The trumpet man fired his second National Security Advisor in the last 14 months, this time Army General H.R. McMaster who replaced Trump's first National Security Advisor Michael Flynn who was also fired. Trump choose John Bolton to replace McMaster. Bolton is a well known extremist who likes to use the U.S military power with impunity. He previously served in the administrations of Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43.
President George W. Bush, using a recess appointment, made Bolton the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. But after his recess appointment expired, congress would not confirm Bolton to the regular position so he resigned. Bolton was a major supporter of the Iraq war and said over and over Iraq possessed WMD. He was part of Bush's neocons that were willing to start a war over a lie. PolitiDose, in a two part commentary titled, The Rosetta Stone To The Iraq War, dated December 8 and December 11, 2007 offers evidence why Bush and his neocon friends knew Iraq had no WMD.
Trump's appointment of Bolton is a huge contradiction for Trump as he commented on more than one occasion that Bush and those in his administration that promoted the war have no credibility on middle east matters. Bolton is also on record as a supporter of a military strike on North Korea and Iran. Bolton is as divisive as Trump so they will get along for a certain period of time.
The trumpet man continues to surround himself with people who play to his base and is thinking about the next Presidential election. He will never make it because Putin owns him and he will be impeached.
