| | Sixth, regarding RobS' edits of the second paragraph, Trump's bad hires cannot be blamed entirely on security clearance issues. In some cases, it was clearly due to him listening to bad advice. For example, if Rex Tillerson and H.R. McMaster could get security clearance, then Trump would've had no problem replacing them with like-minded individuals. But instead, he hired bottom-of-the-barrel people like Mike Pompeo and John Bolton. That doesn't happen due to a forced hand, no way. On a related note, the same advisers who recommended Bolton and Pompeo very likely were involved in Tillerson and McMaster being pushed out in the first place.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 14:29, February 14, 2023 (EST) | | Sixth, regarding RobS' edits of the second paragraph, Trump's bad hires cannot be blamed entirely on security clearance issues.
