When Bolton got the National Security job

Jake Tapper (CNN) said he saw Bolton strutting into The White House like Sinatra walking into The Sands.

What a difference a day makes!

I wonder what is the real reason for this. Make no mistake, Bolton is a terrible person for many reasons, but this ouster looks like it is because Bolton isn't a patsy like everyone else around Trump.

The real worry was that Trump would listen to him. Bolton is a warmonger and a dangerous person. It isn't a bad thing that he is gone, but it is also a sign of how Trump really doesn't want any advisors.
