We're not in a 'what' crisis, we are in a 'how' crisis,

In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.

It makes it even worse. It is really a tone-deaf response to the crisis. It is a real grab to get an ideological position across that they haven't been able to achieve under normal circumstances.

Sacking the president isn't the panacea for what ails the Red Cross.

If you don't believe what the president believes or more generally what the White House believes, you're not going to get a second look and that narrows the pool to a very small number of people,

If you were a Democrat, you'd probably get hammered for it. There's an irony there. You've got a Republican president overseeing the creation of a large, new department. But I don't think he'll get criticized for it.
