Yes, that and to provide cover for bullshit like removing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff et al from the National Security Council to make room for a political hack.

He's proven that beyond any reasonable doubt well before parking his ass in the White House. I never liked the guy. He always seemed to symbolize everything that's wrong with the USA. I loathe him for at least two decades by now.

Hail Trump!
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

More, in my case. The politicization of the NSC would be bad enough, regardless of which President did it. But Bannon?!? This does not bode well at all.

And don't forget that most of the heads of the State Department have been fired, or resigned, it's still unclear which (Though it appears they were fired also). And the rest of of them are being told to resign if they plan to resist anything.

They are trying to dismantle the checks and balances that keep this from being an autocracy.

Right. That political hack Bannon - who has zero relevant military experience - being installed in a position on the NSC that effectively outranks the CJCS - a four star general.

This is absolute batshit insanity, folks.

I actually heard someone on TV try to defend this move by pointing out that Bannon had been a Navy officer, as if that gave him the bona fides to sit in at this level.

At least the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence will 'get to' sit in when their experience is considered relevant.  Rolleyes

Insanity, indeed.
