Trump’s second advisor, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, has been there for months but hasn’t removed most of the Obama hirelings. Several dozen remain, many in positions of significant responsibility.

Why are there several dozen obama people still in the NSC. I didn't vote for the President so that obama's people could stay on in Justice and State and the NSC to see that obama's destructive agenda continues to move FORWARD!

Consider what Obama did secretly off line, I would allow no holdovers at all. Everyone wanting back into my administration would need to be re-cleared.

Trump doesn’t look to bloggers for advice, so neither do I.

“Consider what Obama did secretly off line, I would allow no holdovers at all. Everyone wanting back into my administration would need to be re-cleared.”

Absolutely. Those who Obama surrounded himself include too many fanatic ideologues who feel justified doing just about anything in order to proceed with their self-perceived ‘divine mission’. These are cultists, and are just as dangerous as the members of any cult.

If Trump doesn’t publicly fire McMaster I’ll believe Trump has been compromised, most likely by threats to his family, or, he was used by the deep state to fool us just like the bogus Florida recount was used to fool us. It fooled us into thinking we’d won by putting a retarded fraudulent puppet in the white house.

Though loyalty to the president is important, McMaster’s ideology and bad judgment are what make him unfit for the position.

This is a stupid statement and absolute contradiction - one can't be loyal to a President who opposes many things "your ideology" represents.

Everybody has a past.

Jed Babbin is a former United States Deputy Undersecretary of Defense who served during the first Bush administration in the United States.

This article blows away all the arguments for retaining McMaster. Obozo demonstrated time and again that he would dismiss any military officer at the drop of a dime who was not on board with his ideology. McMaster survived. Now, this chameleon thinks he can morph into the President’s administration. This guy is slick, but he doesn’t pass the litmus test for this President. He is perhaps the most devious and potentially dangerous member of the “Deep State.”

I cannot figure out a good reason that McMaster is in his position. Is there a subtle way to use him there or is Trump just lacking in power to actually get rid of these pro_pieceful_religion_ traitors.

You’re being gamed. This attempt to fire McMasters through unconfirmed leaks and media smears will only result in Trump looking weak. If Trump thinks McMasters needs to go, he’ll fire him. Otherwise you’re just working for the dems in this regard. We’ve got plenty of foes on the left and in the GOP congress. Lets focus on them.

Trust Trump.

I agree. There is a reason that McMasters is around. Trump knows it and we, apparently, do not.

I don’t like what I read about McMasters, either, but I know Trump is reading it as well.

O.K. guys, sanity check here. H.R. McMaster is a badass combat leader with an incredible record. He is arguably one of the foremost military thinkers of this generation.

That having been said, if he can't admit that Islam is a problem, then his political ideology disqualifies him as National Security Adviser in these times.

I’m starting to think Kelly is just as dangerous.

He’s the guy who schmoozed Trump into getting the CoS position—and immediately moved to shut down Trump’s access to the outside world.

The president is valiantly fighting the good fight for us, but that he has been this deluded this many months in is discouraging.

McMaster, Kelly and Mueller need to go.

He needs to call me. I will school him but good, having studied Islam since the mid-60s.

“one source tells me”

“who have been identified by a source”

” One source told me”

Funny how no one has a name.

“Since March I’ve written that McMaster should not be national security advisor because he believes that Islam has no relationship to terrorism.”

That’s just a lie. McMaster uses the same term as the King of Jordan and other of our Gulf allies to describe terrorist Islam- and that’s “political Islam”. Mattis does exactly the same thing. But they won’t use terms that our Muslim allies in the fight against ISIS and the Taliban find insulting. Anyone who thinks that we don’t have Muslim allies needs to explain who they think is doing the bulk of the heavy door to door fighting in Mosul and Raqqa.

President Trump reiterated his support for McMaster just last Friday. Jeb Babbin isn’t wiser than Trump.

That’s bull squat. McMaster has been a religion of peace guy since 9-12-01. He is not to be trusted. And as far as I’m concerned Mattiis is just as bad. Trump is not omniscient and has an obvious soft spot for Generals. there’s no good reason why upwards of 40 obama NSC scum are STILL in the White House.

I’m not being gamed and I do trust Trump. In most regards. McMaster is an Obama General protecting the Obama NSC staff in the Trump White House. What’s wrong with this picture?
