Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : A former Republican congressman from Florida, with an unmistakable track record for sycophantic Trump support -- he even co-sponsored a bill to rename Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C., after Trump -- Waltz was positioned to be the White House national security adviser whom the president could finally count on.
65% : Finally, there's another pattern of note: After Trump won a second term, he tapped three sitting members of the U.S. House for his team: Florida's Gaetz, Florida's Mike Waltz and New York's Elise Stefanik.
60% : As recently as Wednesday, during the latest White House Cabinet meeting, national security adviser Mike Waltz seemed to go out of his way to offer effusive praise for Donald Trump.
55% : As the story takes shape, it's worth appreciating the fact that when it comes to White House national security advisers -- technically, the assistant to the president for national security affairs (APNSA) -- it's fair to say that Trump hasn't had a lot of success.
51% : That coincided with a Politico report on a private presidential meeting in which top officials, including Vice President JD Vance, told Trump to "consider showing him [Waltz] the door.
50% : In the days that followed, there were multiple reports that the Signal chat about a military operation in Yemen was not the first of its kind and that Waltz also allegedly used a private email account to conduct government business.
24% : Publicly, the White House backed Waltz, but NBC News reported that Trump had privately "expressed frustration" with his aide.
23% : H. R. McMaster lasted about a year, though Trump eventually came to hold the retired general in contempt.
12% : He was followed by John Bolton, whom Trump grew to hate even more.
