A top official of the National Security Council was fired last month after arguing in a memo that President Trump is under sustained attack from subversive forces both within and outside the government who are deploying Maoist tactics to defeat President Trump’s nationalist agenda.
His dismissal marks the latest victory by National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster in the ongoing war within Trump’s White House between those who believe that the president is under threat from dark forces plotting to undermine him, and those like McMaster who dismiss this as conspiratorial thinking.
Rich Higgins, a former Pentagon official who served in the NSC’s strategic-planning office as a director for strategic planning, was let go on July 21. Higgins’s memo describes supposed domestic and international threats to Trump’s presidency, including globalists, bankers, the “deep state,” and Islamists. The memo characterizes the Russia story as a plot to sabotage Trump’s nationalist agenda. It asserts that globalists and Islamists are seeking to destroy America. The memo also includes a set of recommendations, arguing that the problem constitutes a national-security priority.
“Globalists and Islamists recognize that for their visions to succeed, America, both as an ideal and as a national and political identity, must be destroyed,” the memo warns. It argues that this has led “Islamists [to] ally with cultural Marxists,” but that in the long run, “Islamists will co-opt the movement in its entirety.”

This is the Bannon type of wingnut-thinking as opposed to the racist Sessions wingnut thinking or the Paul Ryan amoral/Ayn Rand/greed wingnut thinking.

Rich Higgins, a hog-like Bannon-styled wingnut.

Maybe, just maybe, WE'RE the people who are REALLY trying to "Make America Great Again'. Trump is the person in full destruction mode, not the protestors and those in the resistance. We're the Americans trying to prevent our country's destruction by a vain, ignorant ass clown. 
Some people just can't see the forest for the trees.
I mean, isn't that the real reason? The guy's memo was just an excuse.
