    I think the Donald really just wants people who will suck up to him, and tell him how awesome he is.

    It is concerning that some very good and qualified cabinet members are leaving or being fired. These are top notch people. I find it hard to believe it is because of their lack of ability to perform the job.

    Seriously, I've noticed a pattern. Usually by Monday morning Trump has some biiiiig announcement. I'm thinking it's a strategy to keep the media and folks at the coffee dispenser talking about him throughout the week.

    National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster is a "dedicated public servant" and President Donald Trump said that "he had no intention of changing and that he looked forward to continue working with him," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday.

    Sounds ominous.

    Excerpt:

    After one year in his job, national security adviser H.R. McMaster is expected to depart his White House position soon, U.S. officials tell NPR's Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman. Despite a denial from the Trump administration, the only thing that is reportedly holding up McMaster's departure is a transition plan.

    McMaster's exit has been the subject of rumors, in a similar way that outgoing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had been viewed as not long for life under President Trump. Officials say McMaster, 55, could leave within weeks, possibly within a month or so.

    "We don't get a sense of when this will happen," Tom says, "but we're told it will likely happen."

    Information about Trump's desire to replace McMaster has been solidified by sources, despite a denial from White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who tweeted Thursday night that she had just spoken to Trump and McMaster and that "contrary to reports they have a good working relationship and there are no changes at the NSC [National Security Council]."

    Just spoke to @POTUS and Gen. H.R. McMaster - contrary to reports they have a good working relationship and there are no changes at the NSC.

    "Trump has publicly said that he respects H.R. McMaster, but their relationship has not been an easy one," Tom tells NPR's Rachel Martin on Morning Edition. "There were some policy differences: H.R. favored an enduring commitment in Afghanistan, he served there for a time and actually wanted more troops sent over there. Others in the White House disagreed with that."

    As for any possible personal rift between Trump and McMaster, Tom says, "People in the Army say he's 'all transmit,' as they would put it: He likes to lecture. That rubs some people the wrong way — and the sense is, that rubs Trump the wrong way."

    Some of McMaster's friends had reportedly advised him not to work for the new president — Tom cites some of their warnings: "The president is mercurial, he has no background in military policy, foreign policy — so it was a tough job for him to take. But ... [McMaster] is very aggressive, has a big ego. I'm sure he thought that he could do a pretty good job here. But clearly, he's on his way out."

    THE TWO-WAY
    Trump Chides McMaster For Saying Evidence Of Russian Interference 'Incontrovertible'
    Trump publicly chastised McMaster last month, after the national security adviser said that "the evidence is now really incontrovertible" that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election that put Trump in the Oval Office.

    That statement spurred Trump to tweet, "General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians" and to deny any collusion.

    When McMaster accepted the national security adviser job in the Trump administration one year ago, he was stepping into a post that had been vacated by the firing of Michael Flynn, who is also a figure in the Russian investigation. In early 2017, reports cited McMaster's reluctance to take the position — and when he finally did take the job, McMaster retained his active-duty status as a lieutenant general in the Army.

    "The job" involves massaging Dawn's fragile ego.
    Not many have the stomach for that very long.
    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    Trump is treating the presidency like it was a huge joke... He's always been famous for spite.

    I hope someone has told him he can't fire the Vice President.

    True

    I don't think the best want to work for Trump, especially after the way he publicly (humiliation) fires people as president.

    Trump truly does not know how to run an efficient executive branch. And certainly does not seem capable of garnering loyalty.
