Revolving Door Continues!

Sean Hannity is pretty much our de facto security advisor and secretary of defense already. :roll:

Trump fires a known warmonger.

Are you glossing over the fact Trump brought these people in and usually with some line of how great they are? A competent person vets people who can perform the job at hand. And while even the best executives will have a few glitches where the person doesn't work out, this president (who made claims to only hire the best) clearly has no ability to keep people on his staff. He goes through people at an abnormal rate. The door never stops swinging. How many "acting" people does he have? Why does he name 4-5-6 people as prospectively filling roles, who all decline the offers? Who the heck wants to have a 95% chance of screwing up their lifetime achievements by signing on with this disastrous man?

So were you outraged when he hired him? Or is it that Trump can never do any wrong?

I didn't like it.
I, like Trump, was against the Iraq war.
I was surprised Trump hired Bolton, but after reading some political analyst's op-eds as to why Trump hired him, I understand it.
That said, eventually it becomes an explosive endeavor to have a dove and a hawk go at it for the last year or so.

Exactly! He's the one bringing these people in and telling us how wonderful and qualified they are. Until they aren't.

In the article I saw it said Trump was afraid Bolton was damaging his credibility. This coming from a guy that just recently held up an official NOAA map with magic marker scribbled on it!! :doh :lamo

It is pure incompetency. Do you go around asking the bully in school for advice on how to treat people? Hiring Bolton had no possible benefit for anyone.

I know you think that you KNOW everything so I'll leave you to your assumptions.

Once again the revolving door around Trump continues. John Bolton was fired today.

Didn't Trump once say he would bring the best of the best to help him with running the country?

The amount of people that have come in and then out suggests that either the best don't want to help Trump run the country or that those chosen are nowhere near the best.

Or could it be that anyone that is better than Trump has no chance to stay more than a small stint of time? If that is the case, then at no time will anyone that is any good be hired by Trump to help him run the country given that Trump is the most incompetent and un-knowledgeable person ever to hold the position.

This might be the only action by Trump that I agree with. John Bolton was a hawkish religious wackjob who has dreams of a religious armageddon, so he had no business in foreign policy.

Yes I agree that Trump's lies have become boring and expected. It makes Trump supporters work harder knowing they support a liar.

Turnover is commonplace, not a Trump specific thing. Find an actual issue to complain about.

"A second source echoed the notion Bolton clashed with the president, particularly regarding Iran and Afghanistan. They said Trump and others had come to view Bolton as “arrogant” and “smug.” The source further claimed that Pompeo, the secretary of state, had also become dissatisfied with Bolton and encouraged the president to remove him."

I would think that the Dems would be happy now. Of course they haven't put forth any workable ideas on Iran and Afghanistan, but then the Dems are empty suits.

Yeah really. America, you get what you pay for! :)

If he hires the BEST, there wouldn't be any turnover. Also the people that have left have either been fired by Trump (even though he only hires the best) or they have quit due to Trump's leadership.

Trump's in the big leagues now. You don't get do-overs or nice-try points in the bigs. When he screws up he gets called on it.

Could you list the screw ups?

I do know what I know and it is substantial because contrary to you, I am and have always been a seeker of truth. I have always believed that I can be wrong and given that being wrong is not a good place to be, I have tried to research the truth before I open my mouth.

You on the other hand, believe a proven liar, believe in a person that has a proven record of incompetence (13 failed businesses and the highest record of personal debt ever), believe in a person that does not believe in anyone, and believe a person that in his entire life has never done anything that did not benefit him personally first.

As such, the probabilities highly favor my assumptions being right over your assumptions!

Trump hated his mustache but LOVED him on Fox News. Thats all it takes to become National Security Advisor.

Bolton as whacked out as he is, comes out of the Taliban secret meeting fiasco the only guy between Trump, Pompeo and Bolton that had even the beginning of a clue. Now that is truly saying something. Bolton, closer to a rational National Security approach than Trump and Pompeo. Nothing more than simple recognition for how low the bar is in TrumpWorld.
