Wow. A third National Security Advisor in less than six months?

According to rumors, a personnel change could be coming to the West Wing. Gen. H.R. McMaster, the White House national security adviser, has grown out of favor with President Donald Trump, Bloomberg’s Eli Lake reported on Monday.

Lake, who has proved to have a source or two within the Trump administration, reported that Trump has openly clashed with McMaster in front of staff, complaining that he has been “undermining” his policy. The president was livid, according to three White House officials who spoke with Lake, upon discovering through a Wall Street Journal story that McMaster had contradicted his threat of making South Korea pay for its missile defense system.

In meetings, McMaster apparently ignores the president whenever possible. Lake reported that the national security adviser does not give Trump a chance to ask questions during briefings, instead opting to lecture the rookie president on security issues.

Joe Scarborough, host of “Morning Joe” and a close friend to the president, reported on Monday that several White House sources told him that the McMaster story is coming from Steve Bannon, the White House’s chief strategist.

4. A bunch of groveling yes-men (and a few token women, sure) surrounding Dear Leader?

Sounds like a splendid idea! What could possibly go wrong?

5. McMaster is the canary, no way he's going. McMaster can crap on Benedict Donald's shoes and if he's

... fired then the KGOP knows they should bust a move.

6. No one sane is going to stay working for this idiot

7. One newspaper report said donnie was screaming at McMaster.

The article made it sound like donnie is either a child or emotionally unstable or both.

Donnie can't be hiring and firing everyone every 4-5 months.

8. He seemed sane so we knew that was coming.
