| 2017-02-19 |
| [Viginia Pilot] WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- As he seeks to get his struggling administration back on track, President Donald Trump is interviewing at least four potential candidates to serve as his new national security adviser. White House spokesman Sean Spicer says that Trump will interview his acting adviser, retired Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg; a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton; Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster; and the superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen. Trump, who is spending the weekend at his private Palm Beach club, could potentially talk to a few others, Spicer said Saturday. Trump is also planning to talk with several foreign leaders Sunday, and will have a health care strategy meeting. Trump is working to replace ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn. Trump's first choice -- retired Vice Adm. Robert Harward -- turned down the offer. Biography |

| #4 Donald himself said Flynn didn't handle the briefing well enough. I assume that means Flynn either forgot something he should not have or gave it the wrong weight. |

| #3 As he seeks to get his struggling administration back on track... He's got to first beat down Obama and his OFA, lefty hold-overs from previous administrations efforts to derail him, put out lefty arsonists' brush fires, and neuter the MSM. It's only been four weeks. He's actually done pretty well (although a bit unartful) at time despite reports of his early demise. The Flynn thing was handled badly and sent a bad message. Maybe he should reconsider Flynn and say "F*ck you" to everyone. |
