Ridiculous and dangerous framing here by the NYT, who continue the bizarre media tradition of trying to slight Trump for being insufficiently hawkish, and daring him to take aggressive military actionhttps://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1127283486942007297 …

Bolton blew up the Hanoi summit in February with Kim. The Venezuela coup attempt was a complete failure. Increased tensions and provocations with Iran. Pompeo and Bolton are disasters. Trump is ultimately responsible for the horrible personnel he installs

And don't tell me the Deep State is somehow thwarting Trump's personnel choices in every instance. That's a factor with lower-level people, maybe. But the National Security Advisor requires no Senate confirmation. Cabinet positions are almost entirely the purview of the President

POTUS still makes the final decision. And so far so good. He's been pretty damn measured. I'm kind of impressed considering everyone around hime & in the media wants him to bomb someone somewhere.

I'm not sure it would have been so easy. He still needs Senate approval

No, he does not need Senate approval for the National Security Advisor. You are wrong

Yes and no. Trump is a hands-off kind of guy. The only readily available people with the experience needed to free him up for golf at Mar a Lago are all war mongers. I mean, he could theoretically chosen some mavericks, but he'd have to spend a lot of time supporting them.

Now you're in form. The media serves power otherwise they'd be practicing journalism like you do. Sometimes great (now) sometimes just okay (Biden's just another pawn, not a real candidate even if he wins)

"He could easily have filled his Administration with people who were more in line with his "instincts." He chose not to." Really? Those left of center would never align themselves w/ Trump, and those right of center are still, in their hearts, never Trumpers.

You keep acting as though Trump has a foreign policy ideology. He says in front of a crowd what they want to hear. When something works he takes credit when it doesn't he blames someone else. This isn't complicated. Trump is a con man. Apparently he has conned you too.

He doesn't fire them because large donors want them there and to fire them would make those donors support his rivals.

Maybe his 'instincts' are not quite what people think they are.

You appear to be assuming that Trump has the competence and lucidity to make such choices based on a deliberate policy agenda.
