White House On John Bolton: His Views 'Don’t Line Up With The President's' | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
But Stephen Miller’s do? That’s par for the course
I’m not convinced Trump has any say over Miller. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s someone elses watchdog
@Anglus Who do you have in mind? Trump appointed him senior policy advisor, but he had closer ties to Sessions. I am very curious who he answers to.
@flordeamapolita So am I. He doesn’t seem to attract ire from Trump and might be the reason Trump changes his mind so readily at moments when he actually seems to be thinking straight. If he’s “policy advisor” whose policies is he advising on because Trump is all over the shop. Some ultra right interests maybe?

“He wasn’t a complete and total Sycophant, and the President cannot suffer such insolence. Bolton failed our Emperor for the last time.”
As both their views are questionable it’s hardly a loss or even a step up for America.
I don’t care for Bolton but nobody’s views line up with Mr Pres.
it sounds like you like war .
@Mark DeVaul no it doesnt and there is no sane reasoning to come to any such conclusion
so right! they change from week to week, day to day and hour by hour.
@Mark DeVaul non-sequitur.
No one’s views line up with the president’s.
Bolton fired? In the voice of Nelson from the Simpsons, AH AHH!
#45 what exactly are your policies? 😎
A chicken hawk fires a chicken hawk.
the clown need to fire himself
Good riddance to John Bolton known as “The Pornstache” & may he meet the same fate as John Wadd Holmes.
Someone had to take the blame for trump failed tailbian summitt
I thought war criminal Bolton was a perfect fit for this fake af administration.
Cant wait to see what train wreck he picks to fill Boltons spot. Sure it’ll be a doozy
Fire Kuschner too for the totally failed foreign policies an deals! Syria, NK, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Afghanistan etc etc. Even Greenland, duh!
“…the fact is…” – from the mouth of “acting” Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley
John Bolton’s agenda has never changed.
Trump should have known that.
Then why did he hire him in the first place?
Let’s hope the neocons are out. Bit i doubt it.
Code for his plan failed miserably.
There needs to be a time limit for how long someone can be an “acting” anything in government before either someone else takes over or someone who’s actually been confirmed is installed
Bolton spoke up about the Iranian oil tanker selling oil to Syria and Russia in violation of the sanctions.
Putin was upset about this.
So the lying orange puppet fired him.
