Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Trump ran through four national security advisers in his first term.
26% : Trump has been reluctant to take anything but symbolic action against Russia, though at times he has threatened on social media to impose sanctions and tariffs.
18% : Trump has been loath to fire anyone from Cabinet-level positions since he took office a second time, seeking to avoid the headlines about the chaos that engulfed his first term.
14% : Trump fired his first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, within four weeks of his inauguration in 2017, saying he did so because Flynn, a retired lieutenant general, had lied to Vice President Mike Pence about talks Flynn held with the Russian ambassador.
4% : And Waltz has been under siege by external allies of Trump for weeks, including far-right activist Laura Loomer, who prompted the president to have Waltz fire several National Security Council staff members for what she perceived as disloyalty to Trump.
