The White House is denying, but the media insists: H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser — the one who’s long been said to have strong sympathasies with the Muslim community — is on his way out.
President Donald Trump is “now comfortable” with firing him, several sources told the likes of the Washington Post and NBC News in recent days.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, has denied. But fact is: The whispers persist.
And for those who’ve been concerned about the national security of America, McMaster’s ouster is long overdue. He’s the guy, after all, who refused to call Islamic terror what it is — tied to the religion Islam.
Look at this, from PamelaGeller.com:
If you thought the debate surrounding the phrase “Islamic terrorism” had ended with the departure of Barack Obama from the White House — think again.
President Donald Trump’s choice of national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, has once again tried to sidestep the connection between Islam and terror.
Some have even outright called McMaster an Islam apologist:

And now he may be gone.
From the Daily Mail:
D
onald Trump is planning to remove H.R. McMaster as national security adviser just days after firing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, in the latest shake up of his administration, officials say.
The president ‘now comfortable’ with firing US Army Lieutenant General McMaster, who he never really got on with, sources told the Washington Post. He is even discussing potential replacements, although he’s reportedly willing to take his time to avoid humiliating the respected general.
However, the White House has hit back at the claims, with Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeting: ‘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 tweeted a similar denial in December, amid rumors he was planning to fire Tillerson.
He branded the speculation ‘fake news’ saying ‘he’s not leaving and while we disagree on certain subjects, (I call the final shots) we work well together and America is highly respected again!’
On Tuesday, Trump fired Tillerson from his role as the secretary of state in a tweet. The president reportedly always disliked Tillerson, and has already moved to install his own ally, CIA Director Mike Pompeo, in the job.
The following day, he named conservative TV analyst Larry Kudlow as economic adviser, after Gary Cohn quit over trade disagreements.
Staffers are reportedly now terrified who is going to be next on the chopping block.
And Trump did nothing to allay those fears on Thursday when he hinted that there would be more shake ups to come.
‘There will always be change,’ the president told reporters. ‘And I think you want to see change. I want to also see different ideas.’
One White House aide worried aloud to theAxios news website on Wednesday that Trump is running ‘the most toxic working environment on the planet.’
‘Usually tough times bring people together. But right now this atmosphere is ripping people apart. There’s no leadership, no trust, no direction and this point there’s very little hope,’ the aide said.
The Post reports that some in the White House are reluctant to oust McMaster, a three-star general, as they want to show that people can serve in Trump’s administration without it damaging their careers or reputation.
They have urged the president to delay pushing the security adviser out until he’s promoted to four-star rank or has a cushy alternative role lined up.
However, Trump already appears to be considering his alternatives and has reportedly already spoken with John Bolton, a very conservative defense hawk and former United Nations ambassador under George W. Bush, about replacing McMaster – a three-star general who has already spoken with the Pentagon about a return to active duty.
Other potential candidates could include Keith Kellogg, the chief of staff of the National Security Council.
Yet Trump denies a mass exodus from his administration, calling such news reports ‘very false.’
Trump has been frustrated by stories that project as many as four senior officials following McMasters, Cohn and Tillerson out the door.
‘They wrote a story about staff changes today that was very false,’ Trump said, without singling out any news outlet. ‘We made a wonderful change. I think Mike Pompeo is going to be an incredible secretary of state.’
‘I’ve gotten to know a lot of people over the last year … so there will always be change, but very little.’
‘It was a very false story, a very exaggerated and false story,’ the president added.
But the Post reports that Trump appears to enjoy watching his subordinates battle it out for his approval.
‘I like conflict. I like having two people with different points of view,’ Trump said last week. ‘I like watching it, I like seeing it, and I think it’s the best way to go.’
He allegedly has been fueling some of the ousting rumors, musing to other staffers who he thinks would be best to fill a certain role.
One very public firing, which sent a ripple of panic through the administration, was that of Trump’s personal aide and body man, John McEntee.
McEntee was marched out the White House on Tuesday after he came under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security for serious financial crimes and his security clearance was revoked.
‘Everybody fears the perp walk,’ a senior White House official said. ‘If it could happen to Johnny, the president’s body guy, it could happen to anybody.’
But for some staffers, the situation has become so ridiculous, they have been cracking jokes or even betting on who will be next out of the White House.
Sources say attorney General Jeff Sessions, Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin, and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly could all be primed to exit the administration.
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s name is circulating as a possible replacement for Sessions, who has incurred the president’s wrath for more than a year because he recused himself from an investigation about possible collusion between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign.
As a former state attorney general who had nothing to do with the campaign itself, Pruitt wouldn’t be constrained from getting directly involved.
‘Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job, and I would have picked somebody else,’ Trump told The New York Times last summer, adding that the decision was ‘extremely unfair’ to him as president.
Shulkin, the lone Obama administration holdover in Trump’s Cabinet, has ethics problems and may be pushed out any day now. Energy Secretary Rick Perry, a former U.S. Air Force pilot, says he’s not interested in a lateral move to take over that agency.
White House budget chief Mick Mulvaney and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy have been publicly floated as potential successors to Kelly.
This week the president hired CNBC financial commentator Larry Kudlwo to be his chief economic adviser, replacing Cohn.
He also named CIA Director Mike Pompeo as the new secretary of state, filling the hole created by a presidential tweet on Tuesday morning.
Gina Haspel, the CIA’s deputy director, will become the first woman to lead the spy agency once Pompeo makes his transition.
Others at risk could be Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, who has come under fire for his spending, after splashing $31,000 on a dining room set for his office; Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, criticized for his taxpayer funded first-class travel and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, whose agency spent $139,000 on new office doors.
The staff turnover in Trump’s White House has proceeded at a historic pace.
Just 14 months after Inauguration Day, more than 20 senior administration aides have already quit, or been fired or reassigned to other jobs.

He should have never been appointed from day one. His views on Islam are identical to Barack Hussein Obama’s. Trump messed up on this one.
You bet he did!!! This is one big f-ck up by Trump.
so he was a “token”muslim
POTUSVSG Trump has done well – considering the deck stacked against him.
That said, he would have been better off had he accepted the fact that the Left is the Enemy. And that includes the Establishment claiming to be Republicans as well as the Demokkkrats.
Trump also limited his choices to those vetted by Left-dominated systems. And unfortunately that includes the military’s top brass who were selected as much for Political Reasons as for any other reason.
What’s impressive is the President’s ability to grow and make changes. Hopefully this will not lead to a defeat in 2018 – which likely would result in his impeachment – which would further constrain his agenda. No one paying attention would abandon the POTUSVSG now, and we have to make sure our grassroots are as strong as we can get them to be.
McMaster hired Susan Rice’s former aide at the NSA as his aide.
Eric Ciaramella, who worked closely with Susan Rice while at NSC, was recently promoted to be H.R. McMaster’s personal aide. Ciaramella will have unfettered access to McMaster’s conversations with foreign leaders.
Did Ciaramella help draft Susan Rice’s anti-Trump talking points before the Inauguration.?
A letter from H.R. McMaster said Susan Rice will keep her top-secret security clearance.
Susan Rice ordered surveillance of Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign aides as part of the Hussein Obama political intelligence operation. ..
Susan Rice said traitor / deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl served “with honor and distinction.” ..
I hope Jeff Flake — the self-described “rarest of species” — stays in the spotlight as a high-profile example of who the Never Trumpers are and that it is personal pique that motivates them; as opposed to Trump, who is driven by a classic, consuming, patriotic love of country, worthy of Gen. George Washington.
Agreed. If Flake considers himself such a glamorpuss, might I suggest a nose job as a starting point?
Gen. Mike Flynn has to receive a full pardon, along with Paul Manafort, et al, and then reinstated as National Security Advisor.
Good, as the swamp is drained, more creatures will be exposed. It is absolutely essential to eliminate all of obimbo’s planted minions from any position of influence.
There is a story circulating that Tillerson was on the commode taking a dump when he got his termination call from General Kelly.
Very appropriate.
The dumper got dumped…..
Fact : Longer Media speculates longer Master will stay on the job ! Trump hates his enemies (Media) out guessing him!
Master is a pro-jihadi scumbag after spending years working with Muslim funded think tanks he is part of their mafia.
He can manage the fecal diversity restaurants https://tinyurl.com/yc87nbvr
That is safest option for him and his Lovely Muslims. LOL !
One less barbarian holding the gate open.
Trump should just get it over with-no need to give McMaster a dignified exit, he is an Obama holdover who is highly sympathetic with the enemy-what is that called during a time of war? And ofc put John Bolton in his place.
It’s too bad we couldn’t get Gen Flynn back since he was probably the best informed on Islam in the govt. The Left knew who would be a threat to Islam which is why they got rid of Flynn, Gorka, Bannon and others. Hopefully Trump fixes the damage he unwittingly allowed to happen.
I really don’t want another GW Bush who’s clueless on Islam and calls it peaceful-we had that for almost 20 years while muslims have been bombing all over the world. Hopefully Trump can show he had some inkling of the threat we all face.
Muslum collaborator == traitor to the free world.
As if Muslims are not bad enough but collaborators are even worse and their are still plenty to be pulled from the swamp. But Mr. Trump is keeping his promise, he is extracting them one by one.
Trump only has two years left he better get on the ball!
good
McMaster is a Soros plant.
So he’s gone.

Pisslamic sympathizers are traitors and they need to go. Don’t give a F- who you are, you need to go.
F- pisslam.
McMaster has to go…………..he is NOT whom people think he is. When Trump hired him, traitorous McMaster started firing all those loyal to Trump (those that informed the Trump administration of the dangers of Islam and Radical Islamic terrorism)…I’ll be glad to see that bald headed idiot go.
Re: McMaster: In 2005, then-Colonel H.R. McMaster led the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment (3rd ACR) in the largest of these offensives, Operation Restoring Rights. His reputation as a brilliant military strategist rests largely on the results of that one battle. Given the widespread support for McMaster in the media and Washington establishment, it is ironic that current reporting largely fails to mention this battle or McMaster’s central role in it. McMaster’s widely-hyped strategic acumen has been called into question by high-level military sources with personal knowledge of his conduct in the field. These sources spoke with me on condition of anonymity. McMaster rests his laurels on the counter-insurgency strategy he claims won the Battle of Tal Afar, Iraq. But sources say McMaster ignored counter-insurgency experts and that his reckless leadership killed between 70 and 85* Americans and almost lost the battle. The battle, the sources say, was won only through a valiant rescue mission during which most of those casualties occurred.*
To paraphrase the late “Bum” Phillips on football coaches, “There is two kinds of WH staffers, them that’s been fired and them that’s gonna be.” Trump is merely staffing things with those willing to carry out his agenda instead of a bunch of freelancers.
The story I read is that McMaster was hired on the recommendation of John McCain. Why Trump would listen to McCain is anybody’s guess.
McMaster thinks there is no connection between Islam and Isis. That’s the kind of guy we need in the White House inner circle.
islamic terrorism existed long before ISIS and if ISIS disappeared tomorrow islamic terrorism wouldn’t.
The modern states of Israel and India have endured 70 years of non-stop islamic terrorism on the Indian sub-continent that terrorism has included acts of genocide.
Good riddance. It, leaking muslim lovin` generous mcmasters, should be on the Iranian Cabinet.
McMaster = “Trump cant ban islam”
“During the Gulf War in 1991 he was a captain commanding Eagle Troop of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment at the Battle of 73 Easting.[11] During that battle, though significantly outnumbered and encountering the enemy by surprise as McMaster’s lead tank crested a dip in the terrain, the nine tanks of his troop destroyed twenty-eight Iraqi Republican Guard tanks[12] without loss in twenty-three minutes.[13]”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._R._McMaster
What kind of Republican Guard tanks did they destroy? T-55’s? Did the action happen at night? Or at long range?
In WW2, one King Tiger tank took out all the vehicles in a US Army convoy — but only because it had the high ground, superior armor, superior position, superior range and a much better main gun than all the Sherman tanks escorting the convoy. As a matter of fact the Tiger tank only left the field of battle because it was running out of ammo for its main gun.
BTW, Benedict Arnold, before he betrayed the US revolutionary war government, was a GENERAL in the revolutionary army.
It’s quite a famous action and I’ve seen a documentary on the TV.

I would guess McMasters has been fooled by the Islam lite approach favoured by the taquiyya strategy of jihad.
I doubt he’s a traitor but that doesn’t mean he isn’t …
The T-72 is an ancient tank design that was first produced in 1971. The T-72 Ural main battle
tank was developed as a cheaper and more reliable, however less
capable alternative to the
T-64.
“Iraqis were fielding export
downgraded models of T-72s with thinner, lower quality previous
generation composite armor, FCS that weren’t really much better than
T-62s (active IR searchlight and analog rangefinder) and ammunition that
was long obsolete with the BM-8. problem made even worse by Iraqi
attempts to reverse-engineer the tank with non-military grade steel on
their Asad Babils, therefore basically making it even more of a death
trap. They were facing Abrams and Challengers that had full complement
of composite armor, thermal sight and passive night sights, better ammo
and advanced computer-based gunnery systems enabling accurate shots way
beyond the effective range of Iraq’s T-72”
Impressive stuff.
If the people of Myanmar had ventilated McBastard’s head I would’ve celebrated. He’s a muslum collaborator and thus a traitor.
