Robert O'Brien is the new National Security Advisor
"I am pleased to announce that I will name Robert C. O'Brien, currently serving as the very successful Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs at the State Department, as our new National Security Advisor. I have worked long & hard with Robert. He will do a great job!" Trump tweeted.

Trump, who is known to respond well to flattery, has recounted praise from O'Brien in tweets and in conversations, suggesting that the new national security adviser also knows how to handle the President and his mercurial moods.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday, Trump again highlighted O'Brien's praise of him in securing the release of hostages.
"Robert O'Brien said, 'Trump is the greatest hostage negotiator in history.' He happens to be right," Trump said, according to pool reporters. "We are 38-0. 38-0, ask Robert. In fact, I had never heard the term. Robert O'Brien said Donald Trump is the greatest hostage negotiator of all time. 38-0. At the time he said it we were 29-0. We are 38-0."

So the reason O'Brien got the job is because he was able to fellate Trump better than the other candidates.
