As President Trump’s National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster has been highly problematic.  For starters, he has been insubordinate to his Commander-in-Chief.  He has exhibited deplorable judgment on policy issue after issue. 

And he has staffed the National Security Council with individuals who share his views, but not those of Donald Trump – even as he has purged those few staffers who were loyal to the President.

In a TV appearance Sunday, McMaster made clear that he cannot work with the President’s Chief Strategist, Steve Bannon – a transparent effort to achieve the termination of one Trump loyalist he can’t fire himself.  

McMaster is forcing Mr. Trump to choose between a subordinate he cannot trust and that his base loathes and the man to whom he wisely entrusted his then-failing campaign and who enjoys the confidence of the Trump constituency.  Shouldn’t be a hard call.
