Donald Trump\u2019s unique ability is on display once again.<\/p>\n

The president of the United States has this way \u2013 at least in my own biased way \u2013 of turning political zeroes into heroes.<\/p>\n

Take the case of John Bolton, the former national security adviser who quit or was fired because of disagreements with the president.
\nBolton is not shy in the least about expressing his views on worldly matters. I guess he got into trouble with the president because he gave Trump advice he didn\u2019t want to hear.<\/p>\n

Bolton has said in recent days that he didn\u2019t think the president should meet with the Afghan terrorists known as the Taliban at Camp David on the eve of the 9\/11 terrorist attack commemoration because it would, in Bolton\u2019s eyes, dishonor the memory of the victims we lost on that terrible day.<\/p>\n

Trump didn\u2019t want to hear it. He also didn\u2019t want to hear a lot of things that Bolton had to say.<\/p>\n

So now Bolton is gone. The president has appointed another individual to offer him \u201cadvice\u201d on how to protect the nation against our enemies. I doubt he\u2019ll listen to the new man any more than he listened to the three previous national security advisers; I\u2019ll pass on judging his relationship with the first guy, Michael Flynn, because he was gone after just 24 days in office.<\/p>\n

I suspect we haven\u2019t heard the last of John Bolton.<\/p>\n

Hey, don\u2019t misunderstand me. I didn\u2019t think much of Bolton\u2019s appointment when Trump made it. I think even less, though, of the man who selected him.<\/p>\n

So, keep talking, John Bolton.<\/p>\n\n
