Analysis: John Bolton Did Not See Firing Coming | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
This stable genius only hires the “best people ” Trump is a corrupt CLOWN. Vote all Republicans out in 2020.👣💙
@EAGLE SHIELD The only TDS I know of is Trump’s Delusional Supporters. The recommended orange kool-aid intake is 8 8oz. glasses a day.
j walsh then you have the rise of the greatest dictator ship ever remember America is a 2 party nation not a single party the best you can do is to preserve what you have until you have other institutions in place before taking out 1
Trump had to change the news of him taking military money at his golf courses overseas
@Meesta Meesta
Way to go. Good job trying to expand the Presidents base. I’m sure randomly hating on the comment section is going to push him over 60 or even 70% national approval any day now.
@Sean D No. It’s just going to make you unhinged losers a little more unhinged. 😆
@Crystal Giddens ty
DDKaraokeOutlaw – so are you happy that trump got rid of him?
Trump just did this to distract us from the Russia probe! 😂😂😂
Huh? How could he not see it coming??? WE all did … 🌹
@Leo Peridot Trump has an addiction to lying, so that’s usually the inclination – if it really mattered. The scary thing is, we have a poorly informed and educated real estate investor making national security decisions.
Next will be Pompeo

If you work for Donnie you it should be self evident that you will be getting fired sooner or later.
The point is to keep our government off balance.
Yes that’s why Putin put his puppet in our Whitehouse!!
Right on the money
@Scotty Jones
And on “that”…that’s why he’s a traitor. To bad his cult followers can’t understand that.
The US needs a regime change.
@Richard Skipper I agree with that statement.
Kevin Jacobs: I feel sorry 4 you.
@Roosevelt B we either unite to be strong together or we hate each other over petty things and perish together, regardless we are in this together.
@Richard Skipper try telling comrade trump supporters that. But I do agree with you.
@Roosevelt B cool…yeah the trumpsters are a mess. You either agree with them or your equalled to garbage to them.
How could he see this not coming? Trump hires, when disagreed with fires, hires again etc.. Oligarchs always do this.
@Meesta Meesta *TOOL*

Bolton is a war criminal.
Bolton needs to go straight to CONGRESS and SPILL HIS GUTS
Melania needs to be talk to Congress.
whatapptvgirlshowhd.info/KDzsqbrjTV0v
That sounds good but judging the results of all the people who spilled their guts to the media and/or Congress I don’t feel confident that it will make a huge difference.
@keith parkhill Buddy, what you dont know could fill a zeppelin hanger. Check yourself.
Oh come on. Of course he did. He tried to muscle in on Pompeo’s position!
Pompeo has dirty knees and orange lips he can’t stop happily licking.
Even Pompeo has got to know his days are numbered with Trump too. I’m willing to bet Pompeo doesn’t make to the end of the term either.
Trump August 30th, 2016: “I’m going to surround myself only with the best and most serious people.” HAHAHAHAHAHA…
Deep State Jesus dunno, Advisors most likely
@Von Dutch Advisors? No. Trump has been placing people in positions that those far-right talking heads (especially his advisors over at FOX like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, to name a few) tell him to appoint. Trump is stupid. He is simply appointing extremist from the right. Trump has no business being president.
Jon Fox hahahahahaha you’ve been indoctrinated here my friend, you need to open your mind and search other avenues for your information > search Bill Binney
@Von Dutch trump stated that he selects and surrounds himself with the best people and that includes his advisors who “advised” him to choose Bolton. This is one more Trumpian failure. Accept it
Deep State Jesus oh nobody cares about Bolton, We care about lowest unemployment rate since 1974 and 4% gdp , Phuck the advisors, Flynn, Mattis and any other parasites living off the taxpayer, phuck Comey and Mueller and McCabe too
Is anyone really in charge of this insane asylum Trump’s calls an administration? I bet whenever you walk into Trump’s white house, it looks and sounds like the bar scene from Star Wars.
wilbur ross looks like the emperor
lol
I was thinking more of the opening, madhouse scene in “Amadeus.”
No. Star Wars has always shown diversity of cultures and species. Trump only likes beautiful women with or without fake body parts, rich white men, or dictators.
Trump: I hire the BEST people. Believe me.
Bolton couldn’t see how fine Trump’s new clothes were
ExPFC Wintergreen v2.0 nope I think Bolton thought his new clothes were mush more stylish than trump’s new clothes.
I am not a Bolton fan but there goes the last person to stop Trump from handing the USA to Putin on a platter.
Yes ma’am. That’s what I’ve been saying. He’s no traitor to this country as the pos we have as a president.
@Scotty Jones
But Trump cultist really believe GOD sent Trump to “save” our republic. What a joke? What a disaster to befall this nation.
@Arthur Anderson Rome fell from within!! God save our republic in Jesus name I pray!!
You’re a nut
I heard Gary Busey is being considered as a replacement !
We want Meatloaf. Because he will do anything for love…
Well let`s see now . He could go for Tm Allen , Kid Rock , Kenny Rodgers , Ted Nugent , etc. The number of bad choices Trump can make is rather long . maybe he will consider Alex Jones or Jeanine Pirro ? Sean Hannity ? Laura Ingram ?
At this junction it really doesn’t matter who he hires as a replacement. If he or she deviates slightly on policy on what trump wants, or thinks he wants, it’s over.
I heard Jared, Eric and Don Jr.
What bout Rob Lowe?
Celebrity in chief Donald trump always spin the media narrative whenever he in hot water. A few days ago he was taking USA military money at his golf courses overseas, & now he’s firing his staff..
Who can’t say anything because they signed a disclosure form.
Bolton didn’t see the firing coming because he forgot that Trump turns against everybody sooner or later
Stay focus on all of trump’s evil 😈 miss-deeds. Epstein connection, stealing taxpayers money 💰, lying and cheating 😱!
Yes thete will be reyributoon. Either legally OR illegally. If you wait for it it will come.
Bolton may have had some principles after all. Trump doesn’t fire his brown nosers.
Since when do sycophants have principles?
Leo Peridot THANK YOU
@Leo Peridot I was being facetious but point taken
A traitor and a war criminal walk into a bar, the traitor turns to the war criminal and says “you’re fired!!!”…
This administration is a joke 2020 can’t get here fast enough .
This president needs to be shown the door immediately
And then a cellblock
