national security advisor by the end of march. i know we re going to read this this story. trump decides to remove, there s always going to be change. there s this back and forth and i could be completely wrong here but reading between the lines and you look at one story after another, it looks like the chief of staff is leaking to reporters that mcmaster is on his way out and then the president of the united states is calling them in saying oh, wait, no, i like him. i like him. because you have what was it john roberts at fox coming out saying he is staying. he is staying. well, come on. the washington post is also reporting on the mood inside the white house in recent days saying it has quote, verged on mania as trump increasingly keeps his own counsel and senior aides struggle to determine between rumor and truth. they re anxious and nervous wondering what it may mean for
