President Donald Trump is growing tired with his national security adviser John Bolton, and he is goading Bolton frequently regarding the mustachioed neocon’s lust for endless war.
Trump has been teasing Bolton for his hawkish beliefs for quite some time while conducting business inside the White House. According to reports, Trump said to Bolton in the White House Situation Room last year: “Ok, John, let me guess, you want to nuke them all?”
Trump has even taken Bolton to task in front of foreign dignitaries, showing a marked lack of respect for the neoconservative who served in the administration of globalist former President George W. Bush.
The President dressed down Bolton during a meeting in the Oval Office with Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar. Trump quipped to Bolton: “John, is Ireland one of those countries you want to invade?”
Administration officials have told The Independent that Trump frequently laments that “John has never seen a war he doesn’t like” while speaking about foreign affairs. He has made similar comments about Bolton publicly.
“If it was up to him he’d take on the whole world at one time, okay?” Trump said during an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press.
But still, Trump is keeping Bolton around in the administration because he reportedly believes that Bolton serves a purpose by playing “bad cop” to Trump’s “good cop” in diplomatic matters.
“He thinks that Bolton’s bellicosity and eagerness to kill people is a bargaining chip when he’s sitting down with foreign leaders,” one government official told The Independent. “Bolton can be the bad cop and Trump can be the good cop. Trump believes this to his core.”
