McMaster, have often vehemently disagreed with Trump on the issues.
Trump allies are already using their influence to warn him against tapping Hook, who is now serving as the U.S. special envoy for Iran under Pompeo. The day of Bolton’s dismissal, Tucker Carlson singled out Hook on his Fox News program, deriding him as an “unapologetic neocon” who has “undisguised contempt for Donald Trump.”
Since firing Lt. Gen. Michel Flynn, his first national security adviser, just weeks into the administration, the president has struggled to find foreign policy advisers who share his views. Flynn’s successor, H.R. McMaster, was a career military man who largely kept his political views under wraps, but Clashed with the president in both substance and style.
