It has been a day of turmoil for President Trump, who after finding himself on the defensive following Monday's resignation by Mike Flynn (which may or may not lead to legal charges) and allegedly getting snubbed by Vladimir Putin, now has another potential crisis on his hands: according to both the FT and CBS, Trump's pick for National Security Advisor, Robert Harward - a senior executive at Lockheed Martin - has turned down the President's offer, citing "obvious dysfunctionality" in the administration.
According to the FT, it is not yet a complete rejection as "Trump is trying to convince his preferred candidate to succeed Michael Flynn as national security adviser to change his mind after the retired admiral tapped for the role told the US president that he could not accept the White House position."

That’s right, when you’re going through hell, you don’t stop to look around, you just keep marching to the exit.
BOO-yah!
Okay, thanks.
I know he was in the list, but I am pretty sure he was not in the picture I saw. He was a big burley looking guy with dark hair.
More leaks planted by the deep state, who are leaking the contents of phone conversations of Trump and the Vice Admiral. This is getting quite annoying, because the leakers are still leaking.
See post 17 for my (arguably weak) line of thought when I posted that “bad week” remark.
Honestly, I was just thinking of how the media is gong to spin this.
I see your point but bring in trusted individuals doesn’t necessarily mean they are all ass-kissers.

You're FOS. And yes, you're easy to spot. No problem.
actually, the man was rejected because he insisted on bringing all his own staff
great point
Look people, it’s hardly a “crisis” just because someone turned down an offer. Not to mention if Harwood thinks there’s “obvious dysfunctionality” in the Trump administration, then he’s a fool that believes the tsunami of fake news being delivered by CNN, WaPo, NYT and the rest, and there’s no damn way he should be anywhere close to President Trump.
I see that, in your later comments....
...see, but if you watched the press conference (and I advise you do, it was the best press conference in the history of our Republic), you will come out of it with a few takeaways.
One of them will be that it really does not matter what the press says any more, because Donald J. Trump will simply come out and destroy their petty and peculiar worldviews, and....
... he will enjoy doing it, and smile the entire time, and....
... the press will still make crazy stuff up anyways, no matter what he does, and....
... he will mock them mercilessly for it, and...
... The American people will cheer him on and ally up with him.
It was amazing to see. Truly amazing. After a week of wondering if the press was going to be able to impeach DJT, I came away realizing that this guy can "out-Reagan" Ronald Reagan.
Do yourself a favor, sit down right now and google up the press conference. It's *that* important.
I said upthread you were wrong. Sorry, that’s not accurate.
You’re a liar.
I'm at a loss of why it wasn't allowed, if that's the case?
Stupid to telegraph unwilling appointees. Fire whomever did it.
Ok, I’m not John Bolton’s biggest fan...Not not not...But at this point, this is just advisory...Nominate Bolton.
You’re a liar.
Choices have consequences.

14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. NIV
Trump following his Daughter's LGBT "advise" and continuing with Gaga-bidness as usual won't cut it.
