....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."

Either way , just glad to see Trump cut ties with the war mongering swamp dweller.

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.Originally Posted by Drummond

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.

I don't even get where you are going with that....

BBC neutrality: 'Bolton has just walked the plank'.
No definite news reported as to precise circumstances .. just the tweeted difference in accounts, also the BBC pointing out that 'over 50' officials have been fired on Trump's watch.
One comment from John Sopel .. that there's a perception that Trump is an impetuous character who regularly needs to be reined in 'by adults' (don't you just love BBC judgmental 'neutrality' ?). Sopel speculates that in this instance, it was the other way around: Bolton was too hawkish. Something to do with Taliban talks .. ?

Pompeo's suggestion or whomever the President chooses, will be like Rand Paul. You should be very happy.

In the long run it probably will not matter. With the dust up, I expect that Bolton will not be as circumspect as Mattis was.
