Bolton strongly disagreed with Trumps desire to meet with Taliban leaders and his willingness to meet with Irans president, but three sources revealed that Trump was angry at Bolton for another reason, reported CBS News.
Those sources, who were directly involved, said Trump was driven to distraction by his belief that Bolton or those close to him had leaked a story about the president asking whether nuclear weapons could be used against hurricanes.
I got it. I got it. Why dont we nuke them? Trump asked, according to one source who was present. They start forming off the coast of Africa, as theyre moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why cant we do that?
The White House official assured the president they would look into that, but sources said aides were astonished by Trumps question.
A National Security Council memo from 2017 shows that Trump asked about bombing hurricanes.

(2,478 posts)Bolton knew damn well what he got himself into. To me it sounded more like a polite disagreement without having the balls to say that he should be impeached.

Trump the Scorpion have Bolton the Frog a ride on his back across the stream, and as soon as they both crawled up on the bank, Trump stung him, because that's what scorpions do.
MUCH of the coverage of this has included stating that Bolton has ALWAYS considered himself "the smartest guy in the room."
Womp, womp.

[And I do think that Bolton, like trump, cannot shut up - he may damage trump, overtly or covertly, and for that I would give him a bit of credit; whereas trump is totally worthless].

(11,882 posts)After something is exposed on trump he'll leak out he's considering ivankie,Jared, or jr. As Bolton's replacement, for attention, distraction, or because he can do this.. Wouldn't shock me if Pence was dumped for one of them for self protection.either as a VP.

(51,378 posts)Bolton was supposed to go on the Sunday morning talk shows and defend Trump's invitation of the Taliban to Camp David during the week of 9/11. Bolton refused. Trump called him on the carpet about it Monday. Bolton offered to resign Monday night. Trump beat him to it by firing him Tuesday morning.

(11,438 posts)Without a doubt, this is an administration that runs on chaos and our president is embarrassingly ignorant. However, Bolton was one of the worst choices possible for national security advisor, so whatever it took for him to be relieved of his duties was a win for America, and peace in the world.
