Trump WH reshuffle

Trump Removes Stephen Bannon From National Security Council Post

A new order issued by Mr. Trump, dated Tuesday and made public on Wednesday, removes Mr. Bannon from the principals committee, restores the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and intelligence director and also adds the energy secretary, C.I.A. director and United Nations ambassador.

But the reorganization seemed a clear victory for General McMaster as he struggles to assert control over national security. In addition to the changing membership of the principals committee, the new order also puts the Homeland Security Council under General McMaster rather than making it a separate entity, as Mr. Trump’s original order had done.

Maybe, Bannon will do the country a favor and follw the footsteps of Gen. Flynn.

Gotta wonder if they collared Trump and demanded, "he goes or we go!"

Wr are still stuck with the clueless idiot in chief, the clueless and overloaded Jared Kushner, and the equally clueless Rex Tillerson to handle the footwork.

Tillerson is basically harmless and clueless, but that's not his fault, other than accepting the SOS job.
OTOH Jared Kushner's qualifications and experience along with any lack of vetting should be questioned.

That now makes four of Trump's appointees to the NSC to step down or be fired - Bannon, Flynn, Monica Crowley and McFarland (supposedly being banished soon to obscurity in Singapore). I though he hired only the "best people."

"Grown-ups in control" (except for the Oval Office).
I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:

We need to lose Jefferson Davis Sessions and his acolyte Steve Miller, the billionaire club appointments can go next. A healthy infusion​ of competence over loyalty to follow.
Let's hope the serious reality of North Korea and Syria serve as a wake up call to the idiot in chief.

He's fired a lot of apprentices.
