Madelyn Dean - Trump Chooses H.R. McMaster as National Security Adviser
President Donald Trump has assigned General McMaster as National Security adviser in replacement of Michael T. Flynn. McMaster has no links to Mr. Trump and is thought to be less ideological in comparison to Flynn. He is considered one of the military’s most independent-minded officers, considered, at times, to the cost of his own career. From the start McMaster was considered better fit for the job with a 4 star rating and retirement. Although this seems a minor improvement no promises or even intentions have been made.
All of Donald Trumps appointees in office have been often appointed as favors or friends of Trump who merely puts them in office to back him up. This has built up and has caused concern from many Americans and sensible people still in office. Warren G Harding, a past president of the United States, relates in the way that he put his friends in office as well as all the scandals surrounding him and his presidency.
