Another one bites the dust. Donald Trump has fired John Bolton:

I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House. I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 10, 2019

….I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning. I thank John very much for his service. I will be naming a new National Security Advisor next week. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 10, 2019

Best part?

The Bolton firing comes just about an hour after WH announced that Bolton would be taking part in a WH briefing with @SecPompeo and @stevenmnuchin1. — Mark Knoller (@markknoller) September 10, 2019

Ugh.

At this point, it seems fair to ask why anyone would sign on to work for Donald Trump. Evidently no one is indispensable.

This is fine.

This is terrible for the White House. Bolton was correct about the Taliban; State wasn’t. Bolton has been a hawkish voice for a tough national security policy, and his ouster likely signals that Trump’s approach will be significantly softer from this point forward. https://t.co/g13Shw46eW — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) September 10, 2019
