Another TV personality has been added to President Donald Trump’s entourage. The former reality-TV star and obsessive Fox News Channel watcher tweeted Thursday afternoon that National Security Adviser No. 2, H.R. McMaster is out and will be replaced by Fox News analyst John Bolton.

TV News pundits had expected McMaster to be canned and Bolton to replace him, and yet, outside FNC they were taken by surprise, what with it not being Friday – aka Donald Trump’s Take Out The Trash Day.
Bolton, former U.S. Ambassador to the UN, is a bit of an unusual pick, having advocated long and loud for the Iraq War, which Trump savaged during his c
ampaign. On the other hand, Bolton is a Fox News regular and Trump obviously liked what he saw.
McMaster was Trump’s second National Security Adviser; Michael Flynn lasted only a few weeks before being fired.
Announcement came hours after Rex Tillerson gave his farewell address as Secretary of State, taking shots at Trump as he exited the stage. Tillerson, who’d also been fired by Twitter, told his staff/Trump that personal integrity was their most valuable commodity and once lost never regained. He also noted Washington is a really mean place.
Trump’s tweet.
I am pleased to announce that, effective 4/9/18, @AmbJohnBolton will be my new National Security Advisor. I am very thankful for the service of General H.R. McMaster who has done an outstanding job & will always remain my friend. There will be an official contact handover on 4/9.
