The well-oiled Trump White House has seen its fair share of scandal this week. On Monday, Feb. 13, the national security adviser to the president, Gen. Michael Flynn stepped down, revealing the Trump team allegedly had ties to Russia during the campaign.
On Thursday, after a 77-minute meltdown of a press conference, Trump's national security pick to replace Flynn, retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward, turned down the offer, reportedly calling it a "sh*t sandwich," according to CNN's Jake Tapper.
Here's what the internet had to say:

If someone had told Harward that the WH is "running like a fine-tuned machine," perhaps he would have taken the job. https://t.co/PSQJCjyDyG— David Axelrod (@David Axelrod)1487291671.0
