Donald Trump flip flops, asks DC National Guard chief to stay past inauguration, but chief refuses



In a bizarre move, Donald Trump has demanded that the commanding officer of the Washington, D.C. National Guard resign from his post in the middle of the Inauguration ceremony, even though the general will be in the middle of helping oversee the event's security, the Washington Post reported on Friday



Palmer reports Major General will leave the moment Trump is president:



One day after the Donald Trump administration announced that the head of the Washington DC National Guard would be fired in the middle of the inauguration at the precise moment Trump was sworn in, prompting a firestorm of controversy and questions about what might truly be behind the move, the story has taken yet another turn. In the wake of the backlash, the Trump team has now asked Major General Errol R. Schwartz to stay on for an extra few days after the inauguration. But even that has now backfired.



Schwartz is now refusing Donald Trumps request to stay on, and has decided to go ahead and vacate his post the minute Trump is sworn in, as hed originally been told he would have to. The Major Generals reasoning? According to the Washington Post, he had already finished packing up his office and notified his staff of his impending exit.
