The 'fine tuned machine' had a hiccup,

as one of Trump's appointees learned a valuable lesson. Shut up and do what you're told.
NSC official fired after reportedly criticizing Trump, aides. Craig Deare, recently appointed the U.S. National Security Council’s senior director for Western Hemisphere Affairs, was removed from the agency days after criticizing President Donald Trump and senior White House officials during a private event, said a person familiar with the decision. Deare supposedly claimed the agency was in 'disarray', and was promptly fired.

No word yet if The Donald pointed his finger at him, scowled and said, 'You're FIRED.'


Forget Kellyanne Conway’s “alternative facts” (once defined as “fiction”) or Stephen Bannon’s mandate for the media to “keep its mouth shut” (once defined as “Russian”). Those almost pale next to senior adviser Stephen Miller’s proclamation on “Face the Nation” that “the powers of the president … will not be questioned.” As comedian Seth Meyers observed, “The only way that statement could be more terrifying is if he yelled it in German.”
After 30 days, we already know our president confuses his ego-fed feelings for facts. And still goes vindictively ballistic over small slights. And loves to shake things up without knowing where the pieces will fall. If we find ourselves in a real crisis and must rely on this president’s word and judgment, how will we know that this time he’s got it right?
