Craig Deare, a Donald Trump white house senior official appointee have been fired just a month after he was appointed to head the National Security Council’s Western Hemisphere division. Craig was fired because of his criticism of the Trump's administration about the rocky start with Mexico.
Craig was escorted out of the Executive building where he worked in Washington.
According to a White House official, Mr Craig is no longer with the NSC, and will return to his previously held position at the National Defence University.
The White House official pleaded anonymity, as the matter is not to be public, but according to current and former administration officials, his termination was linked to a speech on Wednesday the the Wilson centre, a Washington think tank.
Craig in the supposedly private speech criticised the Trump administration about his policies on Mexico, and their Latin America counterpart. Craig was frustrated as the current administration handles policies, and said that he was never consulted before the executive orders were signed.
Craig said that Donald Trump inner circle consisting of Steve Bannon, and his son-in-law did not consult with the NSC directorates to formulates its policies.
Craig Deare is not the only one outside of the loop, staffers at the state department have also expressed their frustration about how Trump inner circles take on diplomacy, with the current state visit of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Nobody from the state department was involved in the talks, except Jared Kushner, who had little or no diplomatic experience, and also had more responsibilities than the secretary of state, Rex Tillerson.
Craig allegedly also praised the daughter of the President, Ivanka Trump's look.
Craig Deare is the second senior official of the NSC to leave office under a week. Trump National security adviser also left his position after he was exposed to be discussing sanction with Russia, and lied about it to the Vice-president, Mike Pence.
Donald Trump has started to put smiles on the faces of the people of America after saving around 1900 jobs for the people of Indiana. The President-elect recently had tweeted he is negotiating with defence contractor United Technologies not to ship their plants to Mexico.
On Tuesday, Trump once again tweeted that the negotiations with Carrier is now successful, and they won't be moving to Mexico any longer.
Carrier is owned by defence contractor United Technologies and in February had announced it will close down two Indiana plants, a Carrier plant in Indianapolis employed 1400 people and another a United Technologies Electronic Controls plant in nearby Huntington, Indiana, that employs 700.
Though Carrier did not elaborate on the deal it struck with Donald Trump, the company via his twitter account had said it will no longer be moving to Mexico, after some talk with President-elect, Donald Trump.
The company had planned to move before the meeting with Donald Trump, as they believe moving away from the US will save them $65 million a year in labour costs.
The president elect, and vice president elect and also Indiana governor, Mike Pence, will be in Indiana on Thursday to announce the deal.
A university of Michigan professor of Economics, Justin Wolfers, said that the new deal for Carrier could set a bad precedent for other company by threatening to leave the US for Mexico.
The President-Elect of The U.S, Donald J. Trump shocks the world on November 8th after he was announced as the 45th president of the United State.
Speaking after the announcement, Donald Trump addressed the crowd of supporters waiting for his speech, and informed them that his opponent, Hillary Clinton has called to congratulate him on his winning the election.
Donald Trump said;
Now it's time for America to bind the wounds of division — have to get together, Trump told screaming supporters gathered at the New York Hilton. To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.
Though he had never held any political office before now, Donald Trump during his campaign in June 2015 said that "the establishment" and the government have all betrayed the American people with bad trade deals, bad immigration policies and a move toward a global economy that leaves the American people behind.
In his first tweet as President-elect, Donald Trump wrote;
Such a beautiful and important evening! The forgotten man and woman will never be forgotten again. We will all come together as never before.
The past 24 hours have been hell for Donald Trump and his campaign organization, after a video where he degrades women, and how he groped women was leaked on Friday night.

Governor Mike Pence: He was silenced after the video was leaked, but he has finally released a statement that he was offended by what he heard in the video;
As a husband and father, I was offended by the words and actions described by Donald Trump ... I do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them. I am grateful that he has expressed remorse and apologized to the American people. We pray for his family and look forward to the opportunity he has to show what is in his heart when he goes before the nation tomorrow night.
South Dakota Sen. John Thune released a statement via his Twitter account;
South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard released a statement via his Twitter account:
Nevada representative, Joe Heck said at a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday said;
I believe any candidate for President of the United States should campaign with common ethical and moral values and decency. I accept that none of us are perfect. However, I can no longer look past this pattern of behavior and inappropriate comments from Donald Trump. Therefore, I cannot, in good conscience, continue to support him nor can I vote for Hillary Clinton.
I believe our only option is to formally ask Mr. Trump to step down and allow Republicans the opportunity to elect someone who will provide us with the strong leadership so desperately needed and one that Americans deserve.
Idaho senator, Mike Crapo released a statement via his Facebook account, and he wrote;
Businesswoman Carly Fiorina, who was also contested against Trump in the Republican primaries also released a statement via Facebook, she wrote;
Donald Trump does not represent me or my party. I understand the responsibility of Republicans to support their nominee. Our nominee has weighty responsibilities as well. Donald Trump has manifestly failed in these responsibilities.

Utah Sen. Mike Lee statement via Twitter;
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert has vowed he won't be voting for either Trump or Hillary. Read his statement here;
Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman, while speaking with the Salt Lake Tribune, asked Mike Pence to lead the ticket, not Trump.
In a campaign cycle that has been nothing but a race to the bottom — at such a critical moment for our nation — and with so many who have tried to be respectful of a record primary vote, the time has come for Governor Pence to lead the ticket.
Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, while speaking with Utah's Fox 13 News;
I’m out. I can no longer in good conscience endorse this person for president. It is some of the most abhorrent and offensive comments that you can possibly imagine.
I wished Mike Pence was at the top of the ticket and we're going to have to figure that out at the — in the coming days and weeks, but it is tragic the way it is right now.
Former New York governor George Pataki wrote;
Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse via his Twitter wrote;
West Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore Capito via a statement wrote;
As a woman, a mother, and a grandmother to three young girls, I am deeply offended by Mr. Trump's remarks, and there is no excuse for the disgusting and demeaning language. Women have worked hard to gain the dignity and respect we deserve. The appropriate next step may be for him to reexamine his candidacy.

Alabama Rep. Martha Roby has said she won't be voting Trump in the coming election;

Utah representative, Mia Love wrote;
For the good of the party, and the country, he should step aside. I will not vote for Hillary Clinton who has her own trouble with the truth, has a major integrity deficit and seems to hold a disdain for hard-working Americans. With such uncertainty the role of Congress as a check and balance to the executive branch is more important than ever. It is vital for Republicans to maintain leadership of the House and for me to continue to represent and raise Utah’s voice in Washington.
Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan wrote;
While speaking to the Washington Post,Donald Trump said he won't be quitting the race. He said;
I’d never withdraw. I’ve never withdrawn in my life ... No, I’m not quitting this race. I have tremendous support.

He strongly encouraged me to endorse Paul Ryan in next Tuesday’s primary, and I’m pleased to do it.
Donald Trump has announced that Indiana state governor, Mike Pence will be his running mate and would join him on the GOP ticket to run for President and Vice-president. In a Donald's fashion of passing out information, Trump tweeted saying;
The VP pick of Donald J. Trump has been met with great reviews as Republicans have hailed him for picking the Indiana state governor.
Donald Trump is known for his outspoken personality and getting into series of trouble via tweets and interviews, while Mike Pence is a cautionary leader that stuck close to the conservative orthodoxy since he started talking on the radio.
Accepting the offer of Trump, the Indiana governor tweeted back and said;
Pence, who was running for re-election as the governor of Indiana would now drop out of the race, as his lawyer filed paperwork with the Indiana state secretary.
A new logo for their campaign was also released which features the letter T and P into each other, a logo that has not enjoyed the same review as the Trump and Pence themselves.
