      Jeet Heer Retweeted Nate Silver

      1. The Bolton departure has revived the whole question of whether Trump is a dove (or dovish) or not, which I think (pace Nate Silver) is the wrong frame-work for thinking about Trump's clownish foreign policy.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1171470117957300225 …

      Trump has been fairly dovish so far. That may or may not predict anything going forward, but it's notable. https://twitter.com/ezraklein/status/1171465998471327747 …

      2. Trump isn't a dove, nor is he a hawk. He's a showboating narcissist. Obama won a Nobel Prize so Trump wants one too. He thinks he has a way to do it: create international tension and then take credit for negotiating a resolution.

      3. This is Trump's M.O. all the time: break something (NAFTA, China trade, Iran deal) and then try and patch up differences (hence his back-channel feelers to Iran). Or in real estate terms: insult a property to distress its value, buy it cheap, stamp the TRUMP logo on it.

          SCOOP: Trump and top advisers on Monday in Oval discussed easing sanctions on Iran to help secure a mtg with Iran’s Rouhani at UNGA. Mnuchin voiced support. Bolton argued forcefully against. Trump accepted Bolton’s resignation next day. Story soon by me, @SalehaMohsin @jendeben

          Seriously. Like graciously intervening to allow the six Afghan girls entry to US for a robotics competition. You know, cause DHS flagged 'em. You know, cause they're Afghan. You know, cause of Trump's Muslim ban. 🙄 https://fortune.com/2017/07/13/trump-afghanistan-girls-robot/ …
