Didn’t Trump get famous for “firing” people on TV?

I was literally coming to the comments to say something similar. He's the "You're Fired!" guy how could anyone be surprised by this? He criticized the Biden administration for not firing people...

Nobody is surprised by this. The Harris campaign is aware of and is reminding people of this exact fact. It's part of why the ad is compelling. Seems smart and effective to me. It's made everyone stop to talk about how Trump is famous for firing people.

He likes firing people, but can't seem to do it face-to-face it seems: https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/28/politics/donald-trump-firing-twitter/index.html

He also is notorious for skipping the bill on as much as he possibly can. A real charmer.
