Bolton , because of warmongering identity, was just a front to keep a few rogue nations in check while POTUS was doing other things...everybody knows Bolton would start as war with any and everybody, if given chance..IMO, I think he and Mattis were just for show and tell, but D JT knew they couldn't be trusted or last long...

Great move, but the question remains why he appointed him in the first place. He knew he was a warhawk. It seems like Trump puts roadblocks in front of himself sometimes.

Trump likes the good cop bad cop thing, I think his intention was to have an unhinged maniac to make his threats seem more credible.

Trump has to depend on advisors. He has no choice. When you're president, you've always got people coming out of the woodwork telling you how great you are, and adding by the way, if you want to do the right thing this is how you must do it. Trump has made many mistakes with his appointments, but I'm sure he's learning.

"the tipping point happened when Bolton expressed his displeasure with Trump's impromptu invitation of the Taliban to Camp David on the week of the Sept 11 anniversary"
