      I find myself wondering if John Bolton has cultivated enough trust w/Trump yet to tell him he's being publicly humiliated and that's a very dark way to spend a Sunday morning.https://twitter.com/JenniferJJacobs/status/1015952396219043840 …

      One of the few things Trump cares about is appearing to be respected. If someone close to him can convince him that he's being made a fool of, it might (tho highly unlikely) to elicit reversal.

          I have always, from the start, been very worried about what may happen if this collapses. Trump can't stand appearing to lose.

          If even Fox News begins reporting he was played by Pyongyang, the tiny little gloves will come off and the world will pay the price.

          Seoul must be worried also.

          The problem with psychopathic narcissists like Trump is that when they find out they are being humiliated or losing, their reaction is rage (& acting it out) not change of course. It's only when reality impinges gradually & persistently that he will change course to save face.

          We could start a go-fund-me campaign to hire the Thai divers to help us rescue the kids we have stranded and alone here in the US. I'm sure Mr. Trump will be willing to cooperate with that effort.....

          This is part of what makes Bolton a dangerous person to have Trump’s ear. I think he’s crafty enough to be playing Trump & the situation like a fiddle, moving us closer to some sort of military action.

          I suspect it will elicit rage, greater than normal incoherence & saber rattling or striking.

          Almost every country in the world does not respect the president right now. And yet he comes out and says the world respects us again. Which, they don’t. At all. He and those who follow him are delusional at best.

          Wouldn't count on it. He's the guy who always blames the underlings for not demanding respect, even when the lack thereof is due to HIS behavior.
