My Opinion: Mike Waltz hasn't been fired yet, because

The Trump cultists were (and are) afraid that it would put the Fla. 6th in further jeopardy. It's Waltz's district so he has to have some friends and supporters there. If Trump dumped him prior to the election tomorrow, it would cost the Republican in that race votes and maybe the election itself.

I expect Waltz to get fired about a week from tomorrow.

Mango Mussolini will not admit as a narcissist that he was wrong.

He will fire for disloyalty, but not for incompetent work.

This says F you to all the people who said he waltz was unqualified to begin with. The only qualifications are loyalty to mango Mussolini, a love of cruelty, and a lack of empathy. Being a white male is preferred but not required if you are sufficiently loyal and subservient (see Noem and Vivek R).

that you can't add a person to a chat, text or email without first having that contact in your phone in the first place. Waltz was a congressman and talked to journalists as part of his job. Goldberg's info was in his phone and Trump, even if he acts like an idiot, knows that.

That's the part Trump can't stand and he wants to roll Waltz's head down the hill. He just wants to wait for this election in Florida to end. He'll wait a week and then either Waltz will be forced to resign, or he'll be fired outright. Anyway, that's my opinion.
