* Trump's second national security advisor, three-star Army general H.R. McMaster is finally out after months of speculation
* John Bolton, a hawkish conservative who was George W. Bush's ambassador to the United Nations will replace him April 9
* Trump called McMaster, whom he has clashed with repeatedly 'a friend' and said: he as 'very thankful' for his service
* Bolton is the son of a Baltimore firefighter who's known in Washington for his brush-like moustache and his curmudgeonly Fox News Channel appearances
* He is a fierce opponent of the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal but a cheerleader for Bush's Iraq war – which Trump has called a waste of blood and treasure
* Bolton's afternoon visit to the West Wing on Thursday was followed by a flurry of activity as press aides drafted statements and Trump was delayed a half-hour from a scheduled speech in the East Room
President Donald Trump will replace National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster with John Bolton on April 9, the White House announced late Thursday.
Bolton, a former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, is a hawkish conservative with a pugnacious streak – and a frequent guest on the Fox News Channel.
He is also a fierce opponent of the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal.
At one time a vacillating potential presidential candidate, the curmudgeonly Bolton will be the third person to be Trump's chief national security aide in his 14-month presidency.
