    1. It is a war against Trump because they know they cant control him as they did Obama.

      Some “dreamers” (Not my President) types still living in denial cant function after loosing the election so they are the problem.

      The shrinks will be busy for some time CHOOKY.

      The global cabal MSM is all bank/corporate owned and want to rule so the cycle needs to be broken and trump may help here.

    ‘President Trump taps General H.R. McMaster as national security adviser’

    …Gen. McMaster is a currently serving career Army officer. He served in the Persian Gulf War and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and has the nickname, “The Iconoclast General.”

    In 1997, McMaster wrote a book entitled “Dereliction of Duty,” which was critical of military officers in the Vietnam War for not challenging President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara over the White House’s Vietnam strategy.

    A West Point graduate, McMaster has a PhD in US history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has also served as a senior consulting fellow at the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London.

    In an April 2015 speech at the University of South Florida, McMaster encouraged the US to “adapt” its concept of war, away from “a narcissistic approach” that “define[s] war only in relation to us,” toward one of “a continuous interaction with complex environments and determined enemies,”according to the Tampa Bay Times.

    “The military-industrial complex may represent a greater threat to us than at any time in history,” McMaster added, referencing the ominous farewell address by President Dwight Eisenhower.

    The general’s concern centered around the Department of Defense’s financial resources being taken for granted by profiteers, including not just weapons manufacturers but think tanks as well.

    “And so where are these investments going in defense right now? They are going into areas that involve really big ticket items, that preserves the large capital transfer to defense industries and continue to bolster employment,” he said, adding, “When you see studies that are produced about the future of war or studies that are produced about certain aspects of defense strategy, you ought to look to see who is funding it.”…
