The ‘neoconning’ of the Trump foreign policy team
While the left-wing media spends hours upon hours talking the chaos of the revolving door in the Trump White House as more and more people depart, I think a bigger issue is how the foreign policy team is molding into a version of Bush White House.

Mr Trump let Rex Tillerson go from his post of heading up the State Department–the country’s top diplomat and replaced him with the Iraq war loving, growth of the surveillance state promoter, former Congressman and CIA director, Mike Pompeo.
This move and the nomination of CIA veteran and waterboarder, Gina Haspel has tickled the likes of Hugh Hewitt (no surprise), Ben Shapiro (no surprise) and even Glenn Beck in their sweet spot.
If this doesn’t send a chill down the spine of the lover of liberty and the non-interventionist/4th amendment advocate, it truly appears that the nomination of warmonger, John Bolton is ever more inevitable upon the departure of HR McMaster, if this does happen (Again, Beck thought this would be a great move).
While the likes of Hewitt, Shapiro and Beck think this is the way to go, some of us see this as a wrong turn Donald Trump is steering the US foreign policy.
Fortunately, their is opposition to these individuals in the Senate, so we’ll see where it goes. Gotta hope for the best.
