To no one’s surprise, Mike Waltz has the distinction of being the first prominent Trump appointee to be removed from his job. In this case, however, Trump has given him a different job, perhaps in a futile effort to convince us that he doesn’t hire complete incompetents.
Hey, at least Waltz lasted longer than Michael Flynn. That’s something.
If history is any guide–and it usually is–Trump will appoint an establishment type to play a good cop, and the world will breathe a sigh of relief. That will be a mistake, because the good cops answer to the bad cop.
