President-elect Donald Trump will tap KT McFarland to be his deputy national security adviser, according to Bloomberg News and the New York Times. McFarland, a former spokeswoman in the Pentagon during the Reagan era, lives in New York and currently serves as a Fox News National Security Analyst. She also served in the Nixon and Ford administrations and was an aide to Dr. Henry Kissinger, according to her Fox News profile.
She also ran for the New York United States Senate seat held by Hillary Clinton in 2006, but was defeated by her Republican rival John Spencer.
McFarland signaled on Fox News after the election that she would be happy to join the Trump administration if asked.
"I put him smack dab in the middle of where Ronald Reagan was," she said, speaking about the president-elect's foreign policy. "Have a strong military, but you don't use it. And you have such a strong military that nobody picks a fight with you. But then if they are dumb enough to do it, then you respond."
As Deputy National Security adviser, McFarland would work with Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn to advise Trump on matters of foreign policy.

Wouldn't that be a hoot if Trump floated misinformation that his admin was considering Megyn Kelly for a position?
Outstanding pick.
“Plans for the Manhattan project in one hand , and a Manhattan in the other”
Ditto.
McFarland a great choice, lmo!
Another adult in a position of authority. Excellent choice. Trump picking the cream of the crop.
If she was good enough for Reagan, She is good enough for Trump.
