President Donald Trump’s deputy national security adviser, K.T. McFarland, is expected to step down and has been offered the position of U.S. ambassador to Singapore, a U.S. official said on Sunday.

The move comes as Trump's national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, retools the national security team he inherited from retired General Michael Flynn, who resigned as Trump's first national security adviser in February.

The 65-year-old McFarland is a former national security analyst for Fox News and was one of Trump's original hires after he was elected president on Nov. 8.

News of her pending departure came less than a week after Trump removed his chief strategist, Steve Bannon, from a seat on the National Security Council at the urging of McMaster.

The speed with which Trump nationalists are being removed from the national security apparatus is breathtaking.

Singapore-nice place but who cares?

Wow, the United States did elect it's first woman president this past November with Donald as the first father. Extreme SARCASM of course, but the President's foreign policy is now becoming discernable while during the campaign it was a work clouded in uncertainty. Still a damn sight better than Hillary so he still deserves our support.😯

H.R. McMaster (a theorist) believes that radical Islam is separate from Islam and a perversion. KT McFarland (practical) believes that radical Islam is the same thing as Islam. Clash was inevitable. KT’s correct, of course, and HR will lead DJT down the same road that leads only to ME disasters and defeats - one of which is well underway in Syria.

KT is probably the sharpest mind he has on the Security team.

I don't think Russia will evacuate, so this will not be the usual ME disaster and defeat, but rather a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.

Fortunately, we are doing it at the same time as we are engaging North Korea, so the chance of this not being Armageddon is reduced significantly. Silver lining.

McMaster is an Islamophile son of a bitch. Worst of all Trump picks

Which is why H.R. McDhimmi wanted her out of the way

Pardon my double post.

Sometimes we need a double post to double the pleasure.
I want K.T. to stay active as part of this Administration, even if it’s just as a diplomat to Singapore.
Eventually, something more worthy will come her way.
I don’t know her, of course, but I like the way she presents herself, steady, trustworthy and not terribly pretentious; able to laugh at herself here and there.

She certainly didn't have any misplaced loyalties, which is why Flynn's replacement candidates wanted her gone.

At least she's walking away with her integrity and some prize money....

McMaster strikes me as a retard.

The Kushner gave her two choices; Singapore, or a slow boat to China.
