So it begs the question why is he still there, or, is he still there because this is fake news?
I do not think Trump is in the dark.
I totally sgree. Mr. Trump is known for enjoying divergent opinions on his staff. The best decision is always based on the most available information.
Trump can deal with McMasters mindset. And besides, McMasters is culling out those in his group that might actually agree with the President. Thus he is winnowing down to a tight little group of Never-Trumpers.
Nice to have them where you can keep your eye on them.
