For months, the Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson had been lobbying President Donald Trump to fire John Bolton, telling him it was foolish to keep on his team a top adviser who did not share his views on pressing national security issues.

Bolton saw things differently and made little secret of it.
Bolton, the president’s third national security adviser, was never a natural fit in the Trump White House. Serious and cerebral, the 70-year-old Yale-trained lawyer immediately went about assembling a team of like-minded loyalists immensely capable of pushing his policy priorities — which were sometimes, but not always, those of his boss.

Not exactly correct but report that if you like EDITOR ! EDITOR !! Get hold of your people .
Confident is not the right word
Since when has he lacked confidence in his own judgment? Isn't that the problem.
That is a very questionable interpretation. The opposir is more plausible.
Good job Mr President for making another one leave.
Confident? Or stubbornly obtuse?
I know how he feels. I'm very confident in my ability to be a center for the Lakers. I don't let the fact that I am a twelve pound dog stand in my way. Now if I could just get Frank Vogel to listen.
He hired him so he could say Bolton was bonkers and fire him making Trump look sane. This is how Trump has operated all his life - now he has us thinking Christ at least Trump has come to his senses - no he hasn’t !
His own lousy judgement 🙄🙄
His own judgement? More like Pompeo's judgement. And without people like Bolton and McMaster around, Pompeo will be more of an unelected president than Kissinger. Trump can't fire him now.
..... or he is under Putin’s thunb
AntiTrumpers will back Bolton all of a sudden.
Just like he is a stable genius? What crap reporting is this?
Your tweeter must watch Fox news. They said the exact same thing this morning.
What judgement? Kim still firing rockets. Chaos reigns all over the world which WILL affect us. Trumo is a moronic fool who has 0 care for America. It’s a all about him.
Is this a stage of dementia?
Wait a minute. Everyone hates Bolton because he's a Hawk? Now you're concerned Trump fired a Hawk? Or a Hawk left because of disagreements with Trump? You folks need to make up your minds.
Good for Trump, Bolton was a warmonger and where this goes is going to be real interesting..
Uh yeah right. That’s why a top secret spy had to be extracted from Putinville.
you mean he believes in his own shit
Another delusion from the President
The drama of thinking you can solve world problems alone...
It would be classier for Trump to accept Bolton's resignation rather than say he was fired. That's what is standard in this situation. But Trump is not classy.
Trump will become a very unhappy man and it will be that way until the end of his life. Bolton and all the people he fired will make his life a living hell when he is no longer president.
Good riddance he was a deep state elite war monger. That was his marching orders from the cabal. 'Keep America at war'
The tail is wagging the dog.
Because both of them have large fragile egos.
I'm sure he'll be able to find a Pompeo like yes man to fill the spot.
Really?! I heard that Melania was complaining that Boltons mustache tickled to much so he had to go! 😂
They parted ways because realDonaldTrump is jealous of Bolton’s silly mustache!😆😎😂
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
Can't believe Trump is being so mean to this gentleman. I hope this unfortunate incident hasn't soured him on working for the government.
Yeah, no one believes either you or him congrats none of this means anything
What's new with him blaming and firing people for his own self-inflicted blunders? He discards them the same way he relieves himself in the mornings.
Ironically Bolton was right.
Everything with Trump is about image. He doesn’t care about anyone other than himself.
