Senior Trump appointee fired after he criticized the president and his administration

WASHINGTON — A senior Trump administration official was fired following criticism in a private speech of President Donald Trump’s policies and his inner circle of advisers.

Craig Deare, whom Trump appointed a month ago to head the National Security Council’s Western Hemisphere division, was on Friday escorted out of the Executive Office Building, where he worked in Washington.

A senior White House official confirmed that Deare is no longer working at the NSC and has returned to the position he previously held at the National Defence University. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an incident not otherwise made public, and provided no further details.


One month?...That must be some sort of a record for the "best qualified" people.

At least he's not drawing Pogey...

The guy isn't in the position he was "appointed to"...

Flynn?

the Guy that was chosen as but ONE of the "best people" that TheRUMP would appoint?

Not only can TheRUMP pick losers...I have to give TheRUMP's "pick"...Flynn props for picking a person that will speak out...Even IF HE (Flynn) is a loser(for sucking up to the boss)...HIS(Flynns) pick is a "winner".

who knows where any truth lies in most of today's media stories

Even when a person can watch events unfold in front of their eyes/ears?

Does that statement mean no one should talk/post about ANY/ALL things they read?

Since no one "knows"...people should have NO comments/opinion?

Yep...who knows

Replacing people in the WH
Feb 20, 2017 2:41AM PST

quickly into a new administration isn't new....and most happen early on but BO pretty much holds the record for getting rid of those who didn't agree with him, including National Security and Financial advisors because they opposed his agendas. National Security and Financial people replacements for quite a while was like watching revolving doors. This is just for the first year and a half....there were many more after that.

I'm sure, as Trump finds the leakers and those who are in the 'swamp', many more will follow since that's what he ran on. He's gotten rid of three that we know of if you count Yates. You act as if this is 'new' when it's actually the 'norm'. Obama had a hard time keeping even the most loyal and faithful to stick around (Axelrod, Van Jones, Emanuel, Holder) for the long haul. In the end, I think the only one he had left was Valerie Jarrett....but she was called the 'mistress in Chief' and the one who really pulled all the strings of the puppet of the radical left known as Obama.
