Politico reports that war monger John Bolton has lost his access to the President, and he seems to throwing a fit. www.politico.com/...
Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton once enjoyed regular access to President Donald Trump, but can no longer get a hearing with him. “I requested a meeting with him and I was turned down,” Bolton told POLITICO, though he declined to offer further details.
Bolton went public with his complaint in an op-ed published Monday in National Review in which he laid out a blueprint to exit the Iran nuclear deal because he couldn’t deliver it to the president himself.
The story reports that Bolton had been considered for secretary of state and national security adviser. I guess he did not have enough ties to Big Oil or V. Putin for either of those jobs. Even after Flynn’s departure, he was given another bite at the apple.
He was briefly considered again as national security adviser after Michael Flynn’s ouster, and was then offered a position as deputy national security adviser when K.T. McFarland, who initially held the position, was nominated as U.S. ambassador to Singapore. Bolton turned down the position, and McMaster ultimately chose Ricky Waddell for the role.
So, he was turned down again, and in a fit of huffiness refused the position as national security adviser.
We are all better off for it.
