Trump must banish Bannon or his presidency is doomed
There
was some cosmic justice. After stringing along a slew of nominees for secretary
of state, ultimately humiliating Mitt Romney, President Trump got a dose of his
own medicine. The Post reports:
Retired Vice Adm. Robert
Harward has turned down President Trump’s offer to become his new national
security adviser, according to two people with knowledge of the decision.
Harward would have
replaced Michael Flynn, who announced his resignation late
Monday amid allegations that he discussed U.S. sanctions with a Russian
official before Trump took office and then misrepresented the content of that
conversation to Vice President Pence and other administration officials.
One factor in Harward’s
decision was that he couldn’t get a guarantee that he could select his own
staff, according to a person close to Trump with knowledge of the discussions.
No, it’s not normal for a high-level pick to turn down the
president — publicly.
