Trump and company really need to stop the fear-mongering bullshit in order to support Trump's agenda.
The murder rate is not the highest in 47 years as Trump falsely claimed publicly; not by a very long shot. There was no Bowling Green Kentucky Massacre by Iraqi terrorists, as Kellyanne Conway thrice falsely claimed to media. There was no Atlanta terrorist attack, as Sean Spicer twice told the public. And Trump's claim that something terrible happened in Sweden last night due to their immigrant in-flow is also fiction (which he's now blaming on a FOX news report he recently saw). Ignorant and easily refutable lies which are becoming global punchlines.
On a more positive note.........while ousted NSA Adviser Michael Flynn and other members of the Trump campaign are being investigated by multiple Congressional committees in regards to possible Russian collusion, President Trump secured a replacement for Flynn.
From what little I know about him, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster is a straight-shooter with a lot of experience and he's well-respected. He's on active duty, so he reportedly could not refuse the appointment after the top two replacement candidates withdrew themselves from consideration. McMaster doesn't do drama, nor conspiracy theories, nor baseless inflammatory rhetoric -- much better for the country than Flynn, in my opinion.
