Trump to remove Billy Long as IRS commissioner, Bessent named acting head, NYT reports

U.S. President Donald Trump is removing Billy Long as the commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing four people familiar with the matter. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will serve as acting commissioner until a permanent replacement is in...

So what did Long do, fail to kiss Trump's ass in public or...?
 

Must've forgotten to pay the monthly tithe to the Trump Organization.
 
Bessent cannot serve as the commission of the IRS. This is a MASSIVE conflict of interest.
 

Threatened to release the promised TACO tax returns?

He clashed with Bessent, who apparently demanded that Long run everything past him.

Of course, he was deeply unsuited to the job. But that's not cause for firing in the President Hernando Gonzalez Enriques Rodriguez regime.

The IRS is also in chaos. It's lost 1/4 of its staff, and has had SIX commissioners THIS YEAR already. There is no way that's by accident, that can only be a deliberate attempt to destabilize the agency.
 
Destabilize the EPA, Education, PBS, the Inspector General's office, the redistricting process, the IRS...
 
Trump thought he had seen him on TV but quickly figured out he was not really Jabba the Hutt.
 
Well there you have it folks, a Trump hire who wanted to do the right thing. If the right thing gets in the way of the Trump agenda, you're fired!
