Donald Trump actually said...

"The President has begun getting frustrated with that. He's someone who is a free-wheeling, you know, president. He wants to do things his own way."

"The President told his Chief of Staff John Kelly earlier this week that he wanted McMaster gone and wanted finalists to interview to become National Security Adviser."

"The President called the reporting earlier on this, from days ago, fake news about McMaster."

"The question has been whether he would be put somewhere, deployed somewhere, in an effort to get a fourth star or whether he would go somewhere else."
