Mike Pompeo On John Bolton Firing: Trump 'Entitled To Staff That He Wants' | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
John Bolton is now going back to FOX NEWS.
Thank you? Question: How long will Pompeo last? …. Answer (it’s easy!) until he gets the job offer he’s looking for! 😂
Come to Pakistan we give u a job
as a 👷
I predict that Pompeo, Mr. pasta will be Next. Oh those damning SWAMP creatures!
Pompeo is going nowhere until he gets his holy war, I am so surprised people have no clue that Pompeo is a fanatical evangelical who thinks it’s his job to go into battle with Muslims until the Rapture.
I guess trumps new press secretary doesn’t have what it takes to talk to cameras. But able to cash tax payer checks.
Same with Sarah Sanders, they’re welfare queens taking a government check for doing nothing.
Be careful Mike, you my be next.
And that would be fine because the president is entitled to have the team that he wants.
@Crimdor And if that team let’s Russia, Iran, Syria, North Korea do whatever they want, then so be it…………………..right? 🤔
KingJustice98 – that’s some wonderful speculation.
Pompeo isn’t going anywhere. His approach to foreign relations is eyes wide open. We’re not going to be abused any longer. That was the last admin.
Pompeo is going nowhere until he gets his holy war. Mike Pompeo is a fanatical evangelical who thinks it’s his job to go into battle with Muslims until the Rapture. What people don’t realize is that Bolton was less eager to trigger another war than Pompeo is, that’s why Trump loves him, Trump can’t wait for the blood to flow, he knows war equals profits.
I like how Pompous Pompeo acts as if his job and position is safe. Little does he know that his girth isn’t so rotund that he can’t get shoehorned underneath a bus like the rest of Trump’s former sycophants. People like Pompeo don’t realize that with Trump, you’re dealing with a complete sociopath until it’s too late.
The stone which the builders refused has become the head stone of the corner.
Pompeo is a fanatical evangelical who thinks it’s his job to go into battle with Muslims until the Rapture, he knows exactly who Trump is.
Sean Hannity is eying your job, Mike. lol
The Chosen One
Hannity is eyeing Melania’s job.😂
Lmao!
@David J love this comment
🤣🤣
Pompeo seems absolutely elated to deliver this news.
Two Hawks fighting over the same nest. Wwwaaark!
Soon, someone else will be delivering the same news about him. Nobody is safe in Trumplethinskin’s world.
Pompeos views are no different from Boltons. He should be fired too. Fire all the Israeli loyalist warmongers.
Ah, another dirty anti-Semite. Like it or not Israel is a beacon of freedom and civility in the Mid East cesspool
@Wiser Greener HA, as if Trump would ever fire his daughters husband. Theres a better chance of him firing his VP, also an Israeli loyalist, than Jared.
@Da’Chief There is no logic behind your accusation. It is simply a smear word of the defamation league to stain the opposition. Opposition that has a sole loyalty to America and is anti-war. Are Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, or Mike Pence semitic? Are they even Jewish? No, theyre Judeo-Christian Zionists with a dual loyalty to the foreign state of Israel born of extremist theology.
@Da’Chief Netanyahu/Kushner/Likud group, those are the true anti-Semites.
Actually what people aren’t realizing is that Pompeo is more of a war monger than Bolton was, he actually believes his job is to oversee a holy war between Muslims and Christians.
This is how u stop the Alabama-hurricane-cone fiasco in its tracks. Wag the 🐕.
Pompeo is the consummate toady; he’s perfectly designed to survive the Trump swamp.
Yeah, he’s like Paulie on the Sopranos.
entitlement is the birth right of the sociopath, yet no one seems to know this, this is the narcissistic injury, which causes the narcissistic rage, bad baby
It really is like an old-style Saturday morning serial – “Donny and the Bottom-Feeders: How Low Can You Go?”
Someone had to take the blame for trump taliban meeting on America’s soil
Mm hmm and if Obama had had any kind of talks with the Taliban, let alone with an invite to the White House, the GOP would not stop screeching “Impeach him!” at the tops of their lungs until he was out of office. They are such hypocrites it’s not even funny!
GOP =/= Trump.
Republicans =/= Trump.
Trump is an anomaly. He is here to upset the system. He is The One.
RINOS will be bagged and tagged. There are about 30 sleeper-globalists Republicans that need to be excised.
No one is saying he isn’t entitled to a staff he wants. We want to know why he didn’t hire the staff he wants the first time. Or second. Or third.
If he knows all the best people, surely he can get it in, at most, 2 tries.
Trumps next NSA,
should know how to play.
So who on Fox will be up,
to win the cabinet cup…..
it gets stranger and stranger each day.
Knowing how much an imbecile Trump is , probably Hannity
*THE CLOCK IS TICKING FOR POMPEO TOO!!!* ⏳🕐
*NOW POMPEO KNOWS HE HAS TO “SWALLOW” TO KEEP HIS JOB!!!* 😥
ya think nobody knew Bolton was a hawk before Trump hired him???
ted johnson agreed. Trump is mr Drano;).
Let’s see how this drone feels next week when he gets the boot. It’s just a matter of time. Yawn!
His nose is so far up, can’t wait for it to be his time to GO.
Trump can you fired all staff of White House including security please
