I would have no doubt this is a fake news story.
When Jack Trapper opens his mouth it is ‘Hillary and Hussein bull s*** and lies’ and FAIRY TALES...CNN, SUCKS...THAT IS THE BEST I CAN SAY...(wink~wink).
I believe his family didn't want dragged through the mud, that the Democrats are doing to all Trump appointments, and he already more than likely has a job that pays him more that the one the POTUS offered...MONEY TALKS...AND I BELIEVE HE IS A POLITICAL PERSON...
NOW OTHERS CAN HAVE A CHANCE...I LIKE JOHN BOLTON AND LS RECOMMENDED McMasters...do a search, he seems good also.
