New York Times:

The shift was orchestrated by Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, who was tapped as Mr. Trump’s national security adviser after the resignation of Michael T. Flynn, who stepped down in February after being caught misleading Vice President Mike Pence and other White House officials about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador.

President Obama's Top 10 Failed Nominees and Appointees

By Sen. Jim DeMint(R-S.C.)

March 29, 2010

Below is the “Top 10” list of President Obama’s nominees and appointees who have resigned in disgrace.

1. Obama’s nominee to chair the National Intelligence Council, Chas Freeman, withdrew over questions about payments from the Saudi Arabian government, business ties to the state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corp., and negative statements he made about U.S. support for Israel. After he resigned he issued a combative public statement blaming the “Israel lobby” for “character assassination.”   

2. White House “Green Jobs” czar Van Jones resigned after it was discovered he signed a statement in support of a 9/11 “Truther” group.   

3. Former Sen. Tom Daschle (D-South Dakota) withdrew his nomination to become Health and Human Services Secretary after it was discovered he failed to properly pay his taxes.   

4. Nancy Killefer, Obama’s nominee to serve as the government’s chief performance officer, withdrew due to tax problems.

  5. Governor Bill Richardson (D-New Mexico) withdrew his nomination to become Commerce Secretary because of an ongoing investigation into whether he doled out government contracts in exchange for campaign money.   

6. White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers resigned after posing for photos at a White House dinner that a couple crashed through security to attend.

  7. Jonathan Z. Cannon, nominated to serve as deputy director at the Environmental Protection Administration, withdrew over questions about a defunct non-profit, America’s Clean Water Foundation, where he served as a board member. In 2007, EPA auditors accused the non-profit of mismanaging $25 million in taxpayer funding.

  8. Jide Zeitlin, Obama’s nominee to serve as U.S ambassador to the United Nations for management and reform withdrew his name while being accused of identify fraud and improper business practices.   

9. Erroll Southers, Obama’s nominee to serve as director of the Travel Security Administration, withdrew after refusing to answer questions about collective bargaining and false testimony he presented to Congress.

  10. Maj. Gen. Robert A. Harding, Obama’s second nominee to service as director of the Travel Security Administration, withdrew his name after it was discovered he received “service disabled veteran” status for sleep apnea.

Boy, one hopes Trump run his business better than he has been in charge of the US government. A Pinto runs better than he has been running his admin.

Yeah yeah yeah.....a lot of presidents reshuffle their picks after the first few months in the office - that is not an issue. BUT, how many appoint white supremacist right wing nut jobs to critically sensistive positions that could impact the whole world including Japan?

You're sitting there tearing yourself a new one for Trump; just Google it...as you do day in and day out!

Trump is running the country the way he was running his inherited wealth and assets companies by nepotism and mafia-like favoritism. And things are beginning to unravel after only 2 months.

Just imagine if he had just sat at the oval office and had done nothing and said/tweeted nothing. The economy would’ve been humming along, stock market breaking records, healthcare the same as before, visa vetting process operating with no problem, no foreign terrorists coming into the US and on, and on, and on.

But he wanted to Make America Great Again, and here we are in the middle of a big mess that’s getting messier every day.
