The bare-knuckle campaign to remove National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster from the White House is about to get much uglier, according to Jonathan Swan.
Outside forces opposed to McMaster are going to allege he has a drinking problem, according to sources outside the Trump administration familiar with the anti-McMaster campaign. The controversial nationalist Mike Cernovich, who has an inside track on the anti-McMaster campaign, teased the alcohol attack in an Internet video with Alex Jones of the website Infowars. Anti-McMaster forces believe this attack will harm his standing with the president, who is a teetotaler.
Also important: Its unclear how long Bannon and McMaster, who are ideological foes, can both work in the same White House Bannon has told associates he has nothing to do with the hits on McMaster, calling them a spontaneous reaction against the globalist from Trumps nationalist base. But senior White House officials dont believe him.

(1,009 posts)and they always accuse others of what they do (trump et al are so uncreative). Bannon is the alcoholic. Sane people know this.

(70,726 posts)seeing McMASTER on the yak shows this morning, he is a real weasel, one of those military kiss-ups. He's got this rep of being genius/brilliant, but his answers and demeanor show him to be a weasel/kiss-up/etc.

(7,637 posts)With the current situation there is no way Trump would get rid of him. He needs him to deal with NK. Mcmaster is backed by Kelly, Mattis, Tillerson, etc..
Bannon is already under fire for leaks and with the events that took place in charlottesville Trump wont want to back him. He will get rid of him to give the appearance he is distancing himself from white supremacists.
