Third post so far on this in the last hour.

And it’s still old news.

Is this still headlining on Drudge?

I don’t understand Trump at times. He removes General Flynn to replace him with McMaster who refuses to identify radical Islamic terrorism. He puts Mattis in there and then Mattis tries to put an Obama lackey associated with the Muslim Brotherhood in as his assistant.

Steve Bannon is my favorite Trump advisor. Hope the GOPe and NeoCons don’t manage to somehow get rid of him. Hang tough, President Trump. Know who your true friends are.

Trump had his trusted friend sit in on his first NSC meetings until he knew that he could trust his NSC staff.

Now Trump feels comfortable with his NSC staff and there is no need for Bannon.

Hmmm. So to the msm/lsm that probably equates to: “The End Is Near For the Trump administration. It’s only a matter of time until he resigns now.” Sound about right for their train of thought?

As LS has said, political strategy is more Bannon’s forte and he has not attented NSC meetings regularily anyow. He can always be brought in as needed.

Nancy agrees with you!

Pelosi Says Ivanka Trump Has Been ‘Complicit’ in Her Father’s Actions

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) targeted President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, during a Wednesday press conference. Pelosi’s comments came after she asked about comments Ivanka Trump made during an interview on “CBS This Morning.”

CBS host Gayle King had asked Trump to address those who say she is “complicit” in her father’s White House. “In an interview today, Ivanka Trump said, ‘I don’t know what it means to be complicit’ and that ‘not to conflate lack of public denouncement with silence.’ What do you make of these comments?” an-off camera reporter asked Pelosi.

Hearing from insiders that this is in fact bogus. A reorganization after McMaster has taken over NSC as should occur.

Moreover, Bannon was there to de-politicize the NSC after Rice, Obama, all the ilk.

So, much ado about nothing.

The usual #nevertrumpers of all types are always offended. They are just dying to ridicule Trump for anything that pops up.

Agreed. President Trump made it very clear that Gen McMaster would have free reign over who he chose as members of the NYC.

Bannon was there to until the NYC was established. He can devote time towards his primary role as chief political advisor.

To: navysealdad; All

Might I suggest READING the articles before opining?

Excerpt:
“Bannon originally served on the committee as a check against Michael Flynn before Flynn was ousted as National Security Advisor, a top White House official told NBC News. However, Bannon only attended one meeting and felt he was no longer needed in that role after the selection of H.R. McMaster as national security advisor. “

REPEAT:

“However, Bannon only attended one meeting and felt he was no longer needed in that role after the selection of H.R. McMaster as national security advisor. “”

My comprehension is that he never intended to be permanent - only filling in until no longer needed and then REMOVED HIMSELF...???

The headline is totally misleading - but I would hope that Freepers would know to check it with the actual story????

Guess not...
