President Trump has decided to remove H.R. McMaster as his national security adviser and is actively discussing potential replacements, according to five people with knowledge of the plans, preparing to deliver yet another jolt to the senior ranks of his administration.
Trump is now comfortable with ousting McMaster, with whom he never personally gelled, but is willing to take time executing the move because he wants to ensure both that the three-star Army general is not humiliated and that there is a strong successor lined up, these people said.
The turbulence is part of a broader potential shake-up under consideration by Trump that is likely to include senior officials at the White House, where staffers are gripped by fear and uncertainty as they await the next move from an impulsive president who enjoys stoking conflict.
For all of the evident disorder, Trump feels emboldened, advisers said buoyed by what he views as triumphant decisions last week to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum and to agree to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The president is enjoying the process of assessing his team and making changes, tightening his inner circle to those he considers survivors and who respect his unconventional style, one senior White House official said.
Just days ago, Trump used Twitter to fire Rex Tillerson, the secretary of state whom he disliked, and moved to install his close ally, CIA Director Mike Pompeo, in the job. On Wednesday, he named conservative TV analyst Larry Kudlow to replace his top economic adviser, Gary Cohn, who quit over trade disagreements.
And on Thursday, Trump signaled that more personnel moves were likely. There will always be change, the president told reporters. And I think you want to see change. I want to also see different ideas.

Daily Mail...British tabloid
The Washington Post just won the coveted Brian Ross award for fake news! LOL!
Just spoke to @POTUS and Gen. H.R. McMaster - contrary to reports they have a good working relationship and there are no changes at the NSC.— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) March 16, 2018
Thanks!
This is the problem with the Amazon Washington Post. They don’t check, they don’t verify anything. They run off half cocked. Their sources are pure garbage. But they keep using them.
yep, appears to be more fake news from WaPoo based on fake sources:
repeatedly baned anti-trump troll pinkbell greatly saddened ...
Yes, Mathis is the one of which I was thinking. I think McMasters also feels the same way though. It seems to be a sickness going round in the higher corridors of power.
They start with saying Trump used twitter to fire Rex Tillerson.
Then they claim he is firing McMaster, on the basis of unnamed sources.
Seems they would wait for the tweet.
Could be a smokescreen put out to find a mole?
Oh, this is good. How many times have I been banned?
McMaster isn’t running the military. You need to take your complaint to General Mattis, the Secretary of Defense.
Yes, I forgot which one was which, but I’m not terribly happy with either of them.
