HARDLY a week goes by without another tweet storm from Washington DC. “You’re fired” was heard by Secretary of State Rex Wayne Tillerson and national economic adviser Gary Cohn (although strictly speaking, he resigned).

Cohn left over Trump’s tweet that “trade war is good”, whereas Tillerson, who was already in trouble over moronic remarks was fired because he differed with his president over Russia, Iran and other issues.
