Thought Trump was rich and could not be bought by donors? Not clear if mega Trump donor Sheldon Adelson wants General Kelly out too and bring in respected neocon John Bolton.
This all on heels of Tillerson firing yesterday and a torture implicated official being named to lead CIA.
Anyhow, good news is that anti-nepotism champion Jarvanka is still there leading the mideast destabilization peace plan.
Trump decides to remove National Security Advisor McMaster: WaPo
Jacob Pramuk Updated 1 Hour Ago
President Donald Trump has decided to remove White House national security advisor H.R. McMaster from the administration, the Washington Post reported on Thursday. The Post said the president is "now comfortable" removing McMaster, but is taking his time in announcing the decision so as to not humiliate the Army lieutenant general and to ensure a smooth transition. The news outlet cited five sources with knowledge of the president's plans.
Why Adelson is backing the campaign against McMaster

It should be noted that in August, gambling tycoon Sheldon Adelson, one of the largest donors to Trump and the Republican Party, and a strong supporter of Israel's right-wing, also mentioned a conversation he had with Catz about her meeting with McMaster.
Adelson wrote an email on that subject to Mort Klein, the president of the Zionist Organization of America, one of the most right-wing groups in the U.S. Jewish community. In that email, Adelson told Klein that he supports a campaign launched by ZOA calling for McMaster's resignation, due to his positions regarding Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, the Iran nuclear deal and other Middle East policy issues.
Adelson explained that he was at first skeptical about ZOA's campaign against McMaster, but had changed his mind after speaking to Safra Catz. The conversation with Catz, Adelson wrote, "enlightened me quite a bit." He added that following his conversation with Catz, "I now support your effort" to get McMaster out of the White House.
The ZOA campaign against McMaster took place at the same time that far-right websites and Twitter accounts in the U.S. spread stories alleging that McMaster had expressed anti-Israeli opinions and yelled at Israeli officials.
The allegations against McMaster began appearing a short time after he fired a number of people from the National Security Council who were appointed by his predecessor, Michael Flynn, and who were considered close to Trump's extremist political adviser, Steve Bannon. Over the weekend it was revealed Israel's ambassador to the U.S., Ron Dermer, hosted Bannon for dinner over the summer. Dermer called Bannon "a great friend of Israel."
One of those fired by McMaster was Ezra Cohen, a former intelligence officer who was appointed by Flynn to a senior position in the NSC. McMaster tried to get rid of Cohen, whom he considered not qualified for his position, for a number of months, but was reportedly blocked by Bannon. He finally managed to fire Cohen only after John Kelly became Trump's chief of staff in the summer. In September, the website "Just Security" reported that Cohen landed a job at Oracle after being dismissed from the White House by McMaster.

It is not clear if Kelly is also being forced out soon, he reportedly cut "top secret" intel access of first son-in-law who incidentally had shared bed with Israeli PM Netanyahu.

Kushner is asking people to advocate on his behalf. McMaster is lobbying Mike Pompeo and Dan Coats to support Kelly. But in the end, it’s all up to Trump.
