Michael Savage met with Trump personally more than once. Was honored to be at the White House.
Savage outright told him “Please don’t fall for hiring Bolton. He will betray you. He will lie about you. His loyalty is to himself and the Deep State. He is dishonest.” Trump knew better and hired him anyway.
I really thought that Savage was exaggerating and too suspicious. I was wrong.
And So was President Trump.
I would criticize President Trump more harshly for inviting Savage Weiner to the White House than for hiring John Bolton.
My just-dreamed-up thinking: Trump hired Bolton during a key turning point in U.S. defense policy.
My guess Trump purposely hired Bolton thinking that with Bolton as an advisor, the Deep State could not criticize Trump like they wanted to, when he got us out of the Middle East fighting.
And it wasn’t that long after Bolton left that Trump made the hit on the Iranian General at Baghdad airport.
I don’t believe Trump was conned by Bolton in the slightest.
Trump has been keeping the Deep State at a safe distance while he builds his case, makes key staffing changes at National Security, and appoints judges.
When Trump is ready to roll, it will be the right time. Trust THE Man.
Trump and Barr may decide that the fireworks can wait till after the election since he’s so far ahead of the Basement Guy it’s pathetic.
