What do you know about this?<\/p>\n

John Bolton, Donald Trump’s third national security adviser, is gone. He was either (a) fired by the president or (b) quit all by himself, of his own volition.<\/p>\n

Whichever way Bolton’s tenure ended really isn’t critical here. The critical element is this: Donald Trump cannot work with individuals who seek to give him any sort of critical advice with which he might disagree.<\/p>\n

Thus, Bolton has hit the road.<\/p>\n

Trump, Bolton hit the skids<\/a><\/p>\n

I won’t mourn the loss of John Bolton. I dislike his world view. He’s a warmongering hardliner. However, reports are surfacing that the national security guru disagreed with Trump’s decision to meet with the Taliban, the terrorists with whom the United States went to war after 9\/11.<\/p>\n

I reckon that Bolton told Trump of his disagreement with that call, so the president canned him, or asked him to quit, or perhaps Bolton offered to quit and Trump agreed.<\/p>\n

What a circus? What a carnival?<\/p>\n

Who in the world would dare to work with this president under any circumstance?<\/p>\n

So now Donald Trump is without an individual who can give him the kind of unvarnished national security advice he needs.<\/p>\n

Pass the popcorn. The clown show goes on.<\/p>\n\n
