Mother Jones: Trumps War Cabinet Is Taking Shape
https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2018/03/trumps-war-cabinet-is-taking-shape/
A few days ago the White House said that H.R. McMaster still had the presidents full confidence. Thats a death sentence, of course, and today the axe fell. Hes out and John Bolton is in:
.Mr. Bolton, who will take office April 9, has met regularly with Mr. Trump to discuss foreign policy, and was on a list of candidates for national security adviser. He was in the West Wing with Mr. Trump to discuss the job on Thursday.
Hell, even George Bush wasnt crazy enough to let Bolton serve as his National Security Advisor. But Trump is. He wants someone who agrees that we should threaten every bad guy on earth with war, and Boltons that guy.
Back in 2016, rumor had it that Trump didnt pick Bolton for a top job because he thought Boltons mustache looked stupid. For once, I applauded Trumps idiocy. Im dismayed that he managed to get over his contempt for dumb facial hair.
