In this role McFarland declared that “global Islamist jihad is at war with all of Western Civilizatio.” She blamed Obama for terroisism saying “To me, it’s a dereliction of duty. What was this president doing? Well, he was playing a lot of golf this summer, but he clearly was not attending to the defense of the United States.” She called for Bradley Manning’s (not using “Chelsea”) execution if he (she) was found guilty of making the leaks.[36] In 2016 McFarland applauded the Brexit vote in approval of the diminution of trans-European union and wrote that Vladimir Putin deserved a Nobel Peace Prize for his actions during the Syrian Civil War.

Priebus and White House staff secretary Rob Porter have tried to implement a system to manage and document the paperwork Trump receives. While some see the new structure as a power play by a weakened chief of staff — “He’d like to get a phone log too,” cracked one senior White House adviser — others are more concerned about the unfettered ability of Trump’s family-member advisers, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, to ply the president with whatever paperwork they want in the residence sight unseen.
