In the wake of President Trump's firing of National Security Adviser John Bolton, it has been revealed that Trump made overtures to Bolton's predecessor H.R. McMaster over the past several weeks going as far as to say that he misses him. Trump certainly didn't appreciate McMaster in the 513 days he served him.
But now that Trump sees McMaster in a new light one must wonder if he intends to bring him back into the fold. After all, who the hell else is going to want the job? If Trump does give McMaster a second chance he would take a page out of the book of another bombastic New York business icon - the late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. In his 30 plus years at the helm of the Bronx Bombers, Steinbrenner hired and fired the late Billy Martin five times. Bob Lemon, Gene Michael and Lou Piniella also managed the Yankees in multiple tenures during Steinbrenner's reign.
Given the litany of departures from the White House I'm surprised Trump hasn't pulled a Steinbrenner yet.
