I think both Trump and Bolton should just move on, stop criticizing each other.

I don’t think that is going to happen, just 3 minutes ago

In fact, my views on Venezuela, and especially Cuba, were far stronger than those of John Bolton. He was holding me back!
That isn’t Trump’s style, and it’s probably the thing I can’t stand about him most. If he could lay off twitter so much, and just not attack former employees and other people so much like this, he would be so much more popular.
The thing that has baffled me from Day 1 with this guy (Bolton) is that he seemed so out of place in an administration where Trump's MAGA/nationalist agenda was supposed to be a breath of fresh air compared to the globalist idiocy we've seen in Washington since 1990. And John Bolton has been one of the defining figures in that globalist idiocy.
President Trump could not possibly have been naïve enough to believe he was getting an honest, objective advisor when he hired Bolton.
So why did he hire him?
One possibility crossed my mind this morning: I wonder if Trump hired Bolton for the explicit purpose of firing him later.
More on that as events unfold, folks ...
