““General McMaster and I are working very well together,” he said in a statement emailed to The New York Times. “He is a good man and very pro–Israel. I am grateful for the work he continues to do serving our country.”
That looks like a lukewarm endorsement to me. Nowhere does Trump say that he’s satisfied with McMaster’s role as NSA.
I’m not sure the NSC has much influence on foreign policy. I’m thinking their role is solely advisory, and they certainly have no authority to execute foreign policy. Maybe best for Trump to mostly ignore them.
“General McMaster and I are working very well together,” he said in a statement emailed to The New York Times. “He is a good man and very pro–Israel. I am grateful for the work he continues to do serving our country.”
Pretty clear the anti-Israel charges stung McMaster the most. Obviously because they are true.
Kushner is a fool to sign off on firing Trumpers. Soon the deep state will come for him. And there won’t be anybody left to defend him.
Correct. The National Security Advisor and
National Security Council are just there to advise the President on issues of National Security! Whatever influence they have on foreign policy is if the President takes their advice on a foreign or national security matter! The National Security Advisor’s office isn’t far from the Oval Office and can immediately brief and advise the President on a moments notice!
