According to an article in The Week, dated today (3/8/2018), by Damon Linker, Trump is seriously considering appointing John Bolton as national security advisor. Bolton would be replacing H. R. McMaster.
As the article points out, Bolton is one of those neo-conservatives that believes with all his heart that the only possible response to difficult international conflicts is to bomb, bomb, and then if that doesn’t work, invade, conquer. Throughout his entire political career, he has resisted the use of diplomacy to solve conflicts between nations.
In light of Trump’s shallow understanding of nearly everything touching on presidential responsibilities, one hopes that Trump would seek the advice of knowledgeable advisors, but it is becoming increasingly evident that Trump will seek only flatterers and persons who agree with his ill-formed opinions.
Let us pray.
