Sheesh Morelock,Don't spin this as 'leadership'. NO IT ISN'T. Drumpf hired him, and didn't care about his shady stock deal issues. Drumpf showed bad judgment by hiring this wasteful and arrogant quack.Oh this Winning is just Too much.i really can't take it.

VA chief took in Wimbledon, river cruise on European work trip; wife’s expenses covered by taxpayers

Nearly three days into a trip to Europe this past July, Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin had attended a Wimbledon championship tennis match, toured Westminster Abbey and taken a cruise on the Thames.
The 10-day trip was not entirely a vacation. Shulkin was in Europe for meetings with Danish and British officials about veterans’ health issues, so taxpayers picked up part of the tab.
Yet he and his wife spent about half their time sightseeing, including shopping and touring historic sites, according to an itinerary obtained by The Washington Post and confirmed by a U.S. official familiar with their activities.

Maybe he hired a 12-year House member to fire him and thereby "clean the swamp".

The ‘swamp’ drain is plugged, water is all over the WH floor.

he's actually holding them accountable. something we don't normally see. I think Price was also because he couldn't get a health care bill passed.

 

[newfie]

He only hires the best people.

and then holds them accountable for their performance. After 8 years of Benghazi coverups and basement servers its a nice change.

 

[moreluck]

Price is the first cabinet secretary to go from Trump's administration.
