President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Susan Rice and the Latest Bogus Attempt to Justify Trump’s Wiretapping Tweet

But perhaps more importantly at the moment ...

Bannon Removed From National Security Council Role in Shakeup

 

More jobs than expected, fewer illegal border crossings than expected.

It's almost like priorities, and leadership matter.

 

McMaster continues to assert himself:

President Donald Trump reorganized his National Security Council on Wednesday, removing his chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, and downgrading the role of his Homeland Security Adviser, Tom Bossert, according to a person familiar with the decision and a regulatory filing.

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster was given responsibility for setting the agenda for meetings of the NSC or the Homeland Security Council, and was authorized to delegate that authority to Bossert, at his discretion, according to the filing.

Under the move, the national intelligence director, Dan Coats, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, are again "regular attendees" of the NSC’s principals committee.

Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, was elevated to the National Security Council’s principals committee at the beginning of Trump’s presidency. The move drew criticism from some members of Congress and Washington’s foreign policy establishment.

Meanwhile, even ISIS is trolling Trump.

ISIS message calls Trump 'foolish idiot' - CNNPolitics.com

"You (America) are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye," Muhajir says. "There is no clearer sign of you being ruled by a foolish idiot who does not know what Levant or Iraq or Islam is, who continue(s) his hallucination to express his animosity and war against it (Islam)."

 

O/U on how long it takes for Trump and/or his comrades to declare the Bannon thing as FAKE NEWS?

 

When ISIS trolls you, the terrorists have won.

 

Give President Trump credit for fixing one of his mistakes. He should have done it sooner, but I'll take progress wherever we can find it.

 

Y'all, it wasn't a demotion at all.



(But anonymous sources are bad, right?)

 

Or, like his spirit animal DT, he blames Obama or Hilliary.

 

When spinning today's news makes Trump look even dumber ...



"So why appoint Flynn in the first place?" better have been the next question.

 

Giving the white nationalist a different role =/= firing him. He still needs to be kicked to the curb faster than you can say Brad's wife.
