed would be Donald J. Trump.
As predicted a judge ruled against Spicer and he lost on appeal. Precedent set.
In the video, Spicer tells Glenn Beck that when President Trump fired the Kennedy Center Board, they were advised to sue the President. They responded, "We can't, there a court ruling from just a couple of years ago giving Trump the power to fire them all. Biden v. Spicer. It's a lock-tight precedent."
Brilliant! The hits just keep coming.
