If this appointment happens I'm very pessimistic that the US won't be in a war with Iran.
Sure Trump could completely ignore the Director of National Intelligence but they will leak their stovepiped (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stovepiping)"intelligence" to neocon outlets (remember Tenet/Bush/Iraq) and Trump will be painted to look weak which his ego cannot stand and they will take advantage of that like they are for the Iran deal.
This is a litmus test for me. If he gets in I might consider just give up paying attention to politics and just invest in oil to take advantage of the spikes that will happen during the war. Fleitz appointment is a strong "Buy" signal. He's part of the "shadow cabinet" that Bolton takes with him everywhere he goes that I posted an article about (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?535966-NYT-Meet-the-Members-of-the-%91Shadow-N-S-C-%92-Advising-John-Bolton&highlight=Fleitz).
Disgusting.
