There are rumors swirling of chaos within the Trump administration. Who knows if they’re completely true. The liberal media is desperate to make everything Trump related sound like the end of the world as we know it.
Still, word has it Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner are at odds, and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus is trying to smooth things over. There are even rumors that Priebus is on the chopping block. However, the White House denies those claims.
“The only thing we are shaking up is the way Washington operates,” White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News.
We can’t deny that something’s going on within the administration. Last week, Bannon was removed from the National Security Council, which made sense. He was only there to serve as a “check” on former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn (I still don’t fully understand the reasoning behind that). With H.R. McMaster in his place, there’s no need for Bannon to serve in that role anymore, which brings me to this.
Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland has been asked to step down. Although I should note, it doesn’t sound like a “bad blood” kind of thing. In fact, she’s expected to become the U.S. ambassador to Singapore.
The departure of the 65-year-old former Fox News commentator comes as Trump’s second National Security Advisor, Lt General H.R. McMaster, puts his own stamp on the National Security Council after taking over in February following the firing of Michael Flynn.
Interesting for sure.
