With another presidential tweet, another high-level adviser bites the dust. John Bolton, President Trump's third national security adviser, won't be coming back."I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House," Trump told the nation Tuesday. Bolton immediately disputed the claim that he was fired, saying that he resigned Monday night.
However it happened, the bigger point is that he is gone. The turnover in this administration has been stunning and is emblematic of an administration where governance is not a top priority. The Bolton firing is not the last one that we will be experiencing. The only question is whether voters will apply the same logic to President Trump himself come November 2020. Why Trump loves SharpiesMany of Trump's most ardent critics won't be upset about Bolton's departure.
