"Secretary of Energy Rick Perry plans to leave his position at the end of the year, President Trump confirmed to reporters Thursday in Fort Worth, Texas. Trump praised Perry and said he already has a replacement in mind.

"Rick has done a fantastic job," Trump said. " But it was time."

Trump said that Perry's resignation didn't come as a surprise and that he has considered leaving for six months because "he's got some very big plans."

This administration has more turn overs than a call center.

[thirtythree]

That makes 38 resigned, 20 fired and 7 unsure if resigned or fired.
65 Trump appointees gone.
He’s got the best people...

[benitocuevas]

So instead of eliminating the Dept of Energy he got eliminated instead. LOL

[WilG]

Before the trump administration I didn’t think it was possible to put a revolving door on a clown car. I guess I’m wrong.

[MrJWTH]

There are three reason he resigned but he can’t remember what the third on was.

[viewholicsanonymous]

I wonder how many people are filing the paperwork to leave that hellhole right now.

[INMATE]

The fact Rick Perry was ever even energy secretary is absolutely terrifying

It's easier to cut a deal with the Feds if you quit and flip.

Rick Perry in prison: "Is that a shiv in my back?"

Rats don't swim towards a sinking ship.

[ARrights]

They are all leaving to spend more quality time... shredding their documents.

[rootwo]

Rick Perry meant to do this months ago but forgot how to say the word Resign until today

[ernstbtmn]

Call this what it is;
"rats leaving a sinking ship..."
Man, I didn't know a "swamp" could be that deep!

[RobynEllyn]

"Another one bites the dust." "And another gone, ..." Keep em coming.

You're not allowed to do anymore white house resignation announcements without playing that whole intro...I suspecct we'll be hearing it a lot the next 12 months.
