Bolton: "I'm guilty of retaining classified documents."

[NobodySock]

The irony of John Bolton is that he basically has been identified as one of the lefties that simply detest Trump for who he is and is incapability to manage the oval office. When in reality he was the biggest right wing war hawk to ever walk around 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

And that was just what they found in his mustache!

Bolton a leftie? Hardly. Trump is neither left nor right. he's not even a centrist. He's a businessman populist, and whatever works or you'll buy for the situation works. He just jumped on the conservative bandwagon. MAGA is not conservative but populist.

Yeah pretty much spot on. I'd further define trump closer to an Authoritarian Populist (championing for the average joe in order to retain power) even a Demagogue (exploiting fears to get power). Anyway, Bolton always seemed like a really strong neocon that Trump needed in his first term but when Bolton wouldn't sing Trump's praises at the end, he got onto Trump's list of petulance revenge.

It's obvious from any objective distance that while Bolton has genuine issues with Trump's character, his vehemence is informed mostly by his ego and the manner in which Trump dismissed him. People like Bolton are simply not dismissed by the likes of Trump, as far as Bolton is concerned.

Nor should they be.
