    I am impressed that you know so much about what President Trump is doing. Except you don't.

    Nor do you know why President Trump likes Ambassador Bolton. I have some thoughts on Bolton. He has specific views on a wide variety of foreign policy areas. I heard someone say, last month, that Bolton has a bushy mustache and sharp elbows. He knows how to fight and win against entrenched anti-Trump bureaucracies. Bolton will ensure Trump hears a range of different views and options for any given issue. Once President Trump has decided Bolton will push bureaucrats until the missions are accomplished.

    Trump has liked everyone that he appointed until they had the temerity to openly disagree with him. H.R. McMaster didn't mince words - typically military and that didn't work for Trump. Unless Bolton is the Trump whisperer, he will likely face the same fate, regardless of whether he accomplishes his missions.

    I see President Trump far differently than you.

    He has just eight years. He had/has to undo the massive damage done by the leftist Barack Hussein O. Now he has to realign all of the trade agreements, resolve the nuclear problems of NK and Iran, deal with China and Russia all without much help from the rest of the so-called western democracies.

    I believe President Trump will succeed as long as he follows his instincts.

    Bolton will have his year.
