President Trump is making good on his promises to “drain the swamp” and cut Obama-era holdovers from his staffs, especially the critical and recently controversial National Security Council.
Officials confirmed that Trump and national security adviser Robert O’Brien have cut 70 positions inherited from former President Barack Obama, who had fattened the staff to 200.
Since entering the White House, Trump has relied on staffs smaller than previous administrations and has noted how prior president’s had a much smaller NSC team.

I’m sure he was....and those two are some others I’m not too happy about - but I understand why he has them there: He doesn’t feel like he can truly trust anyone else.
You don’t have to tell me. I live the bureaucracy every day.
If he had done anything like this as soon as he took office...THERE WOULD BE NO RE ELECTION FOR HIM.
By doing it THIS WAY HE:
EXPOSED FAR MORE THAN EVEN HE ANTICIPATATED
REMAINED COOPERATIVE AND PATIENT THEREBY ATTRACTING THOSE
OTHER THAN REPUBLICANS
HAS SHOWN THAT CAREFUL PLANNING WINS MORE THAT “TRIGGERED”
RESPONSES
THIS MAN IS A GENIUS AND A MASTER AT READING THE THOUGHTS AND WISHES OF THE PEOPLE.
WE.ARE.SOOO.LUCKY TO HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I agree. He should have cleaned house within hours of the inauguration started from scratch.
First installment on WINNING for Monday!
Bad advice from some timid proto deep stater advisers.
Oh, I agree with that aspect as well. But many of the NSA people who work in the White House don’t fall into that category, and I am sure he thought the military people would be trustworthy...which they weren’t.
Bingo!
Like the Rats always do!
Watershed event.
Shaping the battlefield for the next four years.
GOOD DEAL!!!
Imo, ALL of the swamp-dwellers need to be FIRED & removed from every “position of public trust”.

They also need their security clearances revoked so they can’t infect any other areas of the government.
Great news to start the day! Thanks!
Since you know better and could have done such a better job than Trump, America should have elected you as president.

Just heard on Rush that Vindmann was selected to attend the Army War College this summer. That means he’s a lock to be promoted to full Colonel.

HR McMaster blocked the cleaning out of the termites.
He’ll be taking classes.
Resume enhancer.
Selection to AWC means he’s in the top 40% of his year group. You don’t get sent to the war colleges unless you’re going o be an O-6.
