Eliminating National Security Advisor Michael Flynn in office less than four weeks delivered a major body blow to Trumps administration.



Trump sacking him was poor judgment, a self-inflicted wound on his presidency, a pro-Hillary neocon victory, leaving himself vulnerable to more attacks on his legitimacy.



Instead of supporting his national security point man responsibly, he surrendered to forces wanting his presidency undermined, a shameful counterproductive act.



Ostensibly it was over Flynns pre-inauguration phone conversation with Russias US ambassador, failing to explain sanctions were discussed, but doing no harm - not making himself vulnerable to Moscow blackmail as media scoundrels claim.



Hillarys deep state supporters, including mainstream presstitutes, are celebrating after scoring a big victory.



The day before Flynns sacking, The New York Times headlined Mental Health Professionals Warn About Trump, claiming his speech and actions makes him incapable of serving safely as president - an accusation no responsible mental health professional would make without firsthand evaluation.



Pro-Hillary, Trump hater Times columnist Charles Blow accused him of wanting to be an emperor, not president, saying he wants to grind the opposition underfoot.



The neocon, CIA-connected Washington Post called upheaval standard operating procedure inside the White House, saying:



He failed to fill such key posts as White House communications director, while sub-Cabinet positions across agencies and scores of ambassadorships around the globe still sit empty.



Fact: WaPo failed to explain Democrats continue obstructing confirmation of Trump officials, slowing the process instead of proceeding responsibly.



Fact: Various posts dont sit empty. Holdover Obama officials temporarily fill them until Trump appointees are confirmed and assume their duties.



WaPo: The chaos and competing factions that were a Trump trademark in business and campaigning now are starting to define his presidency.



Fact: All new administrations have growing pains. Running the nation is no simple task, far more complicated than what any incumbent experienced in other positions.



Fact: WaPo, The New York Times and television news were Trumps sharpest critics since announcing his presidential candidacy in June 2015 - continuing an unrelenting hateful drumbeat post-inauguration.



Justifiable criticism is warranted - almost entirely absent during Obamas disgraceful two terms, ignoring Hillarys record of high crimes.
