An ongoing staffing purge being conducted by White House National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster has thrown the West Wing into chaos, according to more than half a dozen Trump administration insiders who told the Washington Free Beacon that McMaster has been targeting long-time Trump loyalists who were clashing with career government staffers and holdovers from the Obama administration.

The purge is part of a larger drama unfolding inside the administration, between veteran Trump staffers committed to the president's campaign vision of "draining the swamp"‘ in Washington and entrenched bureaucracies seeking to maintain control over policy decision-making, according to these sources, who said that many of these actions against his supporters are being conducted without Trump's knowledge.

Because people on anonymous message boards and blog sites are smarter than Trump and his team?

Nobody from the McMaster camp is disputing any of the facts here. Their silence speaks volumes.

Let’s hope this is fake news. I cannot see Trump letting this happen.

Booting long-time Trump loyalists in favor of career government staffers and holdovers from the Obama administration?

Why weren’t the career government staffers and holdovers from the Obama administration given their walking papers on Day One? Tillerson has these rats scurrying down the ratlines and hawsers over at State. A bit of that is happening at EPA (good news today!). Needs to happen in every department.

The very wording suggests that this is McMaster’s own doing, in conflict with Trump. Which is nonsense.

Because Trump now realizes the swamp is way too deep for one man to drain. He has 60,000,000 willing to help but they don’t have the power.

He should be rounding up high ranking military personnel who were purged by Obama. And maybe he has and they don’t want any part of it. Those guys achieved their ranks because they know you don’t attack against overwhelming odds.

We just need to keep asking God to protect Trump and his family and to give Trump the strength and courage to carry on. His will be done.

Probably not true. Looks like disinformation against McMaster by Obama holdovers trying to delay their own departure.
