Lockheed Martin CEO for the Gulf States
Sounds more like someone in the swamp that needs to be drained.
I have had the feeling that ltg Flynn may not be through. He has flushed out some renegades in the intelligence community and that is a very good thing to have happened.
Let’s see what develops...
Lousy vetting by the Trump team...I am suspecting the “mole” Priebus
I was leery of his ties to the Rand Corporation. But why would he go public with his reasons in public like this? Sounds like somewhat of a loose cannon.
Allen West would be perfect for the job.
I didn’t want Harward anyway. I wanted Giuliani, a prosecuter, to get the liars out first for cause.
Fox business just reported that he declined due to family concerns. (paraphase)
You know what they say, it doesn’t hurt to ask.
What’s the worse anyone can do, say no?
Believe it when I see it.
Not a loss. Being in the foxhole is not for the faint of heart.
Trump should say, “I made a mistake,” and bring Flynn back.
I advise strongly against that.
Petreaus' allegiences are suspect and he's already put himself in a compromising situation. I am certain there is someone more trustworthy that can do a good job.
actually, the man was rejected because he insisted on bringing all his own staff
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.
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.
Ummm, folks, the guy works for Lockheed-Martin. It’s possible Trump’s Twitter attack on Lockheed for it’s “out-of-control costs” in a tweet made some enemies at Lockheed. Not to mention all the faithful Lockheed Investors who lost money as the stock slumped. Some options traders lost their shirt on that day, thanks to Trump.
I’m all for what Trump has been doing, but sometimes his mouthing off on Twitter is careless and could be done more diplomatically.
For example tweeting his opinion that “the pharmacy companies are getting away with MURDER” was truly careless and non-productive!! Thousands of investors in Biotech lost tons of money because of Trump’s tweet. That doesn’t enamor people to Trump.
Instead, he could have tweeted something more benign but to the point: “Some say drug pricing is way too high, so we have to evaluate options on how to lower drug prices.”
Trump needs to consider the ramifications of his careless tweets and in this case, it’s likely that this is part of the reason Robert Harward is backing out.
I was concerned he’d had Bush affiliations. I let that go, because of the trust Mattis has in him.
Why was this even announced if Mr. Harward was uninterested in the job?
Zero Hedge’s tone sounds very anti-Trump.
When did they turn against him?
