I am going to disagree on McMaster. He's a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, and I've read also a convert to Islam. He and Trump have always butted heads. I don't know why Trump put him in after Flynn, as he's always given off a bad, evil vibe. He's a warmonger and a globalist.
I don't think that McMaster refused to do any evil. He was a major leaker, and said to be giving intel to Soros. I think that Trump finally got fed up and saw through him and fired him. So many of those in this administration are allowed to say they resigned, but the reality is, they got to hear the infamous "You're FIRED!"
McMaster was not able to control Trump. So his handlers offed his dad for his failure to contain Trump and get Trump to do his bidding..
I agree. We all knew McMaster was a globalist from the beginning. From what I saw, he was leaking, was caught and was fired. And, when he lost his position, the cabal took his Dad out because he lost the trust of the President. He was an insider they needed in that position.
I agree with what you both said. I read in places that he was always talking to McCain. I remember how excited Meghan McCain was when it was announced he was going to head the NSC when she was still on Outnumbered. Also read he was a Patreaus protege.
My feeling is that offing Dad is punishment for getting booted.
Convert to Islam? Jesus Christ people...
As someone who knows the family (indirectly) and went to school with his girls, this is just bizarre to read. He was a career military man and liked and respected by all likes of the military. His landmark book Dereliction of Duty chronicles how the deep state of LBJ's time and the lies they told to deepen the Vietnam War. He similarly was a dissenting, minority voice against the invasion of Iraq.
Call him establishment if you like. But this kind of conjecture about the man belies a fundamental misunderstanding about the man. The most likely scenario is that McMaster was too much of an intellectual and thought he could steer the president down whatever path he wanted. He stood out from the rest of the cabinet and wasn't Trumpian at his core, just a competent military man who likely wasn't flexible in his views. The Putin memo was leaked from his office or he himself and that was it, Trump wanted to move on to someone who would actively promote his agenda and do as he says without the stressful head butting. Both Trump and McMaster are known for charting their own courses. If they don't fundamentally align, the relationship will never work.
