THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

[HairOfTheDog]

This hasn't been reported by the media yet so take it for what it's worth, General McMaster out and John Bolton is in.

Unfortunately, it's true.



John Bolton ^ is just as bad a choice for National Security Advisor as was Mike Flynn (which is probably the worst presidential appointment I've ever witnessed).

Also unfortunately, the powerful role is not subject to Senate approval. So, Bolton's appointment will face no challenge.

Bolton was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the U.S.'s invasion of Iraq, even after it was irrefutably shown that Saddam Hussein was wrongly accused of aiding the ⁹⁄₁₁ terrorists and hiding WMDs.

Bolton advocated for the U.S. to launch a military strike against Cuba several years back (for reasons that also turned out to be total bullshit).

Bolton has promoted the idea that the U.S. and Israel should preemptively strike Iran.

Bolton appears to think war with North Korea is a viable solution.

This guy is a complete hawk, conspiracy theorist, and often proven to be just plain wrong when it comes to his reasons for encouraging military force over diplomacy.

Rand Paul must be about ready to burst. All of those 'non-interventionist' promises Trump made during the campaign were about the only things that lined up nicely with both Libertarians like Paul and democratic socialists like Bernie.

Now, we're sitting back and watching Trump oust the more strategic and diplomatic members of his inner circle of advisors and replace them with FOX extremists and military hawks. I'm very sorry to see McMaster go.
