Between the Department of Homeland Security, the attorney general’s office and U.S. Border Patrol, it seems that having a command position under the Trump administration does not come with a sense of job security. The likelihood that one will be fired or urged to resign from their post abruptly appears to be high, especially since this is an administration that embarrasses itself on the national and global stage on a daily basis, leaving everyone’s jobs at the mercy of the whim of a president who isn’t self-aware enough to understand he’s the ultimate embarrassment. This, of course, leads to officials being thrown under the MAGA bus, so President Donald Trump can pretend he’s saving face, but you have to wonder if some of these officials caught in this revolving door of imbecilic Trump stooges even want to work in such a chaotic, competency-deficient environment.

Or maybe it’s the simpler answer: Trump is trash so he appoints trash to represent his trash administration.

Anyway, U.S. Border Patrol has lost yet another commander, as Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks has announced he’s stepping down, which only makes him the latest official to leave one way or the other since DHS Secretary Kristi Noem got the boot before being replaced by former Republican senator Markwayne “Make Dueling Great Again” Mullin.

“After almost 37 years of public service, now is my time to enjoy family and life,” Banks told CNN Thursday.

It’s worth noting that last month, acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons announced he was stepping away from his position, also claiming he just wants to spend time with his family.

In other interviews, Banks made himself sound like the savior of the U.S. border, taking the helm after the ousting of former Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, who, interestingly enough, was Banks’ subordinate before he got promoted over Banks, which likely happened because Bovino was louder about his bigotry, xenophobia and his willingness to do harm to immigrant communities across the country in the name of “total border domination.”
