    Default Bolton Out

    ....I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning. I thank John very much for his service. I will be naming a new National Security Advisor next week.

    I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House. I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore....

    I offered to resign last night and President Trump said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

    This is receiving prominent reporting on the BBC, as 'breaking news' ... I for one am sorry to see John Bolton leave (whatever the precise circumstances are).

    He went through the generals, including his favorite Mattis. I am finding that he keeps having a problem with those that have problems with his foreign policy perspective. One thing is notable, for the most part they are not going out of their way to publicly humiliate him.

    It's becoming a dust up whether or not he resigned or was fired.

    I think Bolton's thinking on Taliban and Camp David aligned with mine. I'm guessing he wasn't as diplomatic as mine. lol!

    Yes, well. The BBC has just started screening its 6PM news. This is being billed in their introductory headlines as 'Trump fires again' ... no doubt they're aiming at a 'neutral' report that just 'happens' to be full of negativity against President Trump. Later on in the news broadcast, no doubt I'll see ...

    Looks like Pompeo and Mnuchin are going to have a press conference regarding our relationships with allies-this from asst. press secretary. I'm sensing a 'move along' off this topic.

    Every good leader has people under him that disagree with him. It would be stupid to do otherwise, just have a bunch of yes men. The problem is when those people don't shut the fuck up once a decision has been made, and under this President they never do. It's like almost to a person once they disagree with Trump on an issue they feel a need to air that disagreement in public. No leader wants to tolerate that garbage.

    I don't think you need worry another moment. Soon there will be another that thinks like you.

    Default My favorite words from former Defense Secretary Rumsfeld .....

    Pretty well covers all of the banter, hyperbole, accusations, rumors, and conspiracy theories presented almost everywhere...ALL THE TIME.
    Let's all agree. WE DON'T ALWAYS AGREE, OR LIKE WHAT OTHERS SAY, DO, THINK, WONDER ABOUT, OR HOW THEY ACT.
    Terrible trait of HUMAN'S.



    I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.
    But despite all of that. I will never lower myself to the level of Liars, Haters, Cheats, and Hypocrites.
