Fox gabber is booted as top NSC aide

A SHAKEUP at President Trump’s National Security Council continued Sunday as K.T. McFarland, a deputy national security adviser, was shown the door.

McFarland (photo), 65, was asked to step down after less than three months on the job. The move came just days after Stephen Bannon, Trump’s chief White House strategist and the former head of right-wing Breitbart News, was also removed from his NSC role as part of a broader reorganization.

McFarland, who failed in a bid for the Republican nomination for Senate in New York in 2006, has been named U.S. ambassador to Singapore, The Associated Press reported.

The former Fox News Channel commentator had been brought to the NSC as a deputy under Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser. Flynn was forced to quit in February after admitting he misled Vice President Pence about discussions he’d had with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. regarding sanctions. PRESIDENT TRUMP was quick to criticize his predecessor for golfing, but he’s hit the links 16 times more than Barack Obama did in his first few months in office.

Obama’s total in his first 100 days was — zero. He golfed 333 times in his two terms as President, according to CBS News, but refrained from lifting a club until April 26, 2009.

Trump was spotted golfing at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Sunday, making it his 16th trip to the links since taking office Jan. 20, according to reports.

Wearing a white polo shirt and a red cap, the President left for the club around 9:30 a.m., according to White House pool reports.

He was also seen playing rounds there on Saturday. Trump’s recent outings came after he hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Like Obama, the current commander-in-chief is an avid golfer. Trump regularly blasted Obama for golfing while in office, including a time when he criticized the former President for hitting the golf course instead of consulting with lawmakers about Syria.
