      That said, if Trump is reportedly so flustered with Bolton and Pompeo for their failed approach to various countries, why doesn't he fire them. That's on him. He could easily have filled his Administration with people who were more in line with his "instincts." He chose not to.

          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.

          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.
